3-2 CHAPTER 3: INSTALLING THE NETWORK DRIVERS
Accessing DOS
The 3Com program is a DOS-based program that loads
network drivers, modifies some adapter parameters, and runs
diagnostic tests on the adapter. If you are using an operating
interface other than DOS, such as OS/2
or Windows 3.x, you
must exit from that interface before installing the drivers.
Table 3-1 provides the procedures to use to access DOS from
various operating systems.
Installing NetWare Drivers
This section describes how to install NetWare drivers in four
different networking situations, which are listed below:
■ One adapter in a client
■ Multiple adapters in a client
■ One adapter in a server
■ Multiple adapters in a server
