Installing NetWare Drivers 3-3
Finding the Adapter’s Port Address
When operating in a NetWare environment, you must obtain
the adapter’s port address before installing the client driver
in a multiple adapter situation or before installing one or
more server drivers. To find the appropriate port address,
follow these steps:
1 Access the Configuration and Diagnostic Program on the
3C59X EtherDisk diskette.
Refer to the section “Detailed Installation” later in this chapter
for instructions for accessing the main menu.
2 When the Configuration and Diagnostic screen appears,
select Configuration and Diagnostic Program, and press
[Enter].
A screen appears, listing all installed adapters.
3 Select the adapter whose port address you want.
4 Select the View item in the menu bar. Press [Enter].
A screen appears with the port address shown as a four-digit
hexadecimal number.
One Adapter in a Client
To install the driver for a single adapter in a NetWare DOS
ODI environment, follow the instructions in this section.
The 3Com DOS ODI driver is 3C59X.COM.
DOS ODI client drivers that support the 3Com PCI adapter
support shared interrupts. However, since there is no
industry-standard way to support shared interrupts, other
adapters may support them differently, or not at all. If you think
that another PCI adapter does not support shared interrupts,
contact its manufacturer for a shared interrupt driver.
