DFE-650 Series Fast Ethernet PC Card User's Guide
Software Installation
17
During your Installation Director run, if you choose DOS as your
station OS, then in some cases Installation Director will provide
additional services. In such cases, you will be prompted to select a
target directory for storage of software modules that Installation
Director will copy over from the D-Link DFE-650 Series Fast
Ethernet PC Card Driver diskette. The README text will provide
full information on the additional services provided..
Installation Director also provides access to the Diagnostic
Program, which may be used to check the hardware components of
the DFE-650, as well as its proper interoperation with your
network.
For the case that you have a Novell NetWare network environment
and your notebook PC workstation is running MS-DOS (or
equivalent) or Windows 3.1, then Installation Director will lead you
to the appropriate installation README, and you will also find
expanded installation instructions in the following subsections of
this chapter. Refer to whichever instructions you find most
comfortable.
Expanded Installation Instructions:
DOS Platform in NetWare Network
If your notebook PC is running MS-DOS or an equivalent OS, then
you have a choice between two flavors of NetWare client software.
You can choose to install the traditional 16-bit NetWare Client for
DOS, or you can install the 32-bit NetWare Client32 for DOS.
Both types of client software will provide excellent service. It is
not certain whether there is a performance benefit in using the 32-
bit client software under DOS. But the procedure for installation of
the 32-bit client software is by far more complicated. Thus you
might choose to make an overview comparison of the following
installation instructions for the two kinds of client software before
you decide which to install.
