If no 3Install account exists, the drivers will be loaded from the
diskette (rather than from the server), and they may not be the
most current versions. Instructions for configuring a 3Install
account are contained in the README.TXT file located in the
QINSTALL\SERVER directory on the 3C59X
EtherDisk
diskette.
DOS ODI client drivers that support the 3Com EISA adapter
support shared interrupts. However, since there is no industry
standard to support shared interrupts, other adapters may
support them differently, or not at all. If another EISA adapter
does not support shared interrupts, contact its manufacturer
for a shared interrupt driver.
AutoLink Requirements

■
Your network operating system must be Novell NetWare 2.x,
3.1x, or 4.x.
■
Your computer must have only one Fast EtherLink EISA adapter
installed in it.
■
Your computer must be intended for use as a NetWare DOS
ODI client.
If this does not describe your network environment, refer to
the appropriate section later in this chapter.
AutoLink Installation
To use the AutoLink program to install NetWare DOS ODI client
software on a PC with a single adapter, complete the
following steps.
You can use the AUTOLINK.CFG file to modify the AutoLink
