This chapter describes how to install NIC software and configure
the NIC under DOS, Windows 3.1, or Windows for Workgroups.
If your PC is running Windows 95 or Windows NT, go to
Chapter 2 and Chapter 3.
Installing NetWare Drivers for DOS, Windows 3.1, and
Windows for Workgroups
This section describes how to use the AutoLink program
to install client and driver software for DOS environments
and Novell NetWare 3.1x or 4.1x under Windows 3.1 and
Windows for Workgroups.
When your system administrator configures a 3Install account
on your server, the AutoLink program logs on to the server
and updates the client software. AutoLink creates a new
AUTOEXEC.BAT file and saves the old file as AUTOEXEC.3CM.
AutoLink also creates a new CONFIG.SYS file and saves the old
file as CONFIG.3CM.
AutoLink Requirements
The AutoLink program includes an installation program. To use
the AutoLink program, your PC should have only one 3C509B NIC
installed and a minimum of 1 MB of available hard disk space.
Running the AutoLink Install Program
Follow these steps to run the installation program to configure
the NIC:
1
Install the NIC and connect it to the network, as described
in Chapter 1.
2
Reboot to DOS.
3
Insert

diskette 2
in drive A.
