## Tips (Client32 for DOS)

- Avoid the following message when loading the driver:
  "Do you want to load another frame type for a previously loaded board? Y/N "
  add the slot number to the LOAD line in STARTNET.BAT. By default it is located in the \NOVELL\CLIENT32 directory.

  When you reboot, you will be prompted with the correct value. Modify the STARTNET.BAT again, and use that value. If the slot is not specified correctly, only the first frame type loads. The Speed, Forceduplex and Iomapmode parameters take their default values when they are not specified.

- CONFIG.SYS must contain the LASTDRIVE=Z statement.

- NET.CFG must contain FIRST NETWORK DRIVE = F indented under the NetWare DOS Requester section

- Verify that the PRO/100 or PRO/1000 adapter passes the diagnostics test by running the DIAGS.EXE diagnostics program found on the root of the CD. If the adapter fails diagnostics it will not function correctly running Client32.

- Using the 32-bit .LAN driver with Client32 requires CLIENT32.NLM dated 10/09/96 or later. The driver does not load with older versions.

- If you encounter the error message:
  "An attempt to load CE100B.LAN failed because the module references an undefined external: MSMHardwareFailure", you need to update the NetWare client files. Download ODI33x.EXE (where x=latest revision number) from Novell's electronic services and run the update utility.
