This article provides instructions on how to install the Novell ODINSUP
(ODI/NDIS) driver to work with Microsoft Network Client for MS-DOS version
3.0 (included on the Windows NT Server version 3.5 CD). This article
discusses and displays the following using the Intel Etherexpress 16 TP
network card as an example:
- Network Client and ODINSUP Setup Instructions
- Example PROTOCOL.INI
- Example SYSTEM.INI
- Example AUTOEXEC.BAT
- Example CONFIG.SYS
- Example NET.CFG

Network Client and ODINSUP Setup Instructions
Since this configuration requires the Novell IPXODI driver, make sure you
can connect to a NetWare server using the IPXODI driver and VLM.
- From the CLIENTS\MSCLIENT\DISKS subdirectory of the Windows NT
Server version 3.5 CD, copy the contents of DISK1 and DISK2 to
blank floppy disks (labeling the disks Disk 1 and Disk 2).
- From Disk 1, run SETUP and press ENTER to set up Network Client.
- Specify the location of the Network Client installation and press ENTER.
- For adapter driver, select the ODI/NDIS support driver.
- Enter the user name. In the next screen, verify and change the
computer name, workgroup name and domain name, if necessary.
- Change the setup options, if necessary. This screen enables
you to change your redirector, startup, logon and network pop-up
options.
- Choose change network configuration and highlight the NWLink
IPX Compatible Transport. Choose Change Settings and verify the
frame type.
- After the configuration for Network Client is complete, insert the
disk with Novell's ODINSUP.COM (when requested).
- When Setup is complete, restart the computer.
Example PROTOCOL.INI
Check all bindings to make sure that the ODI MLID driver is being used.
