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.


 * 1) 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).
 * 2) From Disk 1, run SETUP and press ENTER to set up Network Client.
 * 3) Specify the location of the Network Client installation and press ENTER.
 * 4) For adapter driver, select the ODI/NDIS support driver.
 * 5) Enter the user name. In the next screen, verify and change the computer name, workgroup name and domain name, if necessary.
 * 6) Change the setup options, if necessary. This screen enables you to change your redirector, startup, logon and network pop-up options.
 * 7) Choose change network configuration and highlight the NWLink IPX Compatible Transport. Choose Change Settings and verify the frame type.


 * 1) After the configuration for Network Client is complete, insert the disk with Novell's ODINSUP.COM (when requested).
 * 2) When Setup is complete, restart the computer.
