Here's the link for NW6 (I believe it will work for NW6.5, as well):

for Pentium II and III models, I believe it's the top driver (Compaq) for the onboard NIC.

Make a great day!

Mark:

The NC**** NICs (I believe) are all PCI NICs. The onboard NIC doesn't have a NC**** designation, to my knowledge.

I believe you didn't install the download correctly. Here are the directions:

"Installation




Download the Smart Component to a directory on your hard drive. Copy the Smart Component to a directory on your NetWare server. The downloaded file is a self-extracting NLM with a filename based on the Smart Component Number.

From the volume and directory where the Smart Component was copied, run the downloaded file from the System Console. Press the key to proceed with the installation. The contents of the Smart Component will automatically be installed on the server."

I'm a bit rusty on my Netware but I believe you need to issue a LOAD CP003754.NLM from the console. This will extract the files (and, I assume, put them where they belong). I assume there are existing MSM and ETHERTSM commands in the bootup files which will use the new files when you reboot next. Alternatively, I suppose you could avoid a reboot by manually unloading the appropriate files and reloading them to get the new ones into memory. Then load the NIC file.

i havn't got netware installed yet, i am currently undergoing the installation although i cannot proceed untill i install at least1 network card (the embedded one) it was not automaticaly detected so a .LAN file is required

[Roger Faucher · Accepted solution]

Mark:

Try this download. It can be extracted in DOS or Windows and there is access to the actual .lan file(s):

hi i installed a different card into the machine a compaq 10/100 TX pci card in slot 3 this was detected in the N100 driver (i think) and installation went ahead ok

it worked for about 1/2 an hour after installation and then it just started to go crazy with network utilisation rising past 40 % and was collising with every packet sent (any ideas )

i have managed to load the onboard one on today using the NLM packet on a pci port of 10006

Hi Mark,

For what it's worth you can actually open the NLM bundle from Windows which Roger pointed to in his first reply.

http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/18742.html

Copy the file to your system and open it using Winzip. You can then extract the individual files, including the CPQNF3.LAN file you need. The whole kit will fit on one floppy disk.

I hope this helps.

Brian
