DFE-650 Series Fast Ethernet PC Card User's Guide During your Installation Director run, if you choose DOS as your station OS, then in some cases Installation Director will provide additional services. In such cases, you will be prompted to select a target directory for storage of software modules that Installation Director will copy over from the D-Link DFE-650 Series Fast Ethernet PC Card Driver diskette. The README text will provide full information on the additional services provided.. Installation Director also provides access to the Diagnostic Program, which may be used to check the hardware components of the DFE-650, as well as its proper interoperation with your network. For the case that you have a Novell NetWare network environment and your notebook PC workstation is running MS-DOS (or equivalent) or Windows 3.1, then Installation Director will lead you to the appropriate installation README, and you will also find expanded installation instructions in the following subsections of this chapter. Refer to whichever instructions you find most comfortable.

You can choose to install the traditional 16-bit NetWare Client for DOS, or you can install the 32-bit NetWare Client32 for DOS. Both types of client software will provide excellent service. It is not certain whether there is a performance benefit in using the 32bit client software under DOS. But the procedure for installation of the 32-bit client software is by far more complicated. Thus you might choose to make an overview comparison of the following installation instructions for the two kinds of client software before you decide which to install. Software Installation 17
