when a nic configuration is saved, the netware install program adds load and bind statements to the autoexec.ncf file. by accessing this file, you can verify the parameters configured for each nic, modify them, or enter additional parameters.

    the novell monitor program and the config command are also useful for verifying driver configuration. for information on how to use these programs, see the utilities reference in your novell netware online documentation.

    the parameters that can be defined in the load statements are described in the table in "installing novell netware server 4.2" on page 51. a valid autoexec.ncf file is shown below. one set of load and bind commands (in bold) is shown for each frame type the nic is configured to support.

    if you modify any nic parameters, you must reboot the system before the changes will take effect. if you make changes and do not reboot, you may experience configuration problems. if the driver was loaded at console, however, no reboot is necessary.
