Using Driver Parameters
 You must tell the operating system which network board or LAN driver
to unbind the communication protocol from.
 If you have multiple boards or LAN drivers, you must unbind each one
separately.
 If your server has more than one instance of the LAN driver loaded, use
one or more driver parameters to specify the particular board you are
unbinding.
 To prevent a driver from binding automatically when the server boots,
delete the following line from the AUTOEXEC.NCF file:
BIND IPX TO LAN_driver NET=number
Examples
 To unbind IPX
TM
from an NE3200
TM
driver that has been loaded only
once, type
UNBIND IPX FROM NE3200
 To unbind IPX from an NE3200 driver that has been loaded more than
once, using driver parameters to specify the particular network board,
type
UNBIND IPX FROM NE3200 [SLOT=3, FRAME=ETHERNET_II]
Additional Information
[SLOT=number] Specify the network board by the slot that it
was installed in.
Use this parameter with microchannel and
EISA computers. Use the same slot number
you did when you loaded the driver.
[NODE=number] Specify the node number of the board.
