Old network adapter drivers are a common source of communication problems. You should ensure that you have the latest version of the NDIS or ODI driver for your network adapter, as appropriate. You should be able to obtain current network adapter drivers from the manufacturer or supplier of the adapter card.
Network adapter manufacturers and suppliers make the latest versions of drivers for their cards available. Most card manufacturers have a Web site from which you can download the latest versions of NDIS and ODI drivers.
You may also be able to obtain a current network adapter driver from the provider of your networking software.
When you download Novell client software, ODI drivers for some network adapters are included in addition to the Novell software that is used for all network adapters.
