                                   NDIS Driver 
                for LANtastic 5.0 / 6.0 / 7.0 Installation Guide
                ================================================ 


1. Installation Procedure for LANtastic 5.0
===========================================
For NDIS driver, there is the "DM9PCI.DOS" driver for the Ethernet adapter.
You can use "DM9PCI.DOS" driver to replace AEXNDIS.DOS which is the NDIS
driver offered by ARTISOFT.

   Example ----- CONFIG.SYS

     DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANTASTI
     DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\DM9PCI.DOS

   Example ----- AUTOEXEC.BAT / STARTNET.BAT

     C:\LANTASTI\AI-NDIS BIND_TO=DM9PCI_NIF
     C:\LANTASTI\AILANBIO
     C:\LANTASTI\REDIR MachineName

   Example ----- PROTOCOL.INI

     [PROTMAN]
       DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$
       DYNAMIC = YES

     [DM9PCI_NIF]
       DRIVERNAME = DM9PCI$
;       Drivername = DM9PCI$
;
;       SLOT =  1
;          This parameter specifies the slot number used for notifications.
;          For PCI slot , you can specify from 1 to 16.
;
;       MEDIA_TYPE = AUTODETECT
;       MEDIA_TYPE = FM_100M_FULL
;       MEDIA_TYPE = FM_100M_HALF
;       MEDIA_TYPE = FM_10M_FULL
;       MEDIA_TYPE = FM_10M_HALF
;       Note:
;          AUTODETECT    ; --> Auto detect the data rate and duplex mode
;          FM_100M_FULL  ; --> Forced 100M Full Duplex Mode
;          FM_100M_HALF  ; --> Forced 100M Half Duplex Mode
;          FM_10M_FULL   ; --> Forced 10M Full Duplex Mode
;          FM_10M_HALF   ; --> Forced 10M Half Duplex Mode
;
;          This parameter specifies the connector type configuration
;          (data rate and duplex mode) of the  network adapter card.

    Comments:
          If you are using PROTMAN.DOS V1.x, you must use the NO_BIND option on
          the AI-NDIS command line in the STARTNET.BAT, and you need to run
          NETBIND.EXE V1.x before AILANBIO.EXE.


2. Installation Procedure for LANtastic 6.0
===========================================
To install PRO200 NDIS driver "DM9PCI.DOS", you can use the LANtastic 6.0
install program, select "NDIS support for network adapters", insert the driver 
diskette, and type path "A:\NDIS20\DOS". The Install program will search for
"DM9PCI.DOS" and "PROTOCOL.INI" and copy these two files to the target
directory.

If you already installed LANtastic 6.0 and need to install the PCI Ethernet
Adapter, replace AEXNDIS.DOS with the NDIS driver "DM9PCI.DOS" at CONFIG.SYS
as below.

   "DM9PCI.DOS" is an NDIS driver of the adapter card.
   "AEXNDIS.DOS" is an NDIS driver which supported by ARTISOFT.

   Example ----- CONFIG.SYS

     DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANTASTI
     DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\DM9PCI.DOS

   Example ----- AUTOEXEC.BAT / STARTNET.BAT

     @echo ===== Begin LANtastic configuration =====
     SET LAN_CFG=C:\LANTASTI
     PATH C:\LANTASTI;%PATH%
     SET LAN_DIR=C:\LANTASTI.NET

     rem Please obtain the NETBEUI.EXE program from Microsoft
     NETBEUI
     AI-NDIS BIND_TO=AEXNDIS_NIF
     AILANBIO @STARTNET.CFG
     REDIR THOMAS @STARTNET.CFG

     SERVER C:\LANTASTI.NET @STARTNET.CFG
     NET LOGIN \\username
     @echo =====  End LANtastic configuration  =====

   Example ----- PROTOCOL.INI

     [PROTMAN]
      Priority=NETBEUI
      DriverName = PROTMAN$
      Dynamic = Yes

     [NETBEUI_XIF]
      DriverName = netbeui$
      Sessions = 6
      NCBS = 12
      Bindings = DM9PCI_NIF
      LANABASE = 1
    
     [DM9PCI_NIF]
      DRIVERNAME = DM9PCI$
;
;       SLOT =  1
;          This parameter specifies the slot number used for notifications.
;          For PCI slot , you can specify from 1 to 16.
;
;       MEDIA_TYPE = AUTODETECT
;       MEDIA_TYPE = FM_100M_FULL
;       MEDIA_TYPE = FM_100M_HALF
;       MEDIA_TYPE = FM_10M_FULL
;       MEDIA_TYPE = FM_10M_HALF
;       Note:
;          AUTODETECT    ; --> Auto detect the data rate and duplex mode
;          FM_100M_FULL  ; --> Forced 100M Full Duplex Mode
;          FM_100M_HALF  ; --> Forced 100M Half Duplex Mode
;          FM_10M_FULL   ; --> Forced 10M Full Duplex Mode
;          FM_10M_HALF   ; --> Forced 10M Half Duplex Mode
;          This parameter specifies the connector type configuration
;          (data rate and duplex mode) of the  network adapter card.


3. Installation Procedure for LANtastic 7.0
===========================================

 1. Run Lantastic INSTALL program to install Lantastic and prepare to answer
    questions.

 2. When prompted for choosing a network adapter card, select "NDIS Support
    for non-Artisoft adapter".

 3. Insert this diskette into drive 'A'.
 
 4. Type "A:\NDIS20\DOS" under the "Enter NDIS driver directory" dialog box.

 5. (NDIS) string will appear in "Select Adapter" dialog box, then press OK.

 6. When "Summary" screen shows up, the "Network Adapter" line should be as
    follows. 

     (NDIS) "CNet PRO200 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter..."

 7. Finish the rest installation steps.

 8. To start the network, execute the STARTNET.BAT batch file.
