User can use "DLKPCI.DOS" driver to replace AEXNDIS.DOS which is the NDIS driver offered by ARTISOFT. *** CONFIG.SYS **** DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANTASTI ------------------------------------------------------------- DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\AEXNDIS.DOS -------> By Lantastic * please replace to * DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\DLKPCI.DOS -------> By D-Link ------------------------------------------------------------- *** STARTNET.BAT *** ------------------------------------------------------------- C:\LANTASTI\AI-NDIS BIND_TO=AEXNDIS_NIF * please replace to * C:\LANTASTI\AI-NDIS BIND_TO=DLKPCI_NIF ------------------------------------------------------------- C:\LANTASTI\AILANBIO C:\LANTASTI\REDIR MachineName *** PROTOCOL.INI *** ------------------------------------------------------------- [AEXNDIS_NIF] DRIVERNAME = AEXNDIS$ * please replace to * [DLKPCI_NIF] DRIVERNAME = DLKPCI$ -------------------------------------------------------------- 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 must run NETBIND.EXE V1.x before AILANBIO.EXE. Lantastic 6.0 Install ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Using NDIS driver ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ To install D-Link NDIS driver "DLKPCI.DOS", user can use Lantastic 6.0 install program, and select "NDIS support for network adapters" then type path "C:\LANTASTI.DRV" (specify by D-Link install program). Install program will search "DLKPCI.DOS" and "PROTOCOL.INI" and copy these two files to target directory. If user already installed Lantastic 6.0 and want to install D-Link's PCI Family adapter, just replace AEXNDIS.DOS with D-Link's NDIS driver "DLKPCI.DOS" at CONFIG.SYS NOTE: "DLKPCI.DOS" is an NDIS driver supported by D-Link "AEXNDIS.DOS" is an NDIS driver supported by ARTISOFT *** CONFIG.SYS *** DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANTASTI ------------------------------------------------------------- DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\AEXNDIS.DOS -------> By Lantastic * please replace to * DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\DLKPCI.DOS -------> By D-Link ------------------------------------------------------------ *** 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 * please replace to * AI-NDIS BIND_TO=DLKPCI_NIF ------------------------------------------------------------ AILANBIO @STARTNET.CFG REDIR LANTA @STARTNET.CFG SERVER C:\LANTASTI.NET @STARTNET.CFG NET LOGIN \\LANTA @echo ===== End LANtastic configuration ===== *** Protocol.ini *** [NETBEUI_XIF] DriverName = netbeui$ Sessions = 6 NCBS = 12 ------------------------------------------------------------ Bindings = AEXNDIS_NIF * please replace to * Bindings = DLKPCI_NIF ------------------------------------------------------------ LANABASE = 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ [AEXNDIS_NIF] DRIVERNAME = AEXNDIS$ * please replace to * [DLKPCI_NIF] DRIVERNAME = DLKPCI$ ------------------------------------------------------------ Using ODI DOS driver ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ ODI for DOS driver, D-Link support "DLKPCI.COM" driver for PCI Family Adapter.
