Banyan Workstation Installation Notes
for Intel's EtherExpress PRO/100 ISA LAN Adapter
================================================================
Location of Driver: \NDIS\E100ISA.DOS
GENERAL INSTALLATION
--------------------
1 The EtherExpress PRO/100 ISA adapter uses an NDIS 2.0.1 driver to connect
to a Banyan server. If you have an NDIS client disk prepared, skip to
step #6.
2 To create an NDIS client disk, run PCCOPY (located on the Z drive of
the Banyan server).
3 Choose PC Configuration Software and/or LAN driver, then select NDIS
Ethernet and PCCONFIG.
4 Choose the appropriate DOS redirector. For example, REDIRALL for all
versions of DOS.
5 Specify the directory you want the client software copied to. The
default is A:\.
6 On the client you're setting up, copy the NDIS client software to a
directory on the hard drive.
7 Run Banyan's PCCONFIG program.
8 Select Network Card Settings and page down to select the NDIS Ethernet
option.
9 Specify E100ISA_NIF as the PROTOCOL.INI bindings parameter.
10 Select Login Environment Settings, then select Default Communications
Driver. Page down to select the NDIS Ethernet option.
11 Save the settings and exit PCCONFIG.
12 Modify the PROTOCOL.INI in the BAN subdirectory or other directory where
Banyan client files are located file to make sure the file contains the
lines [E100ISA_NIF] above the DRIVERNAME=E100IS$ line as shown:
[E100ISA_NIF]
DriverName=E100IS$
13 Add these lines to your CONFIG.SYS:
DEVICE=C:\BAN\protman.dos /i:C:\VINES
DEVICE=C:\BAN\e100isa.dos
14 Reboot and run BAN to attach to the Banyan server.
Hints and Tips
--------------
1 Error Message with PRO0025E:
This type of message occurs when the driver attempts to bind to the
protocol manager. It usually indicates there's a syntax or other error
in the PROTOCOL.INI file. Review the file carefully for errors. Also,
verify parameters entered in PCCONFIG. For additional information, see
NDISBAN.DOC which is part of the NDIS Banyan client software.
2 Make sure your NDISBAN.COM is dated April 1994 or later. Earlier
versions may not work properly.
