=====================================
*****************************************************
* Packet Driver Program for Sun MicroSystems PC-NFS *
*****************************************************
The PC-NFS Driver Program allows you to run Sun MicroSystems PC-NFS on a
workstation with an Ethernet adapter.
The following lists the files that will be used in the installation:
Files Description
----------- ----------------------------------------------------------
PDNFS.SYS PC-NFS driver program
PEEPP.SYS Packet driver program
PEEPP.COM Packet driver program
There are two methods of installing the driver. They are described below.
METHOD 1:
1. Install the PC-NFS program according to the procedure described in the
PC-NFS manual. From the installation screen, select "3C501"
(the 3Com EtherLink adapter) as your network adapter. When prompted for
the adapter configuration, select IRQ3 and I/O base address of 300H.
2. Copy the following files into the \NFS directory of your hard disk:
PDNFS.SYS
PEEPP.SYS
PEEPP.COM
3. Modify your CONFIG.SYS file as follows:
DEVICE=C:\ANSI.SYS
DEVICE=C:\NFS\PCNFS.SYS /m
DEVICE=C:\NFS\SOCKDRV.SYS
DEVICE=C:\NFS\VECIE6.SYS
DEVICE=C:\NFS\PEEPP.SYS <packet_int_no>
DEVICE=C:\NFS\NFSVEC.SYS
DEVICE=C:\NFS\PDNFS.SYS
LASTDRIVE=V
4. Modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT file as follows:
SET PATH = C:\;C:\NFS
SET TZ=EST5EDT
SET NFSDRIVE=C
NET YPDOMAIN ypserver
NET START RDR
NET YPSET homer
NET NAME john
NET USER F: \\user\john
The name "john" here is only an example.
5. Reboot your system to start PC-NFS.
You may now execute PC-NFS commands to communicate with other stations on the
network through the TCP/IP protocol.
METHOD 2:
1. Install the PC-NFS program according to the procedure described in the
PC-NFS manual. From the installation screen, select "3C501"
(the 3Com EtherLink adapter) as your network adapter. When prompted for the
adapter configuration, select IRQ3 and I/O base address of 300H.
2. Copy the following files into the \NFS directory of your hard disk:
PDNFS.SYS
PEEPP.SYS
PEEPP.COM
3. Modify your CONFIG.SYS file as follows:
DEVICE=C:\ANSI.SYS
DEVICE=C:\NFS\PCNFS.SYS /m
DEVICE=C:\NFS\SOCKDRV.SYS
DEVICE=C:\NFS\VECIE6.SYS
DEVICE=C:\NFS\NFSVEC.SYS
DEVICE=C:\NFS\PDNFS.SYS
LASTDRIVE=V
4. Modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT file as follows:
SET PATH = C:\; C:\NFS
SET TZ=EST5EDT
SET NFSDRIVE=C
PEEPP <packet_int_no>
NET YPDOMAIN ypserver
NET START RDR
NET YPSET homer
NET NAME john
NET USER F: \\user\john
The name "john" here is only an example.
5. Reboot your system to start PC-NFS.
You may now execute PC-NFS commands to communicate with other stations on the
network through the TCP/IP protocol.
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
