ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
The MS LAN Manager provides a SETUP.EXE program in the setup diskette
for specifying a driver for the Ethernet adapter.
To install a driver for DOS, follow these steps:
If you are installing LAN Manager for the first time, answer "Yes"
when prompted for the importation of additional network drivers.
This prompt appears right after completion of the workstation
installation.
If LAN Manager is already installed in your hard disk, select "Add
New Config" from the Configuration menu. Then, select "Other Driver".
Insert the driver diskette in Drive A and follow the instructions on
the screen. The SETUP program will copy the necessary NDIS driver
programs from the driver diskette into your hard disk; that is, into
the LAN Manager directory.
After completion of SETUP, your CONFIG.SYS file will be modified to
reflect the NDIS driver programs.
Reboot your system to affect the changes.
To install a driver for OS2, follow these steps:
If you are installing LAN Manager for the first time, answer "Yes"
when prompted for the importation of additional network drivers.
This prompt appears right after completion of the workstation
installation.
If LAN Manager is already installed on your hard disk, select
"Add New Config" from the Configuration menu. Then, select
"Other Driver".
Insert the driver diskette in Drive A and follow the instructions
on the screen. The SETUP program will copy the necessary NDIS driver
programs from the driver diskette into your hard disk.
After completion of SETUP, your CONFIG.SYS file will be modified to
reflect the NDIS driver programs.
Reboot your system to affect the changes.
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.
