ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
The following is how to install Lan Server and Comm. Manager. Due to
Lan Server 4.x popularity it's documentation appears first.
Installing the NDIS driver for IBM LAN SERVER 4.0
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
In the OS/2 Desktop group, double-click on the MPTS icon.
Click on the <Configure> button.
Select the "LAN adapters and protocols" option.
Click on the <Configure> button.
Select the "Other adapters ..." option.
Insert the driver diskette in Drive A or B and type the driver path:
A:\<PATH>\ Where PATH is the driver directory.
Click on the <OK> button.
Select "PLANET ENW-3500-2T PCMCIA Ethernet Adapter", and then click
on the Add button.
Select "IBM OS/2 NETBIOS", and then click on the Add button.
Select "IBM IEEE 802.2", and then click on the Add button.
Click OK.
Click Close.
Click Exit.
Reboot your system.
Installing the NDIS driver for IBM LAN SERVER 3.0
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
Install IBM OS/2 into your system, if not yet installed.
Insert the NTS/2 Adapter & Protocol Support Disk in Drive A.
Execute the LAPs program.
Select "Install", and then specify the target drive.
Select "Install" again and insert your driver diskette in Drive A.
Select "Configure".
Select "ENW-3500-2T PCMCIA Ethernet Card", and then click on the Add
button.
Select "IBM OS/2 NETBIOS", and then click on the Add button.
Select "IEEE 802.2", and then click on the Add button.
Click OK.
Click Exit.
Click Continue.
Reboot your system.
Your CONFIG.SYS and PROTOCOL.INI files should reflect your card setup:
\CONFIG.SYS
===========
:
Device=d:\IBMCOM\MACS\ENW35.OS2
:
\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL.INI
====================
:
[ENW35IBM_NIF]
Drivername = ENW35$
Install the LAN Server or Requester program. For information,
please refer to your IBM LAN Server "Planning and Installation" manual.
Installing the NDIS driver for IBM LAN SERVER 2.0
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
Assuming that OS/2 2.0 is correctly installed and working properly,
install the LAN SERVER. At this point, no network adapters must be
installed in the computer.
Install LAN SERVER according to the IBM installation procedure. When
prompted for the adapter, select any of the adapters LAN SERVER
supports. For example, "Western Digital EtherCard PLUS ...". Then,
continue with the LAN SERVER installation.
After successfully installing LAN SERVER, shut down OS/2 for system
configuration. Do not install any network adapters yet. The OS/2
system will boot up and bring up the LAN SERVER services. The system
will then display error messages since the network adapter you
selected is not installed. Ignore these messages and continue with
the OS/2 booting procedure.
Insert the driver diskette in Drive A and copy the following files:
COPY ENW35.OS2 to C:\IBMCOM\MACS
COPY ENW35IBM.NIF to C:\IBMCOM\MACS\ENW35IBM.NIF
In the OS/2 Desktop group, run the OS/2 system editor. You need
to modify the following files:
C:\CONFIG.SYS
C:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL.INI
CONFIG.SYS Modifications:
DEVICE=C:\IBMCOM\MACS\MACWD.OS2
to
DEVICE=C:\IBMCOM\MACS\ENW35.OS2
PROTOCOL.INI Modifications:
- Under the [IBMLXCFG] section, add the following line:
ENW35IBM_nif = enw35ibm.nif
- Under the [NETBEUI_nif] section, change the following line:
Bindings = MACWDMC_nif
to
Bindings = ENW35IBM_nif
- Under the MAC SECTION definitions, add the following section:
[ENW35IBM_nif]
DriverName = ENW35$
After modifying the two files above, shut down OS/2, and turn the
computer off.
Install the ENW-3500-2T.
Turn on the system to start OS/2.
After starting OS/2, LAN SERVER services can now successfully start
without causing any errors.
Installing the NDIS driver for IBM LAN SERVER 2.0
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
Install IBM Communication Manager
Copy the enw35.os2 and ENW35IBM.NIF files in the driver diskette
to the C:\IBMCOM\MACS directory
Select the ENW-3500-2T adapter
Choose the appropriate protocols
Check that the CONFIG.SYS file includes the following line:
DEVICE = C:\IBMCOM\MACS\ENW35.OS2
Shut down your OS/2 system, and then reboot your PC
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.
