The LAN Installation Disk 2 also contains Ethernet driver import
files for IBM LAN Server 3.0 and 2.0.
IBM LAN Server 3.0
------------------
IBM LAN Server 3.0 contains an installer DOS (DXMAID). The
installation utility fully supports the OEM network adapter
driver import capability. The following section describes how
to install the driver for DOS.
DOS Installation
----------------
Run the DXMAID installer from the IBM LAN Support diskette.
Use the defaults from the first menu. The Process Adapter
Option Diskette box prompts you to enter the drive and path
for the option diskette. Remove the LAN Support Program
Installation diskette, put the 3Com LAN Installation Disk 2
diskette in the drive, and type A:\NDIS2 for the drive and path.
The installer will pause after it copies the files needed from
the LAN Installation Disk 2 diskette. Place the LAN Support
diskette back in the drive, and continue the installation.
IBM LAN Server 2.0
------------------
LAN Server 2.0 is not as sophisticated as LAN Server 3.0.
Installation can be done successfully, but manual intervention
is required. In all cases, you are required to edit files.
DOS Installation
----------------
Run the DXMAID installer from the LAN Support diskette. Specify
the Ethernet adapter installation from the menu. When DXMAID is
completed, do the following to complete the installation.
1. Copy the NDIS driver to the hard disk. Insert the
LAN Installation Disk 2 into the A: drive, then type:
COPY A:\NDIS2\ELPC3.DOS C:\LANMAN
2. Enter the LANMAN subdirectory of your hard disk. Type:
CD LANMAN
3. Rename the current PROTOCOL.INI file to save it. Type:
REN PROTOCOL.INI PROTOCOL.OLD
4. Append the PROTOCOL.INI fragment from the 3Com LAN Installation
Disk 2. Type:
COPY PROTOCOL.OLD + A:\NDIS2\PROTOCOL.INI PROTOCOL.INI
5. Edit the new PROTOCOL.INI file.
a. Four lines after the line [ETHERNET], change the line:
Bindings = IBMAC
to
Bindings = ELPC3
b. Two lines before the
line:
;3C589 3Com EtherLink/PCMCIA adapter
change the blank line to
[ELPC3]
c. Save the file and exit the editor.
6. Return to the root directory of your hard disk. Type:
CD \
7. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file.
a. Change the line:
device = \LANMAN\PROTMAN.DOS
to
device = \LANMAN\PROTMAN.DOS /I:\LANMAN
b. Change the line:
device = XX.DOS
to
device = \LANSRV\ELPC3.DOS
c. Save the file and exit the editor.
The installation is complete. The LAN Support program activates
the next time the machine boots.
