5 LAN Server
v1.1
LAN Server installation notes for Compaq 10 and 10/100
Controllers and the NC3121 Fast Ethernet NIC
======================================================
Location of files: \NDIS\N100.OS2 (OS/2* driver)
\NDIS\N100EO2.NIF
or
\NDIS\DOS\N100.DOS (DOS driver)
\NDIS\DOS\N100EDS.NIF (DLR and LSP installation file)
NOTE: LAN Requester needs DOS 3.3 through 5, but if you're using DOS 6.0
or higher, run SETVER.EXE prior to using the executable files
found on the DOS LAN Requester disks. See your DOS manual if
you need help with SETVER.EXE.
Sample configuration file
-------------------------
PROTOCOL.INI (will include):
[N100_NIF]
DriverName = N100$
General installation - LAN Server and OS/2 Requester (4.0 or 3.0)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
1 Run the MPTS utility with LAN Server 4.0 or OS/2 Requester 4.0 (Run
the LAPS utility with LAN Server 3.0 or OS/2 Requester 3.0)
2 Click Install.
3 When prompted, insert the Compaq Configuration and Drivers disk in a
floppy drive, specify A:\NDIS for driver location, and click OK.
4 When Install reads the N100EO2.NIF, installation is complete. Click
OK. The controller driver has been copied to your system.
5 Click Configure from the MPTS window.
6 At the Configure window, make sure the LAN controllers and protocols
button is on and click CONFIGURE.
7 At the LAPS Configuration window, select the Compaq 10 and 10/100
controllers (OS/2 driver: N100.OS2) from the Network Controllers
window.
Click Add in the Network Adapters window to add the 10 and 10/100 PCI
controllers to the current configuration.
8 Select your desired Protocol(s) from the Protocol window and click Add
from this window to add the protocol(s) to the current configuration.
9 Click OK when you're done and follow the prompts to exit MPTS. Your
CONFIG.SYS is automatically updated.
Shutdown and reset your system so the changes can take effect.
General installation under DOS (DOS LAN Services)
=================================================
NOTE: Due to a problem with the DLS installation utility, you need to
complete the following steps before executing the installation of
DLS:
1 On DLS Diskette 1, make a directory off the root called NDIS.
2 Copy the file N100.DOS (from the \NDIS\DOS directory of the Compaq
Configuration and Drivers) into this new directory \NDIS on DLS
Diskette 1.
1 Run the DOS LAN Services installation program at the DOS workstation.
Follow the prompts.
2 When presented with an controller list, select Network card not shown in
list below.
3 When prompted for the location of the OEMSETUP.INF file, insert the
Compaq Configuration and Drivers disk in your drive and enter A:\NDIS\DOS
as the path.
4 Select a Compaq 10 or 10/100 controller from the list. Follow
the prompts.
5 Enter your machine name, username and domain name.
6 Set the options as you need; then highlight "The listed options are
correct" and press Enter.
7 Accept the defaults on the next screen, highlight "The listed options
are correct" and press Enter.
8 Set the Speed, Duplex mode, or Slot Device if needed. We recommend
accepting the defaults. Then highlight "The listed options are
correct" and press Enter.
9 You may be asked to insert DLS disks. Follow the prompts to complete
the installation and restart your computer for changes to take effect.
General Installation under DOS: LAN Support Program (LSP)
=========================================================
1 Run DXMAID from the LAN Support Program disk.
2 Follow the prompts and instructions.
3 When prompted, insert the Compaq Configuration and Drivers disk and
enter the pathname A:\NDIS\DOS.
4 The default configuration is suitable for most environments. We
recommend accepting the defaults.
5 After the installation is complete, restart your computer for the
changes to take affect.
General Installation under DOS (DOS LAN Requester)
==================================================
1 Run the DOS LAN Requester installation program at the DOS workstation.
Follow the prompts to configure your DOS LAN Requester as you require.
2 After the installation is complete, restart your computer for the
changes to take affect.
Advanced settings
=================
SPEED: (Compaq 10/100 controller or NC3121 Fast Ethernet NIC only)
(optional; parameters are [Auto / 10 / 100]) The parameter
disables Auto-Speed Detect and causes the controller to function at
the speed indicated. If the FORCEDUPLEX parameter is assigned to
either 1 or 2, the SPEED parameter is required because auto-speed
sensing is disabled if the duplex mode is forced. Auto-negotiate
devices cannot detect speed changes in this configuration until the
driver is reloaded.[Example: SPEED=100]
FORCEDUPLEX:
Compaq 10/100 controller or NC3121 Fast Ethernet NIC: Supports auto-
negotiate, full and half duplex at 10 or 100 Mbps.
Compaq 10 controller: full or half duplex at 10 Mbps.
This parameter disables Auto-Negotiate capability and forces the
controller to operate in Half or Full Duplex mode. The SPEED parameter
must be specified and must be valid if the default of Auto-
negotiate is changed. Options for FORCEDUPLEX are Auto (for auto-
negotiate), 1 (for half), 2 (for full). [Example: FORCEDUPLEX = 2]
SLOT: (required for multiple controllers) This parameter is optional if
only one controller is present. If it is specified but is incorrect,
a message indicates that the value doesn't match the configuration
but the driver finds the controller and loads anyway.
This parameter is required if more than one controller is present in
either one bus or multiple PCI buses of a system. The parameter
tells the driver which controller it controls. The SLOT number is the
encoded value of the PCI controller's device location. To determine
the slot number, load the driver with only the DRIVERNAME parameter
specified. The driver reports all the slots that have PCI
controller(s) installed. You can determine which card is in which slot
by using SETUP.EXE and matching the Ethernet addresses of the
controller to the device number specified in View Configuration.
[Example: SLOT=0x1C]

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.
