PROTOCOL.INI Changes
Modifications to Network Configuration Files
--------------------------------------------
Networks often have configuration files to store information
on the type of hardware and software being used with the
network.
One such files is the PROTOCOL.INI.
PROTOCOL.INI is required for the NDIS network driver for
Windows for WorkGroups, LANTastic, DEC Pathworks, LAN
manager etc.
The PROTOCOL.INI file will have the text
[NE2000_NIF]
DriverName=NE2000$
Interrupt=5
Ioaddress=0x300
added to it.
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.
