		  DLLEWRK3 Native PathWORKS driver V5.0.25
		  ========================================

This README is for the PathWORKS native datalink driver called DLLEWRK3.EXE 
which is used for the EtherWORKS 3 products.  DLLEWRK3 can only be used with 
the EtherWORKS 3 products (DE203, DE204, DE205). It cannot be used with the 
older EtherWORKS products (DE100, DE101, DE200, DE201, DE202, DE210, DE212, 
DE422).  DLLEWRK3.EXE also requires PathWORKS V4.1 or later. Earlier versions 
of PathWORKS are not supported.

     NOTE:  Unlike the Native Data Link Driver for earlier EtherWORKS 
	    products, DLLEWRK3 does not require command line switches.
	    If you need to alter the adapters configuration parameters,
	    please execute the NICSETUP utility included on this 
	    distribution disk.  When the DLLEWRK3 driver is invoked it
	    will automatically read the adapter's internal settings. 

     NOTE:  PathWORKS also supports the NDIS2 protocol.  If you prefer to
	    load an NDIS2 driver, see the README.TXT in the /NDIS2 directory.

				USER NOTES
				----------

1.) DLLEWRK3.EXE requires PathWORKS V4.1 or greater. 

2.) Running DLLEWRK3.EXE requires that the EtherWORKS 3 module be configured
    for 32K or 64K mode.  Use NICSETUP to change the configuration of the 
    EtherWORKS 3 module from 2K mode (default) to 32K or 64K mode.

3.) DLLEWRK3.EXE requires DNNETH.EXE to be V4.1.142 or greater(users with 
    previous versions of DNNETH.EXE will experience hangs when connecting 
    to network drives).

4.) If executing programs remotely on a LAD drive. LAD.EXE V4.1.8 or greater 
    is required.

5.) Connecting to a PC that is running PERMIT requires the DECnet address of
    the PC running PERMIT to be defined with MS-NET on the PC that is 
    attempting to establish a connection. Use the NCP program to define the
    MS-NET parameter.

6.) If using an Extended Memory Manager make sure that the EtherWORKS 3 
    memory range is excluded. (e.g. x=D000-D7FF).

7.) PathWORKS users can automate the native datalink driver installation by 
    running NETSETUP.  Choose "EtherWORKS Native Datalink" as the Ethernet 
    Adapter type.  After NETSETUP finishes, change the following line in 
    STARTNET.BAT: 

			  %BOOT%\decnet\dlldepca.exe        
				       to
			  %BOOT%\decnet\dllewrk3.exe  


    Once this change is complete copy the DLLEWRK3.EXE driver from the
    \PATHWRKS directory of this diskette to the \DECNET directory 
    on your hard drive.

8.) When running multiple protocols (LAT, LAD, etc.) with the native datalink 
    driver, make sure DECnet (DNNETH.EXE) is always installed first.

How To Update Drivers Manually

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.
