      3Com NDIS 2.01 driver installation notes for IBM LAN Server


 This EtherDisk diskette contains Ethernet driver import files for
 IBM LAN Server.

 IBM LAN Server 3.0

   IBM LAN Server 3.0 contains an installer for both OS/2 (LAPS) and DOS
   (DXMAID).  Both of these installation utilities fully support OEM 
   network adapter driver import capability.

 DOS Installation

   Run the DXMAID installer from the IBM LAN Support diskette.  Use the
   defaults from the first menu.  The second menu prompts you to enter 
   the drive and path for the import diskette.  Remove the LAN Support 
   diskette, put the 3Com EtherDisk diskette in the drive, and type 
   A:\NDIS\DOS for the drive and path.  The installer will pause after 
   it copies the files needed from the EtherDisk diskette.  Place the LAN 
   Support diskette back in the drive, and continue the installation.

 OS/2 Installation

   Run the LAPS installer from the LAN Adapter and Protocol diskette.  
   From the second menu, select the Install option.  LAPS then installs 
   itself and other files, and returns to the second menu.  Select 
   Install again.  On the next menu, LAPS prompts for a drive and path 
   for installation.  Remove the LAPS diskette and insert the EtherDisk 
   diskette in the drive.  Type A:\NDIS\OS2 for the drive and path.  
   LAPS will copy the needed files from the EtherDisk diskette.  When 
   the acknowledge message appears at the end of the copy, reinsert the 
   LAPS diskette and continue with 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, the user is required to edit files.  For OS/2, the E editor is 
   fine.  For DOS, use either EDLIN or EDIT.

 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 EtherLink III NDIS driver to the hard disk.  Type:

      COPY A:\NDIS\DOS\ELNK3.DOS C:\LANMAN

   2. 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 = \LANMAN\ELNK3.DOS

      c. Save the file and exit the editor.

   3. Enter the LANMAN subdirectory.  Type:

      CD LANMAN

   4. Rename the PROTOCOL.INI file to save it.  Type:

      REN PROTOCOL.INI PROTOCOL.OLD

   5. Append the PROTOCOL.INI fragment from the 3Com EtherDisk diskette.  
      Type:

      COPY PROTOCOL.OLD + A:\NDIS\DOS\PROTOCOL.INI  PROTOCOL.INI

   6. Edit the new PROTOCOL.INI file.

      a. Four lines after the line [ETHERNET], change the line:

         Bindings = IBMAC

         to

         Bindings = ELNK3

      b. Two lines before the line:

         ;3C509 3Com EtherLink III adapter

         change the blank line to

         [ELNK3]

      c. Save the file and exit the editor.

   The installation is complete.  The LAN Support program activates the 
   next time the machine boots.

 OS/2 Installation

   1. Insert the IBM OS/2 Requester Diskette #1 and run the LAPS 
      installation program.  Select Advanced Installation on the second 
      menu.

   2. Insert the OS/2 Protocol and Drivers diskette when the prompt 
      appears.  After LAPS has completed copying the files from the 
      Protocol and Drivers diskette, select the Copy Additional Drivers 
      option from the next menu.
      The next menu prompts for the drive and path for the additional 
      drivers.

   3. Insert the EtherDisk diskette and type A:\NDIS\OS2.  LAPS copies 
      the appropriate 3Com adapter files to the hard disk and returns to
      the options menu.

   4. Select the Configure Workstation option.  The next menu prompts for
      adapter and protocol options.  In the adapters window, page down 
      until the 3Com EtherLink Family OS/2 menu item appears.  Select this 
      item and continue the installation.  When the installation is 
      complete, exit the installer.

   The installer presents a message that the system needs to be rebooted 
   for the changes to take effect.  However, you must complete the 
   following steps before you reboot the computer.

   1.  Edit the CONFIG.SYS file.  After the line:

       device=C:\IBMCOM\PROTMAN.OS2

       insert the line:

       device=C:\IBMCOM\MACS\ELNK3.OS2

   2.  Save the file and exit the editor.

   3.  Reboot the computer, and the OS/2 requester will activate.
