Files Contents
-------- --------------------------------------------
PCNFSIF.SYS PC-NFS Software Interface Program
NE2PD.COM ACCTON Packet Driver for EN1622/23
The steps to install the program are as follows:
1. Start the installation process by following the procedure
described in the PC-NFS Manual for installing the Sun Microsystems
PC-NFS program in your PC's hard disk. When asked to identify
the type of network interface card you are using, select "WD8003"
from the list. Likewise, when asked for the interrupt level
and the base I/O address select:
Interrupt Level (IRQ) 3
I/O Base Address 300h
2. Copy the following files to the \NFS directory of your hard
disk:
PCNFSIF.SYS
NE2PD.COM
3. Modify the CONFIG.SYS file to include the following:
DEVICE=C:\ANSI.SYS
DEVICE=C:\NFS\PCNFS.SYS
DEVICE=C:\NFS\SOCKDRV.SYS
DEVICE=C:\NFS\PCNFSIF.SYS
LASTDRIVE=V
4. Create or modify an existing AUTOEXEC.BAT file to include
the following:
C:\NFS\NE2PD 98
SET PATH = C:\; C:\NFS
SET TZ=CST6
SET NFSDRIVE=C
PRT *
NFSRUN
For your system to work properly, make sure that the
C:\NFS\NE2PD 98 command line is placed before the NFSRUN
command line. For more information on the NE2PD.COM program,
refer to the READ.ME file of the ACCTON Packet Driver for
the EtherPair-NE2 and the EtherCoax-NE2 adapters.
Allowable values for the software interrupt vector range from
96 to 128. The default software interrupt vector value is 98.
5. Reboot the PC and start the PC-NFS program. You may now run
PC-NFS commands on your PC to allow communication with other
computers on the network that use the TCP/IP protocol.
