========================================
STARTNET.BAT is a typical logging in batch file with ACCTON's driver
"ACCLAN.COM". This driver is fully compatible with NEX000.COM.
NEX000.COM is offered from ARTISOFT and can be run with all Novell's
NE2000 compatible cards. ACCLAN.COM not only does that but also
supports a much higher performance.
Example ----- AUTOEXEC.BAT / STARTNET.BAT
@ECHO OFF
SET LAN_CFG=C:\LANTASTI
PATH C:\LANTASTI;%PATH%
REM NEX000 IRQ=3 IOBASE=300 XEROX ----> by ARTISOFT
ACCLAN IRQ=3 IOBASE=300 XEROX ----> by Accton

REDIR TANG_STATION LOGINS=2

B) Install Accton drivers for LANtastic 5.0
========================================
LANtastic 5.0 can support two different drivers: NDIS driver and
LANtastic driver
i) Using LANtastic driver:
--------------------------
For LANtastic driver, Accton's support "ACCLAN.COM" driver which
is fully compatible with NEX000.COM. (NEX000.COM is offered by
ARTISOFT and can be run with all Novell's NE2000 compatible cards)
Example ----- AUTOEXEC.BAT / STARTNET.BAT
@ECHO OFF
SET LAN_CFG=C:\LANTASTI
PATH C:\LANTASTI;%PATH%
REM NEX000 IRQ=3 IOBASE=300 XEROX ----> by ARTISOFT
ACCLAN IRQ=3 IOBASE=300 XEROX ----> by Accton
AILANBIO
REDIR TANG_STATION LOGINS=2
NET LPT TIMEOUT 10
NET POSTBOX
ii) Using NDIS driver:
----------------------
For NDIS driver, Accton support "ETHNE.DOS" driver for EN165x product
series. User can use "ETHNE.DOS" driver to replace AEXNDIS.DOS which
is the NDIS driver offered by ARTISOFT.
Example ----- CONFIG.SYS
DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANTASTI
DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\ETHNE.DOS -------> By Accton
Example ----- AUTOEXEC.BAT / STARTNET.BAT
C:\LANTASTI\AI-NDIS BIND_TO=ETHNE_NIF
C:\LANTASTI\AILANBIO
C:\LANTASTI\REDIR MachineName
Example ----- PROTOCOL.INI
[PROTMAN]
DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$
DYNAMIC = YES
[ETHNE_NIF]
DRIVERNAME = ETHNE$
Comments:
If you are using PROTMAN.DOS V1.x, you must use the NO_BIND option
on the AI-NDIS command line in the STARTNET.BAT, and you must run
NETBIND.EXE V1.x before AILANBIO.EXE.
C) Install Accton drivers for LANtastic 6.0
========================================
LANtastic 6.0 can support 2 different drivers: LANtastic driver and
NDIS driver
i) Using LANtastic driver:
--------------------------
To install Accton LANtastic driver, user can use LANtastic 6.0
install program, and select "NE2000 16 bit ISA bus or compatible"
or "Other LANtastic compatible adapter" item, then change NE2000
driver "NEX000.COM" to Accton's LANtastic driver "ACCLAN.COM" or
add "ACCLAN.COM" before AILANBIO in startnet.bat.
IF user already install LANtastic 6.0 and want to install Accton's
EN165x adapter, just replace NEX000.COM with Accton's LANtastic
drive "ACCLAN.COM" in startnet.bat.
"ACCLAN.COM" is LANtastic driver which supported by Accton
"NEX000.COM" is LANtastic NE2000 driver which supported by ARTISOFT
Example ----- AUTOEXEC.BAT / STARTNET.BAT
@echo ===== Begin LANtastic configuration =====
SET LAN_CFG=C:\LANTASTI
PATH C:\LANTASTI;%PATH%
SET LAN_DIR=C:\LANTASTI.NET
REM NEX000 16-BIT IRQ=3 IOBASE=300 ----> by ARTISOFT
ACCLAN 16-BIT IRQ=3 IOBASE=300 ----> by Accton
AILANBIO @STARTNET.CFG
REDIR THOMAS @STARTNET.CFG
SERVER C:\LANTASTI.NET @STARTNET.CFG
NET LOGIN \\THOMAS
@echo ===== End LANtastic configuration =====
ii) Using NDIS driver:
----------------------
To install Accton NDIS driver "ETHNE.DOS", user can use LANtastic
6.0 install program, and select "NDIS support for network adapters"
then insert Accton's driver diskette, and type path "A:\LANTASTI".
Install program will search "ETHNE.DOS" and "PROTOCOL.INI" and copy
these two files to target directory.
IF user already install LANtastic 6.0 and want to install Accton's
EN165x adapter, just replace AEXNDIS.DOS with Accton's NDIS driver
"ETHNE.DOS" at CONFIG.SYS
"ETHNE.DOS" is NDIS driver which supported by Accton
"AEXNDIS.DOS" is NDIS driver which supported by ARTISOFT
Example ----- CONFIG.SYS
DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANTASTI
DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\ETHNE.DOS -------> By Accton
Example ----- AUTOEXEC.BAT / STARTNET.BAT
@echo ===== Begin LANtastic configuration =====
SET LAN_CFG=C:\LANTASTI
PATH C:\LANTASTI;%PATH%
SET LAN_DIR=C:\LANTASTI.NET
rem Please obtain the NETBEUI.EXE program from Microsoft

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.
