A) Accton Support drivers for WFW 3.11
Accton provides NDIS 2.0, NDIS 3.0 and DOS/ODI drivers for Windows
for Workgroups 3.11. A description of these 3 files are as following:
Driver name Location Description
ACC311.SYS A:\WFW311 NDIS 3.0 driver in enhanced mode
ETHNE.DOS A:\NDIS2\DOS NDIS 2.0 driver in real mode
MPX2PNP.COM A:\DOS Accton's MPX2 DOS/ODI driver
B) Install NDIS 2.0/ NDIS 3.0 driver in the WFW 3.11
1. Run Windows by typing "WIN" at the DOS prompt.
2. Click the "Network" icon in the Main Program Group.
3. Click the "Network Setup" icon in the Network window.
4. Check the drivers button. If it is hidden and can't be selected, then go
to the next step. If it is visible and can be selected, go to step 8.
5. Click the Networks button
6. Select "Install Microsoft Windows Network" with no additional network.
7. Click the "OK" button
8. Select the "Drivers" item from the Network Setup dialog box.
9. Select the "Add Adapters" item in the Option dialog box.
10. When you install an Accton Adapter the first time, Select "Unlisted or
Updated Network Adapter", then go to the next step.
The system will automatically search for the OEMSETUP.INF file supported
by the adapter maker (such as Accton).
If you have installed an Accton adapter before, just select the "Accton
EN166x MPX2 driver" from the drivers list table and go to step 13.
11. Insert the Accton EN166x driver diskette in floppy drive A or B,
then type the destination drive and path name for your PC.
Make sure the full path of the directory (i.e. A:\)
is given. Then you will see the "Accton En166x MPX2 driver"
dialog box appear.
13. Use the setup button to change the IO BASE, IRQ and driver type.
Accton's EN166x MPX2 Adapter uses 300 and 3 as the default IO BASE and
IRQ setting.
There are 4 drivers types:
. Real mode and Enhanced mode NDIS
. Enhanced mode NDIS
. Real mode NDIS
. ODI driver
You can select one of these 4 drivers types depending on your
application. For workgroup environments only, you can select the
1'st driver type which combines real mode and enhanced mode NDIS.
14. Follow screen instructions to complete the process.
15. Restart your computer.
