A) Install Accton drivers for LANtastic 5.0
========================================
Using NDIS driver:
------------------
For NDIS, Accton provides the "ETHNE.DOS" driver for the MPX2 product
series. You can use the "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 STARTNET.BAT, and you must run
NETBIND.EXE V1.x before AILANBIO.EXE.
B) Install Accton NDIS2 drivers for LANtastic 6.0
==============================================
Using NDIS driver:
------------------
To install Accton's NDIS driver "ETHNE.DOS", you can use the LANtastic
6.0 install program, and select "NDIS support for network adapters"
then insert Accton's driver diskette, and type the path "A:\LANTASTI".
The install program will search for "ETHNE.DOS" and "PROTOCOL.INI" and copy
these two files to the target directory.
IF you have already installed LANtastic 6.0 and want to install Accton's
MPX2 adapter, just replace AEXNDIS.DOS with Accton's NDIS driver
"ETHNE.DOS" at CONFIG.SYS
"ETHNE.DOS" is the NDIS driver supported by Accton.
"AEXNDIS.DOS" is the NDIS driver 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
