 Microsoft and 3Com.



 =============================
 DRIVER INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
 =============================

 Use one of the following procedures to match your LAN Manager version,
 either 2.0, 2.1, or 2.2.  Then refer to the sample configuration file
 (following all three procedures) that also corresponds to your version;
 some circumstances require you to change settings in those files.

    The Microsoft LAN Manager Setup screen displays.

 2. Select "Network Drivers..." in the "Configuration" field.
    Press [ENTER] to confirm.

 3. Select "Add New Config" and press [ENTER] to display a list of
    network adapter drivers.

 4. Select "Other Driver" and press [ENTER].

    default gateway (router).  By default, the workstation number of
    the NetBIOS session is set to 6.

    See the Microsoft LAN Manager Installation Manual or see online
    help for more details

 8. The Configuration Complete message should display.

 9. Save the configuration; select "Save".

 10. Press [F3] to exit.


 All LAN Manager versions
 ------------------------

 NOTE: If you are installing LAN Manager for the first time, you will
       be prompted for the default user name and domain of the
       workstation, as well as to answer, and for other Windows
       environment and memory management information.

 You must edit the "[Accton_NIF]" section of the PROTOCOL.INI file in
 the following cases.  See the example at the end of this file.

    IF more than one Accton EN166X ISA adapter is installed, you must
       specify the interrupt (interrupt = ") and I/O base address
       ("iobase = ") for each adapter.  Use the same settings from the
       hardware configuration of each adapter; you can view the
       settings in SETUP166.

       NOTE: The ISA Plug-and-Play HW configuration of an additional
             adapter can change the configuration of an existing,
             working adapter.  Check its HW configuration again, and
             if changed, reinstall the driver.

    IF you have a non-Plug-and-Play computer, you must change the
       interrupt setting (interrupt = ") and I/O base address setting
       ("iobase = ") to match the hardware configuration for the
       adapter, as listed by SETUP166.  If you did not make a note
       of them when configured, now use the "View Configuration" menu
       item in SETUP166 to note them.
