Introduction:
=============
The Ethernet NDIS2 Driver for Lan Requester DOS workstations confirms to the
Network Driver Interface Specification(NDIS2). This document shows you how
to setup the driver and how to use the enhanced functions by setting the
custom keywords in configuration file.
Files needed for installing Lan Server 4.0
==========================================
PNPND.DOS The NDIS2 driver for Lan Requester DOS workstations.
OEMSETUP.INF The installation information file.
Installation:
=============
Before starting with the installation process, make sure that the adapter
is properly installed and configured. You can use the diagnostic program
(A:\SETUP.EXE) to make sure your connection with the network is correct.
Installing driver procedure on DOS LAN Requester :
-------------------------------------------------
1) Install DOS Lan Requester to HardDisk with " NO Network Adapter
Selected" option.
2) Copy PNPND.DOS from your Driver diskette to DOS LAN Services
subdirectory, like C:\NET .
3) Under DOS LAN Requester subdirectory C:\NET, run INSTALL
4) Move highlight to "The listed options are correct" item,then press
ENTER.
5) Move highlight to "Network Card", then press ENTER.
6) Select "Change driver for network card." item, then press ENTER.
7) Select "Network card not shown in list below..", then press ENTER.
8) Insert the PNP Ethernet driver diskette in floppy A,and specify the
pathname A:\NDIS2,then press ENTER.
9) PNP Ethernet NDIS2 driver is now installed on your computer, reboot
your computer.
NOTE:
-----
Multiple Lan Adapters in a system:
If you want to install mutiple Lan adapter in your system, you have to
use the keyword, PNPID, in PROTOCOL.INI file to let driver locate the
right adapter. And you have to set DriverName to be PNPND$ and PNPND2$
to distinguish from adapter 1 and adapter 2. You can run A:\SETUP.EXE
under DOS prompt to show all the Ethernet addresses of your adapters.
Configuration Files:
====================
Sample of configuration file:

Custom Keywords:
----------------
PNPID = hhhhhhhhhhhh This keyword is the Ethernet Address of
the adapter you want to drive. If there
are more than one ethernet adapters in
your system , you have to use this
keyword to let driver locate the right
adapter. However, you don't have to use
this keyword or let the value to be
zero (i.e. PNPID = 0) if there is only
one adapter in your system.
EARLYTRANSMIT This keyword is used to enable turbo
transmission mode for accelerating data
transmission.
EARLYRECEIVE This keyword is used to enable turbo
receiption mode for accelerating data
receiption.
FULLDUPLEX This keyword is used to enable full
duplex mode.
Note:For ISA PnP mode,the IOBASE and INTERRUPT keywords are ignored
in your PROTOCOL.INI file.
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.
