NDC SOHOware PCMCIA/ND51XX Adapter
NDIS Driver for IBM OS/2 LAN Server DOS Requester Installation
==============================================================

PRE-INSTALLATION

     Before installing the NOS or network applications, you should first
     run NDCONF1 to configure and diagnose the SOHOware PCMCIA adapter(s).
     We recommend you to select "Update CONFIG.SYS" in the "Configuration
     Menu" before exiting NDCONF1.


INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1)   At the DOS prompt, insert the IBM LAN Support Program (LSP)
     Version 1.30 (or later) diskette.

2)   Type: DXMAID

3)   Press the Enter key three times.

          The Environment Information screen appears.

4)   Specify the following values for the fields on this screen:

          Configuration for this computer?                Yes
          Use existing configuration information?         No
          Do you have adapter option diskettes?           Yes
          Are you configuring for two adapters?           No

          Source for LSP                                  A:\
          Target for new configuration                    C:\lsp

5)   Press Enter to store your choices.

          The program prompts you to install the option diskette.

6)   Insert the NDC Setup diskette in your source drive and specify
     the path: A:\NDIS.

7)   Press Enter.

          The necessary files are copied from the NDC Setup
          diskette to your target directory on your computer's hard
          disk.

8)   Press Enter three times.

9)   Insert the LSP diskette and press Enter.

          The Current Configuration screen appears with the NE2000
          Ethernet adapter and protocols already selected ("IBM
          IEEE 802.2" and "IBM OS/2 NETBIOS").


10)  Press F4. LSP is installed.

11)  Use any text editor to edit the CONFIG.SYS file. Specify at
     least 20 files in the FILES= line; for example:

          files=20

     Edit PROTOCOL.INI in C:\LSP to set the values of "INTERRUPT"
     and "IOBASE" in [NE2000_NIF] to match what you specified by
     NDCONF1.

     Once you save your CONFIG.SYS and PROTOCOL.INI files, reset
     your computer.

12)  Insert the DOS LAN Requester Install Diskette.

13)  Type: INSTALL

14)  Press Enter three times.

          The program prompts you for the pathname of the DOS LAN
          Requester directory.

15)  Specify the pathname for the DOS LAN Requester directory
     (C:\DOSLAN is the default). Press Enter.

          The program asks which services you require.

16)  Highlight either the "Send messages" or "Send, View, Edit, and
     Log messages" option. (Normally, you select the second
     option.)

17)  Press Enter to confirm your choice.

18)  Specify the workstation's ID and the domain ID. The domain ID
     must be the domain server ID and must be the same for all
     workstations on the network.

19)  Follow the screen prompts to complete the installation.
