               NDIS Driver for DEC PATHWORK Installation
              ===========================================

The drivers in A:\NDIS2 directory conform to the  Network Driver
Interface Specification (NDIS) defined by Microsoft/3Com.

Installation Procedure for Pathworks 5.1
-----------------------------------------
Pathworks 5.1 allows you to select one of the 3 different transport protocols
DECnet, NetBEIU and TCPIP. Each one its own entry requirements about the network
connection information. Before you install, your must get ready the network
connection information from your network administrator.
Refer to Digital Pathworks installation manual for the details.

In this installation example, TCPIP transport protocol is use.
The follow connection are required;

 -Client IP and Subnet Mask address
 -Server machine name and IP address
 -Logon name and password
 -Share resource name and password
 -Gateway IP address

1. Insert the DEC PATHWORKS Client Setup diskette #1
   into your floppy drive A

2. Type the prompt, type the following and press <Enter>
   to bring up the startup menu:

   A:>SETUP          <Enter>

3. Select `Install Kit'

   You will first select the adapter then add path to the driver.
   Select `Other' from the adapter list and enter the following;
   Driver File           : A:\NDIS2\RE100.DOS
   PROTOCOL.INI stub File: A:\NDIS2\PROTOCOL.INI
   Additional Files      : <leave blank>
   Check the option box (.) Ethernet
   Press OK.
7. The connection information you obtained from your administrator will now be

11. When prompted to "Select the network adapter:" choose
    "Other NDIS."

12. Enter the subdirectory location to driver.

      A:\NDIS2\RE100.DOS

13. When prompted, enter the subdirectory location
    of the PROTOCOL.INI file in this driver disk.

       A:\NDIS2\

14. Select "WRITE KEY DISK" to save the settings that you have
    chosen. When prompted to copy the RE100.DOS and PROTOCOL.INI
    files, insert this driver disk in drive A or B.

15. Follow screen instructions to complete the installation.
