1. Introduction

   This Ethernet NDIS driver for DOS is intended to bring additional driver
   support to Microsoft LAN Manager 2.0 for DOS workstations.  You can use
   the LAN Manager setup utility, SETUP, to import new drivers, so that the
   network may be configured with the new drivers.


2. Directory Structure and Contents

   The following directory structure on the installation diskette is to meet
   the LAN Manager requirement.

        \ <ROOT>
        ³
        ÀÄÄÄMSLANMAN.DOS
            ³
            ÀÄÄÄDRIVERS
                ³
                ÃÄÄÄETHERNET
                ³   ³
                ³   ÀÄÄÄRPCI
                ³       ³
                ³       ÃÄÄ RPCI.DOS
                ³       ³
                ³       ÀÄÄ PROTOCOL.INI
                ³
                ÀÄÄÄNIF
                    ³
                    ÀÄÄ RPCI.NIF


    The following describes the directory and file contents under the tree:

      MSLANMAN.DOS and DRIVERS    Directories containing NDIS driver for
                                  DOS.

      ETHERNET       A directory contains the NDIS driver and PROTOCOL.INI
                     of the Ethernet cards.  The NDIS driver should have
                     it own directory in the name of the .NIF file.

      RPCI           A directory contains the NDIS driver and PROTOCOL.INI.

      RPCI.DOS       The NDIS2 driver.

      PROTOCOL.INI   The prototype of the final PROTOCOL.INI which stores
                     the configuration and binding information for all
                     protocols and MAC modules in the system.  This is for
                     use of the Protocol Manager during initialization.

                     This file will be bound or modified during the instal-
                     lation.

      NIF            A directory contains the network information file of
                     the NDIS driver for the SETUP utility.

      RPCI.NIF       The NIF file for the Ethernet NDIS driver.


3. Installation

   * Installing the Driver for LAN Manager Together with the NDIS Driver

     1) Install the LAN Manager according to the manual"s instructions.

     2) Answer "Yes" for the following questions:

            Import Network Drivers
            Do you have more disks to load?
            <No> <Yes>

     3) Insert the Ethernet Driver Disk into any floppy drive.  The fol-
        lowing message will appear:

            [X] RPCI Ethernet Adapter

        Press "Space Bar" to choose the driver and then choose OK.

     4) Later in the "Network Drivers" dialogue box, choose:

          RPCI Ethernet Adapter .............................Netbeui

     5) When the installation is completed, use any text editor to edit
        the following lines in PROTOCOL.INI under \LANMAN of your hard
        disk:

              [RPCI_NIF]
                    drivername=RPCI$

     6) Reboot your PC system.


   * Installing the Driver on a LAN Manager-Installed Machine

     1) Change the current directory to C:\LANMAN and run SETUP.

     2) From the "Action" menu of the Microsoft LAN Manager SETUP window,
        choose "Import Network Drivers".

     3) Insert the Ethernet Driver Disk into any floppy drive.  The fol-
        lowing message will appear:

           [X] RPCI Ethernet Adapter

        Press "Space Bar" to choose the driver and then choose OK.

     4) From the "Action" menu of the Setup Main Window, choose "View/
        Modify...".

     5) Later, when the "Network Drivers" dialogue box appears, remove
        the original Protocol Driver and NDIS Driver and select:

           RPCI Ethernet Adapter ............................Netbeui

        then, choose <Done>.

     6) From the "Action" menu of the Setup Main Window, choose "Save".

     7) Choose "Exit" from the Exit menu to exit the installation and
        return to DOS.

     8) Edit the following lines in C:\LANMAN\PROTOCOL.INI:

              [RPCI_NIF]
                    drivername=RPCI$

     9) Reboot your PC system.

How To Update Drivers Manually

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.
