The default is A:\.
6 On the client you're setting up, copy the NDIS client software to a
directory on the hard drive. Run Banyan's PCCONFIG program. Select
Network Card Settings and page down to select the NDIS Ethernet
option. Specify the PROTOCOL.INI Bindings parameter: E100B_NIF.

Communications Driver. Page down to select the NDIS Ethernet option.

Hints and Tips
--------------
1 Error Message with PRO0025E:
This type of message occurs when the driver attempts to bind to the
protocol manager. It generally indicates that there's a syntax or
other error in the PROTOCOL.INI file. Review the file carefully for
errors. Also, verify parameters entered in PCCONFIG. For additional
information, reference NDISBAN.DOC which is part of the NDIS Banyan
client software.
2 Make sure your NDISBAN.COM is dated April 1994 or later. Earlier
versions may not work properly.
3 Parameters for the PROTOCOL.INI file:
Drivername: This is the one required parameter. See the Sample
Configuration Files section at the top of this document for syntax.
