          WINDOWS FOR WORKGROUPS v3.11 AND
            MICROSOFT WINDOWS NETWORKING


This document describes how to configure the LAN+Modem card
for use with Windows for Workgroups v3.11 and Microsoft 
Windows Networking. These procedures are also described in 
the EtherLink III LAN+Modem PC Card User Guide, Chapter 3,
Setup for Windows.

If you are going to install the Novell NetWare client in 
addition to the Microsoft Windows networking client, you must 
install the Novell NetWare client first.

Microsoft Windows for Workgroups (WFW) v3.11 does not include
internal support for the Plug and Play standard.  Since NDIS 
3.1 (32 BIT) Drivers operate only in Plug and Play environments,
you cannot operate the LAN+Modem card with the included 32-bit
driver. To ensure support for Windows for Workgroups v3.11, 
3Com includes a 16-bit NDIS 2.0 driver. This driver offers full
support for Windows for Workgroups, but may affect system 
performance. To resolve this deficiency with Windows for
Workgroups 3.11, you may want to upgrade your operating system
to Windows 95.  Check with your MIS department or system 
manager before doing this.

NOTE: The following instructions assume you have not installed
      any other network adapter in the machine. If networking 
      has already been installed, some of the instructions will
      not apply or appear accurate. Consult with your MIS 
      department for further instructions.

Before installing the network driver, you should gather the
following information and have it handy for supplying 
information to the setup dialog boxes:

      - Transport used in the Microsoft Windows Network 
        (typically IPX/SPX)
      - The Frame type used by the Microsoft Windows Network
        (typically 802.3)
      - Name of the NT Server domain or Windows 95/WFW 3.11
        Workgroup to which you belong.
      - The latest versions of the Card and Socket Services
        installed on your machine. Check with your computer
        manufacturer if you are not sure.

You will need to have the following software components
accessible and ready to use:

      - Windows for Workgroups v3.11 installation files (either
        on hard disk, floppy diskettes, or CD)
      - The EtherDisk diskette that came with your LAN+Modem
        card

Installing a New Client

1.  From Windows, open the Network group. Double click on 
    the Network Setup icon to open the Network Setup dialog
    box. If networking has not been installed, you will see

    networking has been installed, ignore this procedure and
    use Installing an Additional Client, below.

2.  Click on the Networks icon to open the Networks dialog 
    box. At the left edge of the dialog box, you will see 
    three radio buttons, describing the type of network support
    that Windows offers.  If you see the name of another

    will show the 3C562 card in the Network Drivers window.
    Click OK.

    Network Names dialog box. Your MIS department or network
    manager should be able to supply the information you need.
    When the information is complete, click OK. 

9.  The installer will request various disks for installation.
    When finished, you will be asked to reboot the system. You

    Network Setup icon to open the Network Setup dialog box.

    the Networks dialog box. (You will need this name later.)

    the small window under the selection that you just made,
    you will see other selections. Click Other.

    and click OK.

8.  Click CLOSE. When the Network Setup Dialog box reopens,
    it will show the 3C562 card in the Network Drivers window.
    Click OK.

9.  A Windows Setup dialogue box will open to alert you to the
    presence of files for the existing client. Select No if you
    want to maintain your access to the other network. Windows
    may ask this question several times, depending on how many
    references to the previous network it finds. Select No
    each time.

10. The installer will request various disks for installation.
    When finished, you will be asked to reboot the system. You
    will have network access when the system restarts. Refer to
    your Windows Manual for instructions on using Microsoft
    Windows Networking.
