Edit the file per your requirements (see examples above). If there are two frame types listed, whichever frame type is listed first, that is the one that the driver will load. See above for examples. The NET.CFG file should be in the same directory with the LSL.COM file.

Be sure to add LASTDRIVE=Z to your CONFIG.SYS file for the network mappings to work properly. 2. When you have multiple RTL8169/8110 Adapters on your system: Use "BUSNO" and "DEVICENO" KEYWORD in NET.CFG to select which adapter to use with your netware client.(or you can use "EtherID")Download Driver Pack
