* NDIS/2 Driver for LANTASTIC 5.0/6.0 *
* *
*****************************************************************************
The driver named RTSND contained in the directory \NDIS2 conform to the
Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) defined by Microsoft/3Com.
A) NDIS/2 Driver Installation for LANtastic 5.0
============================================
LANtastic 5.0 can support the following driver: NDIS driver
Using the NDIS driver:
----------------------
Under NDIS, use the "RTSND.DOS" driver for the PCI Fast Ethernet adapter.
Users can use the "RTSND.DOS" driver to replace AEXNDIS.DOS which is the
NDIS driver offered by ARTISOFT.
Example ----- CONFIG.SYS
DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANTASTI
DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\RTSND.DOS
Example ----- AUTOEXEC.BAT / STARTNET.BAT
C:\LANTASTI\AI-NDIS BIND_TO=RTSND_NIF
C:\LANTASTI\AILANBIO
C:\LANTASTI\REDIR MachineName
Example ----- PROTOCOL.INI
[PROTMAN]
DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$
DYNAMIC = YES
[RTSND_NIF]
DRIVERNAME = RTSND$
Comments:
If you are using PROTMAN.DOS V1.x, you must use the NO_BIND
option on the AI-NDIS command line in the STARTNET.BAT,
and you need to run NETBIND.EXE V1.x before AILANBIO.EXE.
B) NDIS/2 Driver Installation for LANtastic 6.0
============================================
LANtastic 6.0 can support the following driver: NDIS driver
Using the NDIS driver:
----------------------
To install the NDIS driver "RTSND.DOS", users can use the
LANtastic 6.0 install program, and select "NDIS support for
network adapters", then insert the PCI Fast Ethernet driver
diskette, and type the path "A:\NDIS2\DOS". The install program will
search for "RTSND.DOS" and "PROTOCOL.INI" and copy these two files
to the target directory.
If you have already installed LANtastic 6.0 and need to install
the PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter, just replace AEXNDIS.DOS with
the NDIS driver "RTSND.DOS" in CONFIG.SYS
Example ----- CONFIG.SYS
DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANTASTI
DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\RTSND.DOS
Example ----- AUTOEXEC.BAT / STARTNET.BAT
