Example ----- CONFIG.SYS DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANTASTI DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\MXNICF.DOS Example ----- AUTOEXEC.BAT / STARTNET.BAT C:\LANTASTI\AI-NDIS BIND_TO=MXNICF_NIF C:\LANTASTI\AILANBIO C:\LANTASTI\REDIR MachineName Example ----- PROTOCOL.INI [PROTMAN] DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$ DYNAMIC = YES [MXNICF_NIF] DRIVERNAME = MXNICF$ ;;Range:0-7 ;;Usage:"Board=nn" ;;------------------------------------- ;;Board=0 ;;Option:NWAY,TX10,TX10FD,TX100,TX100FD ;;FD->Full Duplex ;;Usage:"MEDIA_TYPE=XXX" ;;------------------------------------- ;;MEDIA_TYPE=NWAY Remark: If you request 10Mbps Full Duplex mode, please change the statement ;;MEDIA_TYPE=NWAY which inside PROTOCOL.INI as ;;MEDIA_TYPE=TX10FD and delete its semi-colon. Please change corresponding option for another mode. 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.
