FILE NAME: PATHWORK.TXT
=======================

Installation Procedures for the Following Networks:

    DEC Pathworks (Version 4.0)
    DEC Pathworks (Version 4.1)

Your Ethernet Card will work with DEC pathworks using any NE2000 
driver, or with LAN card supplied NE2NDIS.DOS NDIS driver.  If you are 
using another NE2000 NDIS driver, please use its name in place of 
NE2NDIS in the instructions below.

******************************************************************************
*   DEC Pathworks (Version 4.0)
******************************************************************************

1.  Run NETSETUP.

2.  Select "Ethernet Board".

3.  Select "Other".

4.  Select NDIS driver.

5.  Insert your Driver Diskette into the A: driver.

6.  Enter the path to the driver file as follows:

	A:\NDIS\NE2NDIS.DOS

7.  Select PROTOCOL.INI.

8.  Enter the path to the PROTOCOL.INI file as follows:

	A:\DEC

9.  Continue with installation.

10. When the installation is complete, you may need to amend your CONFIG.SYS
    to enable the Card.  If your CONFIG.SYS does not contain software
    to load socket and card services, as well as a card enabler, then
    copy the file C1SC.EXE into the decnet directory and add the line 
		   
                   "device=c:\decnet\C1SC.exe" 
    
    before the line "device=c:\decnet\ne2ndis.dos".

    If your PC contains PCMCIA software then check that it precedes the lines
    added by NETSETUP.

11. Make sure the PROTOCOL.INI file created contains the same IOBASE, and
    INTERRUPT numbers as specified by C1SC.

12. Reboot the PC.

Setting up files

Make a directory \DECNET on your hard disk, a floppy, or
whatever the CURRENT disk is.  (if you're on E:, make E:\DECNET)
Copy the files from the floppy into this directory.

Copy or RENAME one of the .DAT files to DECPARM.DAT -If you
receive a message from DLLNDIS that says it couldn't find your 
DECPARM.DAT file, be sure it's on \DECNET on the current disk.
(this can be moved if you want).

DLLNDIS                 DLL->NDIS driver

  • Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.

  • Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

  • From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.

  • Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.

Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
