****************************************************************** LANtastic 6.0 and 5.0 Installation Notes for the Microdyne NE10/100 ISA Adapter Updated February 1997 ***************************************************************** If your system is not Plug and Play compatible, you must run the CONFIG program before starting operating system setup of the adapter. For more information, type GENERAL.TXT in \GENERAL or view the Plug and Play Notes section of README - General Introduction. CONFIG must be run under DOS. Installing and Configuring the NE10/100 ISA Adapter Driver for LANtastic 6.0 ================================================== Location of driver: \MSCLIENT\NE100I.DOS General instructions (sample configuration files below) ----------------------------------------------------------- The installation procedure will transfer files to a specific directory on the workstation and create or modify existing configuration files to fit your specific needs. The installation utility INSTALL.EXE is located on LANtastic Network Software Disk 1. Run INSTALL.EXE from Disk 1. The LANtastic Install program panel will appear. You must complete each of the questions. These options are specific to your needs. 1. Enter a unique Computer Name. 2. Select the drive on which you want LANtastic to be installed. 3. Select a directory where LANtastic files are to be installed. The default is \LANTASTI. 4. Share your Computers Drivers or Printers as needed. 5. Select the Maximum Number of Connected Computers. 6. Install prompts you to select any other LANtastic features that you might want to install. 7. A summary panel of the options you have selected appears. If it is correct, continue with the installation. 8. Select a network adapter to connect to the network. From the list of adapters, select "NDIS SUPPORT FOR NETWORK ADAPTERS". 9. Insert the Microdyne NE10/100 ISA Adapter Disk in the drive and specify the source path for driver files as drive:\MSCLIENT, where drive = either A or B. 10. Set Up Permanent Drive or Printer Connections. 11. A summary panel of the options you have selected. If it is correct, then select: Perform the Installation. LANtastic will now install the files. Tips and Hints =============== Below are sample CONFIG.SYS, STARTNET.BAT and PROTOCOL.INI files. These are the three files with NE10/100 ISA configuration options that the Install program will create.

Using the NDIS driver with LANtastic 5.0 requires getting the NDIS support module from Artisoft. As of September 1995, Artisoft's Bulletin Board number is 602-884-9675 and the file name to download is AINDIS.EXE. 2. Insert LANtastic/AI Disk 1 in the Disk drive and run INSTALL. 3. The LANtastic installation panel comes up and prompts you for your configuration. Choose Other NETBIOS Compatible Network Adapter for Network Adapter installed. 4. After the installation has been completed, LANtastic tells you to modify your STARTNET.BAT to add the line for your network adapter driver. Do not modify the STARTNET.BAT yet; wait until you have installed the AI-NDIS support in the next step. 5. To install the AI-NDIS portion, insert the LANtastic AI-NDIS Support Disk and run INSTALL. 6. The AI-NDIS Installation panel comes up and prompts you to select Installation Options. Choose LANtastic NDIS for Other Network Adapters. 7. When prompted for the manufacturer's Disk, insert the NE10/100 ISA disk. You do not need to specify a directory. The installation program will read the necessary files from the Disk and copy them to your LANtastic subdirectory. 8. The AI-NDIS installation modifies your CONFIG.SYS and creates a file called PROTOCOL.INI in the LANtastic subdirectory. See below for an example of the file. 9. The STARTNET.BAT file that INSTALL created in the LANtastic directory needs to be modified for the AI-NDIS support. You need to add a line to it calling the STRTNDIS.BAT batch file. See a sample file above.

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.
