==============================
INSTALLATION FOR LANTASTIC 5.0
==============================
SMC's NDIS driver \NDIS\DOS\SMC1208.DOS may be used in place of
AEXNDIS.DOS, the NDIS driver offered by ARTISOFT.
Sample Configuration Files for 5.0
----------------------------------
AUTOEXEC.BAT / STARTNET.BAT
C:\LANTASTI\AI-NDIS BIND_TO=SMC1208_NIF
C:\LANTASTI\AILANBIO
C:\LANTASTI\REDIR MachineName
CONFIG.SYS
DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANTASTI
DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\SMC1208.DOS ---> NDIS driver for SMC SMC1208
PROTOCOL.INI
[PROTMAN]
DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$
DYNAMIC = YES
[SMC1208_NIF]
DRIVERNAME = SMC1208$
If you are using PROTMAN.DOS V1.x, the NO_BIND option must be used
on the AI-NDIS command line in STARTNET.BAT, and NETBIND.EXE V1.x
must be run before AILANBIO.EXE.
==============================
INSTALLATION FOR LANTASTIC 6.0
==============================
Two alternative methods:
A. Using the LANtastic 6.0 Install Program
------------------------------------------
NOTE: This method is required if LANtastic 6.0 has not yet been
installed.
1. Start the LANtastic 6.0 Install program.
2. Select "NDIS support for network adapters."
3. Insert the SMC Driver Diskette for SMC's EZ Card 10 PCI cards and enter
the path "A:\LANTASTI" (for floppy drive A). The Install program
searches for SMC1208.DOS and PROTOCOL.INI (which are in \NDIS\DOS and
\LANTASTI, respectively) and copies the files to the target
directory.
B. Using Manual Installation
----------------------------
NOTE: This method can be used if LANtastic 6.0 has been already
installed.
1. Replace the old NDIS 2 driver (xxx.DOS) with the NDIS 2 driver for
SMC's EZ Card 10 PCI cards -- \NDIS\DOS\SMC1208.DOS
2. Edit CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT and PROTOCOL.INI as indicated below.
AUTOEXEC.BAT / STARTNET.BAT
@echo ===== Begin LANtastic configuration =====
SET LAN_CFG=C:\LANTASTI
PATH C:\LANTASTI;%PATH%
