6 LAN Manager Workstation/Server
v1.1
LAN Manager* 2.2 Workstation/Server installation notes for
Compaq 10 and 10/100 Controllers and the NC3121 Fast Ethernet NIC
==================================================================
Location of Driver: \NDIS\MSLANMAN.BAT
MSLANMAN.BAT will create the following directory structure on a local
hard drive:
\MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\N100\N100.DOS (DOS NDIS driver)
\MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\N100\PROTOCOL.INI
\MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\NIF\N100.NIF
\MSLANMAN.OS2\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\N100\N100.OS2 (OS/2 NDIS driver)
\MSLANMAN.OS2\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\N100\PROTOCOL.INI
\MSLANMAN.OS2\DRIVERS\NIF\N100.NIF
Sample Configuration Files
--------------------------
CONFIG.SYS (for DOS) will include these lines:
DEVICE=C:\LANMAN\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANMAN
DEVICE=C:\LANMAN\N100.DOS
CONFIG.SYS (for OS/2) will include these lines:
DEVICE=C:\LANMAN\PROTMAN /I:C:\LANMAN
DEVICE=C:\LANMAN\N100.OS2
PROTOCOL.INI will contain these lines:
[N100_NIF]
; Protocol.ini section for Compaq 10 or 10/100 controllers
DRIVERNAME = N100$
General Installation
--------------------
1 Create the directory structure needed for the LAN Manager installation
by running the batch file MSLANMAN.BAT. It will create the
directories at the root of the specified drive and copy the necessary
files.
2 Run the appropriate Microsoft LAN Manager setup for the computer you
are setting up (DOS, OS/2 or OS/2 Server). When prompted for the LAN
controller driver, select "Other Driver" (the Compaq 10 or 10/100
controller driver isn't included on the LAN Manager disk) and specify
the drive from step 1. Select the Compaq controller driver and
follow the directions.
3 When completed, reboot your computer in order for changes to take
effect.
Hints and Tips
--------------
1 Parameters for the PROTOCOL.INI file:
DRIVERNAME: (required) If you have a single controller, use the syntax in
the Sample Configuration file section. If you are installing
multiple controllers, each controller must have a unique driver name.
Additional instances of the driver would be referenced by
DRIVERNAME=N100x$, where "x" is a unique number 2 through 9.
SPEED: (optional for 10/100 controllers and NC3121 Fast Ethernet NIC only;
parameters are [Auto / 10 / 100])
The parameter disables Auto-Speed Detect and causes the controller
to function at the speed indicated. If the FORCEDUPLEX parameter
is assigned to either 1 or 2, the SPEED parameter is required
because auto-speed sensing is disabled if the duplex mode is forced.
Auto-negotiating devices cannot detect speed changes in this
configuration until the driver is reloaded.[Example: SPEED=100]
FORCEDUPLEX:
Compaq 10/100 controller or NC3121 Fast Ethernet NIC: Supports auto-
negotiate, full and half duplex at 10 or 100 Mbps; Compaq 10 controller
supports duplex at 10 Mbps only and does not auto-negotiate.
This parameter disables Auto-Negotiate capability and forces the
controller to operate in Half or Full Duplex mode. The SPEED parameter
must be specified and must be valid if the default of Auto-
negotiate is changed. Options for FORCEDUPLEX are Auto (for auto-
negotiate), 1 (for half), 2 (for full). [Example: FORCEDUPLEX = 2]
SLOT: (required for multiple controllers) This parameter is optional if
only one controller is present. If it is specified but is incorrect,
a message indicates that the value doesn't match the configuration
but the driver finds the controller and loads anyway.
This parameter is required if more than one controller is present in
either one bus or multiple PCI buses of a system. The parameter
tells the driver which controller it controls. The SLOT number is the
encoded value of the PCI controller's device location. To determine
the slot number, load the driver with only the DRIVERNAME parameter
specified. The driver reports all the slots that have PCI
controller(s) installed. You can determine which card is in which slot
by using SETUP.EXE and matching the Ethernet addresses of the
controller to the device number specified in View Configuration.
[Example: SLOT=0x1C]
NODE: (optional) This value sets the controller's Individual Address,
overriding the value read from the controller EPROM. The address must
consist of 12 hexadecimal digits, enclosed in double quotes. The
value can not be all zeros. The value can not have the Multicast
bit set. So, use only the hexadecimal digits 2, 6, A, or E as the
second digit of the twelve required in the NODE ADDRESS parameter.
Use any hexadecimal digits in all other positions.
[Example: NODE = "02AA00123456"]
2 Sample PROTOCOL.INI for LAN Manager:

[NETBEUI_XIF]
Drivername = netbeui$
SESSIONS = 6
NCBS = 12
BINDINGS = "N100_NIF"
LANABASE = 0
[N100_NIF]
DRIVERNAME = N100$

Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
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.
