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.
