MICROSOFT'S NETWORK DRIVER INTERFACE SPEC (NDIS)
================================================
This file covers the installation procedures for the following networks:
Banyan Vines DOS Workstation (Version 4.0+)
Sun Microsystems PC-NFS (Version 3.5+)
IBM Local Area Network Support Program (Version 1.2+)
******************************************************************************
* Banyan Vines DOS Workstation (Version 4.0+)
******************************************************************************
1. Create a Banyan subdirectory on your workstation hard disk. For example:
C:> MD \VINES
2. Copy the files GCS1NDIS.DOS and PROTOCOL.INI from the \NDIS subdirectory
on your Drivers Diskette to the \VINES subdirectory just created.
3. Copy the files from the VINES Master diskette into the \VINES
subdirectory.
4. Copy the NDIS driver files from \NDIS subdirectory on the VINES LAN
Drivers diskette into the \VINES subdirectory.
5. Using a text editor, edit the CONFIG.SYS file to include the following
lines:
DEVICE = C:\VINES\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\VINES
DEVICE = C:\VINES\GCS1NDIS.DOS
6. Type PCCONFIG.
7. From the menu select Network Card Settings. Select NDIS as the default
network driver and configure the NDIS driver as follows:
Interrupt Level (2-15) : 7
PROTOCOL.INI bindings = GCS1000_NIF
8. Press F10 to save and ESC to return to the main menu.
9. Edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file with the additional lines:
CD \VINES
BAN /NC
NDISBAN
REDIRALL
Z:LOGIN admin@eng@testing
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The above will work satisfactorily for VINES revision 5.50(1) and above. For
earlier VINES versions it is necessary to "Patch" the server for NDIS 2.10
support.
Patches for VINES are as follows
VINES 4.11(5) Patch 5005-EA-1
VINES 5.00(5) Patch 4115-FW-1
Patches are available to Authorised Resellers through their support channel.

******************************************************************************
* Sun Microsystems PC-NFS (Version 3.5+)
******************************************************************************
1. Install PC-NFS for Ethernet according to instructions in the PC-NFS
documentation. Choose NDIS setup, and complete the setup.
2. Rename the file PROTOCOL.NFS in the C:\LANMAN subdirectory to
PROTOCOL.INI. Use an ASCII text editor to edit the PROTOCOL.INI file
as follows:
Replace the items
[your-mac-module]
drivername = YOURMAC$
[NFS-NDIS]
drivername = NFSLINK1
bindings = your-mac-module
with
[GCS1000_NIF]
drivername = GCS1000$
[NFS-NDIS]
drivername = NFSLINK1
bindings = GCS1000_NIF
3. Copy the file GCS1NDIS.DOS from the \NDIS subdirectory on your Drivers
Diskette to the C:\LANMAN subdirectory.
4. Use an ASCII text editor to insert the following lines in your
CONFIG.SYS file:
DEVICE = C:\LANMAN\GCS1NDIS.DOS
between
DEVICE = C:\LANMAN\PROTMAN.SYS
DEVICE = C:\LANMAN\NFS-NDIS.SYS
5. Reboot the PC.
******************************************************************************
* IBM Local Area Network Support Program (Version 1.2+)
******************************************************************************
1. Install the IBM Local Area Network Support Program according to the
instructions in the User's Guide.
2. Using a text editor to replace the following lines in your CONFIG.SYS
file:
DEVICE = \XX.DOS
DEIVCE = \DXMA0MOD.SYS
DEIVCE = \DXME0MOD.SYS
DEVICE = \DXMT0MOD.SYS
with:
DEVICE = \GCS1NDIS.DOS
DEIVCE = \DXMA0MOD.SYS 001
DEIVCE = \DXME0MOD.SYS
DEVICE = \DXMT0MOD.SYS S=12 C=14 ST=12 O=N
3. Using a text editor to edit the PROTOCOL.INI file as follows:
[GCS1000_NIF]
drivername = GCS1000$
[ETHERNET]
DriverName = DXME0$
Bindings = GCS1000_NIF
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.
