After installation, make sure the point enabler
(FMENABLE.EXE) is loaded before the network is
started.

============================================================
Before Installing the Client
----------------------------

If you are going to install the Novell NetWare client in
addition to the Microsoft Windows networking client, you
must install the Novell NetWare client first.

Before installing the network driver, you should gather the
following information and have it handy for supplying
information to the setup dialog boxes:

 - Name of the NT Server domain or Windows 95/WFW 3.11
   Workgroup to which you belong.
 - The latest versions of the Card and Socket Services
   installed on your machine. Check with your computer
   manufacturer if you are not sure.

You will need to have the following software components
accessible and ready to use:

 - Windows for Workgroups v3.11 installation files
   (either on hard disk, floppy diskettes, or CD)
 - The Installation Disk 2 that came with your
   LAN+Modem card

============================================================
Installing a New Client
-----------------------

1.  From Windows, open the Network group. Double click on
    the Network Setup icon to open the Network Setup dialog
    box. If networking has not been installed, you will see
    nothing in the network drivers window. If it looks like
    networking has been installed, ignore this procedure and
    use Installing an Additional Client, below.

2.  Click on the Networks icon to open the Networks dialog
    box. At the left edge of the dialog box, you will see
    three radio buttons, describing the type of network
    support that Windows offers.  If you see the name of
    another network client listed on the bottom of this
    window, see Installing an Additional Client, below.

3.  Select Install Microsoft Windows Network and click OK.

4.  Click Drivers to open the Network Drivers dialog box.

5.  Click Add Adapter to display a list of possible choices
    for adapter. Select Unlisted or Updated Network Adapter
    and click OK.

6.  At the Install Driver prompt, insert Installation
    Disk 2 in the floppy drive and click OK. Select the
    "3Com Megahertz 10/100 LAN + 56K Modem PC Card" and
    click OK.  You will see the following added to the list
    of network drivers:

    3Com Megahertz 10/100 LAN + 56K Modem PC Card [NDIS2]

7.  Click CLOSE. When the Network Setup Dialog box reopens,
    it will show the "3Com Megahertz 10/100 LAN + 56K Modem
    PC Card" in the Network Drivers window.  Click OK.

8.  Supply the information requested in the Microsoft
    Windows Network Names dialog box. Your MIS department
    or network manager should be able to supply the
    information you need.  When the information is
    complete, click OK.

9.  The installer will request various disks for
    installation.  When finished, you will be asked to
    reboot the system. You will have network access when
    the system restarts. Refer to your Windows Manual for
    instructions on using Microsoft Windows Networking.

============================================================
Installing an Additional Client
-------------------------------

If there is NetWare (ODI) or other client already installed
on your system, follow this procedure:

1.  From Windows, open the Network group. Double click on
    the Network Setup icon to open the Network Setup dialog
    box.

2.  Write down the name of the client listed on the last
    line of the Networks dialog box. (You will need this
    name later.)

3.  Click Install Microsoft Windows Network. At the bottom
    of the small window under the selection that you just
    made, you will see other selections. Click Other.

4.  Find the name of the client you noted in Step 2, select
    it, and click OK.

5.  Click Drivers to open the Network Drivers dialog box.

6.  Click Add Adapter to display a list of possible choices
    for adapter. Select Unlisted or Updated Network Adapter
    and click OK.

7.  At the Install Driver prompt, insert Installation
    Disk 2 in the floppy drive and click OK. Select the
    "3Com Megahertz LAN + 56K Modem PC Card" and click OK.
    You will see the following added to the list of network
    drivers:

    3Com Megahertz 10/100 LAN + 56K Modem PC Card [NDIS2]

8.  Click CLOSE. When the Network Setup Dialog box reopens,
    it will show the LAN+Modem card in the Network Drivers
    window.  Click OK.

9.  A Windows Setup dialogue box will open to alert you to
    the presence of files for the existing client. Select
    No if you want to maintain your access to the other
    network. Windows may ask this question several times,
    depending on how many references to the previous
    network it finds. Select No each time.

10. The installer will request various disks for
    installation.  When finished, you will be asked to
    reboot the system. You will have network access when
    the system restarts. Refer to your Windows Manual for
    instructions on using Microsoft Windows Networking.
