running, under System.
General Instructions (For version 950B Only)
============================================
1 Install the adapter in the computer and turn on the power. Have the
Windows 95 CD ROM available, as you will need it to copy additional
files. While Windows 95 is starting, it will detect the new hardware.
2 When Windows 95 starts, a New Hardware Found dialog box appears. It
identifies the adapter as a PCI Ethernet Controller. Insert the
Configuration and Drivers disk or CD (D:\LAN\) in the appropriate drive,
and at the Update Device Driver Wizard, click Next.
NOTE: If the New Hardware Found dialog box doesn't appear, you'll
need to manually configure the adapter. See the section
"Alternatives for Adding Network Cards to Windows 95".
3 The Update Device Driver Wizard lists the driver it has found as
the Intel(R) PRO/100+ PCI Adapter. Click Finish.
4 A dialog may appear requesting Windows 95 system network files. If
so, follow the instructions.
Note: The Windows 95 system files are typically available on the
Windows 95 CD in the win95 directory (D:\win95). If Windows
95 requests the E100B.DOS file or the 8255XNDI.DL_ files,
they can be found on the Configuration and Drivers disk.
6 The Systems Setting Change dialog appears indicating you should
restart the system for changes to become effective. Remove the
Configuration and Drivers disk from the drive and click Yes for the
changes to take effect.
Advanced Configuration Parameters
---------------------------------
An advanced configuration utility called PROSet was installed on your
system when you installed the PRO/100+ adapter. To start PROSet,
double-click on the PROSet icon in the Windows control panel. For
additional information, click Help in the PROSet window.
The defaults specified for the adapter work correctly for most

Windows 95 CD in the win95 directory (D:\win95).
Hints and Tips
--------------
Using NDIS 2 driver and Full Duplex:
Installing the NDIS 2 driver through Windows 95 does not properly set
the driver to Full Duplex. In order for you to use Full Duplex with
E100B.DOS, you must edit the PROTOCOL.INI file in the Windows 95
directory to include:
[E100B_NIF]
Drivername = E100B$
FORCEDUPLEX = 2
*** *** *** *** *** ***
- CHANGING ADAPTER SETTINGS WITH PROSET
=====================================
There are two ways to run PROSet, which allows changing the adapter
settings.
- From the Control Panel double-click on the PROSet icon.
- From the Control Panel, double-click on the Network icon, select
the Adapters tab, and double-click on the "Intel(R) PRO/100+
PCI Adapter".
From the main PROSet menu click the Advanced tab to view and modify
adapter settings. The defaults work correctly for most configurations.
Speed
-----
Recommended setting: Auto Detect (default)
This parameter lets the PRO/100+ adapter know what speed to use on the
Ethernet wire. The choices are 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and Auto Detect.
In Auto Detect mode, the adapter detects if its environment can support
100 Mbps speed. It then sets the speed to 100 if it can, or 10 if it
can't.
Note: If you want to choose a Duplex Mode other than Auto Detect,
you must set the speed to either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
Duplex
------
Recommended setting: Auto Detect
Auto Detect: The adapter negotiates with the hub or switch how
to send/ receive packets, either full or half duplex.
Full-Duplex: The adapter sends and receives packets at the same
time. This improves the performance of your adapter. Set
duplex mode to full duplex only if you have a full duplex
switch.
Half-Duplex: The adapter performs one operation at a time. It
either sends or receives.
Note: To change the Duplex mode, you must set the Speed to
either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
The PRO/100+ adapter has the ability to send and receive packets at
the same time (full-duplexing) at both 10 and 100 Mbps. In order to
reap the benefits of full duplexing, you MUST have a full duplex
hub or switch.
The PRO/100+ adapter has the added ability to "talk" to the hub or
switch and determine at which mode to communicate (either full or half
duplex). This is called auto-negotiation. You must have an auto-
negotiating hub or switch to get full duplex support with the Duplex
Mode set to Auto. If you don't have an auto-negotiating hub or switch
and want to run at full duplex, set Duplex Mode to Full and then set
the SPEED parameter to either 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps.
The PRO/100B T4 adapter can not operate in full duplex mode at 100 Mbps.
The PRO/10+ PCI adapter can only operate in full duplex mode at 10 Mbps
and only on the TPE connector. The PRO/10+ PCI adapter does not support
autonegotiation; it will run at half duplex unless forced.
Other Settings
==============
For information on other settings in the PROSet Advanced tab, use
PROSet's context-sensitive online help.

effect, click on Restart Computer.
Hints and Tips
--------------
General
1. If you are installing multiple PRO/100 adapters in WFW follow the
instructions above for installing each adapter. Then, enter the
adapter's 12-digit hexadecimal Ethernet address in the [IN$E100B]
and [IN$E100B1] sections of the PROTOCOL.INI file. (The Ethernet
address is printed on a sticker placed on the adapter. For dual-
port adapters, increment the Ethernet address by 1 for the Ethernet
address of the second port.)
Novell NetWare
1. Before you begin to install driver support for WFW and Novell NetWare
on the same workstation, you'll need these Novell NetWare files:
NETWARE.DRV, NETWARE.HLP, NWPOPUP.EXE, VIPX.386, and VNETWARE.386.
To obtain these files, do one of the following:
a Download the self-extracting file WINDR3.EXE from Novell NetWare
forum on CompuServe or Novell's FTP server on the internet
(ftp.novell.com) or WWW
(ftp://ftp.novell.com/pub/updates/nwos/dsclnt12).
b Contact Novell to have the files sent to you.
c Contact a Novell NetWare dealer in your area.
2 Set up the workstation to connect to NetWare using the DOS ODI client
driver.
3 Load the ODI driver and login to your NetWare server.
4 Start WFW and set up the driver for the PRO/100+ adapter
by following the instructions shown above. When the driver is chosen,
WFW detects the ODI driver is already loaded and automatically
installs the appropriate support. Next to the adapter name in the
Network Drivers window, you'll see [ODI/NDIS3] which indicates it
recognized the ODI driver.
