custom keywords in configuration file.
Contents of the Subdirectory:
=============================
LMDOS.TXT This file.
FETND.DOS The NDIS2 driver for Lan Requester DOS workstations.
PROTOCOL.INI Sample protocol.ini file.
..\..\NIF\FETND.NIF The installation information file.
Installation:
=============
Before starting with the installation process, make sure that the adapter
is properly installed and configured. You can use the diagnostic program
(A:\SETUP.EXE) to make sure your connection with the network is correct.
Installing driver procedure on LAN MANAGER DOS WorkStation:
-----------------------------------------------------------
1) If you install LAN Manager for the first time, you Install LAN Manager
to your HardDisk by running SETUP.EXE program from the setup diskette.
Upon completion of the workstation's last disk installation, you
will be asked if you want to import additional network drivers.
Answer "YES".
If you have already installed LAN Manager in your hard disk, run
SETUP.EXE from HardDisk and select "Actions"->"Import Network Driver"
option.
2) Insert the NDIS2 driver diskette into drive 'A' and follow the steps
on the screen. Select the "Plug&Play ETHERNET ADAPTER" card and press
"enter", then SETUP.EXE program will copy the necessary NDIS2 driver
programs from the driver diskette to your hard disk, according to LAN
MANAGER file structure.
3) Reboot your computer for the changes to take effect.
