This document describes the procedure to setup LANtestic driver for PCI Ethernet card. Location of Driver: \LANTASTI\V50\PCILAN5.EXE ------------------ Sample Configuration Files: -------------------------- A. STARTNET (for LANtastic server) @ECHO OFF SET LAN_DIR=C:\LANTASTI.NET SET LAN_CFG=C:\LANTASTI PATH C:\LANTASTI;%PATH% SHARE /L:200 REM NEX000 IRQ=3 IOBASE=300 16-BIT VERBOSE ---> Mask this line PCILAN5 VERBOSE ---> Added for Manufacturer AILANBIO REDIR NAME LOGINS=3 SERVER NET LOGIN/WAIT \\SERVERNAME NAME NET LPT TIMEOUT 10 NET POSTBOX B. STARTNET.BAT (for LANtastic workstation) @ECHO OFF SET LAN_CFG=C:\LANTASTI PATH C:\LANTASTI;%PATH% REM NEX000 IRQ=3 IOBASE=300 16-BIT VERBOSE ---> Mask this line PCILAN5 VERBOSE ---> Added for Manufacturer AILANBIO REDIR WORKSTATION_NAME LOGINS=2 NET LPT TIMEOUT 10 NET POSTBOX Install Ethernet drivers for LANtastic 5.0 : (Using LANtastic driver) ------------------------------------------ 1. Before you start the installation process, make sure that the LANtastic operating system (server/workstation) is properly installed. Similarly, your adapter should also be properly installed in your workstation. 2. Run LANtastic "install" program, and move highlight to "Network Adapter Install" item, then ENTER and select "Other NETBIOS Compatible Network Adapter" item. 3. When complete installation,then copy Ethernet driver "PCILAN5.EXE" from the driver diskette A:\LANTASTI\V50 to your LANtastic subdirectory C:\LANTASTI.5 . 4. Modify STARTNET.BAT file as above sample configuration files. Notes: ------ Installing Multiple LAN Adapters: If there are multiple network cards on the main board. You must modify your startnet.bat file as following : PCILAN5 VERBOSE AILANBIO PCILAN5/MPX=D7 VERBOSE AILANBIO/MPX=D7/ADAPTER=1 The first invocation of PCILAN5.EXE and AILANBIO.EXE loads into the first adapter using the default MPX number (C7), and adapter number 0. The command line switches in the second invocation instruct the NETBIOS to load into the second card, (adapter number 1) using and DOS MPX number D7. If problems occur, the screen will prompt you some error messages. Please refer to your LANtastic 5.0 manual for details on these messages.
