3Com Corporation
NDIS 2.01 Drivers Installation Notes


This procedure describes how to install Artisoft LANtastic 6.0
using the 3Com NDIS 2.01 driver ELPC3X.DOS.  The install
information files are designed for MicroSoft's install utility 
and must be edited for LANtastic's INSTALL program.  
Edit the ELPC3.NIF file, which is located in the
\MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\NIF subdirectory.  Comment 
out line 3 by putting a semicolon at the beginning of the line.
For example:

    ;DeviceDriver = 3CELCM.EXE

To install LANtastic from the DOS 
prompt or from Windows, follow these steps:


Installing from the DOS Prompt

 1. Insert Artisoft's LANtastic Install Disk 1 of 4 
    in the diskette drive.

 2. Type:

    INSTALL

    This launches Windows and starts the installation of 
    LANtastic.

 3. Go to step 4 under the "Installing from Windows" procedure
    and continue with the remaining steps.  

Installing from Windows

 1. Launch Windows, if it is not already opened.  

 2. Select Run from the Windows File menu.

 3. Type:  

    A:\INSTALL

    If you are using a different drive, use the letter for 
    that drive.

 4. Follow the instructions and answer the questions that appear. 

 5. Select NDIS Support for Network Adapters in the 
    Select Network Adapter window.  

 6. When prompted, remove the LANtastic diskette, insert 
    the EtherDisk diskette provided with the 3C562 PC Card, 
    and press [Enter].  

    The NDIS driver is copied to your hard drive. 

 7. When prompted, reinsert the LANtastic Install 
    Disk 1 in the drive.

 8. Answer the questions concerning your PC name 
    and drives based on your configuration. 

 9. After installation is complete, copy 3CELCM.EXE from the
    root directory of the EtherDisk on to the directory 
    of the hard drive where LANTASTIC resides  (the default 
    is \LANTASTI).

10. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file and add the 3CELCM.EXE entry right
    before the ELPC3X.DOS driver entry, so that that the 
    entries look somewhat as follows:

       ....
       DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\3CELCM.EXE      <--- Add this
       DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\ELPC3X.DOS
       ....

11. See SYSTEM.INI information below.
