DEC PATHWORKS installation with NE2000 Compatible NDIS driver --------------------------------------------------------------- For EtherPair/EtherCoax Family LAN Adapter Drivers For Use in DEC Pathworks Environment 1. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS a. Insert the DEC PathWorks Client Setup diskette #1 into your diskette drive (A: or B:) b. type Netsetup at A:> or B: prompt, then press Enter to startup menu. c. Unless you have an LK250 keyboard, Select "NO". d. Select the DECNET transport option and press Enter. e. Insert the DNET TRNSPRT diskette #1 into the diskette drive(A: or B:). f. Specify the destination drive letter (C or D) g. Are you creating an initial workstation diskette? Select "NO". h. Type in the node name and address(i.e node number). Press Enter. i. Type in the server node name and address(i.e node number), Press Enter. j. Select "Ethernet" when prompt "Select the network adapter type": k. Select "(Other NDIS)" when prompt "Select the network adapter": l. Enter full DRIVER:\PATH\FILENAME for NDIS driver: A:\ or B:\MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHNE\ACCNE\ETHNE.DOS Located at driver program diskette. m. Enter full DRIVER:\PATH\ for the PROTOCOL.INI file: A:\or B:\MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHNE\ACCNE\ n. If they are all accurate, Select "WRITE KEY DISK" to start installation. When prompt to copy files ETHNE.DOS and PROTOCOL.INI , Please insert driver program diskette to diskette drive (A: or B: drive dependent on path at step l. and m.) o. Follow the prompts till completion. p. At the Configuration screen, press F10 to exit to C:\ q. Using text editor to edit PROTOCOL.INI at DECNET sub-directory Remove the semicolon (;) from the statement "NI_IRQ = 5" under [DATALINK], Then check if the irq value in the new [ETHNE.DOS] IRQ statement(maybe omitted) matches the NI_IRQ value in the [DATALINK] statement and Adapter IRQ value when set.
