LANtastic 6.0 installation 

  The installation procedure will transfer files to a specific directory on 
  the workstation and create or modify existing configuration files to fit 
  your specific needs. The installation utility INSTALL.EXE is located on 
  LANtastic* Network Software Disk 1.

  GENERAL INSTALLATION

  HINTS and TIPS
  --------------
  
  1. Below are sample CONFIG.SYS, STARTNET.BAT, and PROTOCOL.INI files. 
     These are the three files with EtherExpress16 adapter configuration 
     parameters.

  CONFIG.SYS: 

  DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANTASTI
  DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\EXP16.DOS
  FILES=100
  BUFFERS=30 

  STARTNET.BAT: 

  @echo off
  C:
  cd C:\LANTASTI
  SET LAN_CFG=C:\LANTASTI
  rem If LANtastic is disabled, skip everything.
  IF EXIST DISABLED GOTO :STARTNET_DONE
  @echo ===== Begin LANtastic configuration =====
  PATH C:\LANTASTI;C:\LANTASTI\NW;%PATH%
  SET LAN_DIR=C:\LANTASTI.NET
  SET NWDBPATH=C:\LANTASTI\NW
  LOADHIGH AI-NDIS BIND_TO=EXP16_NIF
  AILANBIO @STARTNET.CFG
  REDIR LAB1 @STARTNET.CFG
  IF EXIST NOSHARE GOTO :NOSHARE
  SERVER C:\LANTASTI.NET @STARTNET.CFG
  NET LOGIN \\LAB1
  GOTO :CONTINUE
  :NOSHARE
  @echo LANtastic server was installed but turned off.
  :CONTINUE
  rem If CONNECT.BAT exists, run it to set up connections.
  IF EXIST CONNECT.BAT GOTO :CONNECT
  rem Otherwise set up connections specified during install.
  NET USE LPT1: \\LAB1\@PRINTER
  NET LPT TIMEOUT 10
  GOTO :CONNECT_DONE
  :CONNECT
  @echo Setting up LANtastic connections from CONNECT.BAT
  rem Build CONNECT.BAT like this: "NET SHOW/BATCH > C:\LANTASTI\CONNECT.BAT"
  rem   (or run the batch file SETNET.BAT)
  call CONNECT.BAT
  :CONNECT_DONE
  NET POSTBOX
  @echo ===== End LANtastic configuration =====
  :STARTNET_DONE
  cd \ 


  PROTOCOL.INI: 

  ;PROTOCOL.INI for LANtastic Version 6.00
  ;------------ using
  ;
  [PROTMAN]
	DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$
	DYNAMIC = YES 

  ; Protocol.Ini section for the Intel EtherExpress16 Adapter.
  [EXP16_NIF]
	DRIVERNAME = EXP16$
	IOADDRESS = 0x300 


  Note that the I/O address for the EtherExpress 16 is specified in the 
  PROTOCOL.INI with the line IOADDRESS=0x300. If you have changed your 
  EtherExpress 16 adapter I/O address from the default of 300, you must 
  change the address in the IOADDRESS= parameter in the PROTOCOL.INI to 
  match the new address. For example, if you have changed the Port 
  address to 340 the line would read:
		 
		 IOADDRESS=0x340.
