ISA NE-Series Ethernet Adapter
NDIS DRIVER FOR SUN PC-NFS Installation
=======================================
The drivers named ETHNE contained in the directory
NDIS conform to the Network Driver Interface
Specification (NDIS) defined by Microsoft/3Com.
NDIS Driver Installation on SUN PC-NFS
--------------------------------------
1. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file to include the following
command line, and reboot the PC:
Device=c:\dos\ansi.sys
2. Insert the PC-NFS Installation diskette into the
PC's floppy drive. Type the following from DOS and
press <Enter> to bring up the PC-NFS installation
screen:
INSTALL <Enter>
3. Follow screen prompts to configure your screen
display. For example, press <M> to choose mono display,
or press <C> to choose color display, or press
<ESC> to cancel the installation.
4. When the "Install the Basic PC-NFS files" window
appears onscreen, select "Install Full PC-NFS" from
the choice list.
5. "Specify the target PC-NFS installation directory," by
typing the appropriate path in the field provided. For
example, C:\NFS. Then press <Enter> to continue.
6. Carefully read and respond to each prompt that
appears onscreen, indicating the suitable
selections for your system.
7. When you reach the prompt that reads, "Configure
an Ethernet network connection," choose "Ethernet"
from the choice list. Then press <Enter> to confirm
your choice.
8. Choose the network adapter you will use. Select
"NDIS" from the list shown onscreen. Then press
<Enter> to confirm your choice.
9. Follow screen instructions to complete the process. You
will be prompted to insert some PC-NFS distribution
diskettes. And during the process, files from
the diskettes will be copied into your hard disk
drive.
10. When prompted to update your AUTOEXEC.BAT and
CONFIG.SYS files, press "Y."
11. Your system will prompt you when the installation
process is complete. It will display the following
message, "PC-NFS installation is complete."
12. The system will create two subdirectories
in the destination drive, namely, \LANMAN and \NFS.
13. Create the NETWORK.BAT, DRIVES,BAT and HOSTS files.
Specify the PC name, IP address, server name
and server IP address in these files.
See the section on Sample Configuration Files
for examples.
14. Copy the NETWORK.BAT, DRIVES.BAT and HOSTS files
into the \NFS directory of your server.
15. Copy the ETHNE.DOS file from the
\MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\NDIS2 of your Driver Diskette
to the newly created subdirectory (\LANMAN) on your
destination drive.
Note: The ETHNE.DOS file is also found in the \NDIS\DOS
directory of your Driver Diskette.
16. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file using a text editor. Add
the following command line before the NFS_NDIS
driver specification:
DEVICE=C:\LANMAN\ETHNE.DOS
17. Edit the PROTOCOL.INI file in the \LANMAN directory,
replacing the following:
a. Replace the section name [your-mac-module]
with [NDIS2]
b. Replace the command line "drivername = YOURMAC$" with
"drivername = ETHNE$"
c. Specify the correct IRQ and IOBASE value
(may be omitted) to match the adapter's
hardware configuration. For example:
IRQ = 3
IOBASE = 0x300
d. Replace the command line "bindings = YOUR-MAC-MODULE"
with "bindings = ETHNE$"
18. Reboot your computer. Then start the application
you need. For example:
a. Execute NFSCONF.EXE to configure the system,
such as mounting a virtual drive E:
b. Execute TELNET.EXE to do terminal emulation
