Driver Installation on NDIS Networks

This document applies to the EtherExpress™ 16, 16/TP, 16C, FLASH, FLASH TP, FLASHC, MCA, and MCA/TP adapters. It contains installation notes for installing the driver. It does not explain how to configure an EtherExpress board. For instructions about configuring the board, see either the Expert's Guide or the Complete Guide for your board.

Introduction

Many different network operating systems use a standard NDIS driver to talk to the network adapter. The NDIS subdirectory on the EtherExpress disk contains the files you need to use the EtherExpress card with one of these operating systems.

FILE Purpose
EXP16.DOS NDIS driver for DOS workstations.
EXP16.OS2 NDIS driver for servers & OS/2* workstations.
PROTOCOL.INI Fragment of the general PROTOCOL.INI file. This fragment contains information specific to the EtherExpress 16 boards. You'll need to add this fragment to the general PROTOCOL.INI file.
EXPSTAT.EXE A utility for analyzing problems after your driver is loaded. You can run this under OS/2 (inside or outside the compatibility box) or under DOS.

Your NOS may also make use of a Network information (.NIF) file. If so, you can find the .NIF file for DOS workstations in the \MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\NIF directory, and the .NIF file for OS/2 workstations in the \MSLANMAN.OS2\DRIVERS\NIF directory.
