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.
