Ether16 LAN Card Setup for Sun PC-NFS 5.0 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Contents: Before You Begin Setup with NDIS with Packet Driver Technical Support -------------------------------------------------------------------------- BEFORE YOU BEGIN -------------------------------------------------------------------------- If your computer does NOT have a plug-and-play motherboard, the following notes apply to you: 1. Before attempting to install the Ether16 LAN Card's network software drivers, you MUST configure the card's internal settings with the SETUP program included on Ether16 disk 1 under the UTILITY directory. Use the program to set the card's interrupt (IRQ) and I/O settings. For directions on using SETUP, see your Ether16 user guide. 2. Most network software packages like Windows 95, Windows NT, Novell NetWare, etc., include a "generic" network driver that will work with a wide range of network cards. This generic driver is called a "Novell NE2000" compatible driver, and it is fully supported by the Ether16 card. If your network software package asks you to choose the name of the network card you're installing from a list of available adapters, and you find "NE2000" or "Novell NE2000" listed, you don't need to follow the directions below---simply choose to install the NE2000 driver and the Ether16 Card will be ready for use. THE ETHER16 IS ONLY NE2000 COMPATIBLE WHEN THE CARD'S PLUG-AND-PLAY MODE IS TURNED OFF. If your PC has a plug-and-play motherboard, and you wish to use the generic NE2000 driver, you must run the Ether16 SETUP program and turn the card's plug-and-play mode off. Setup ------------------------------------------------------------------- Method 1 -- NDIS Driver 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� When using PC-NFS concurrently with LAN Manager, select the "NDIS" option from the PC-NFS installation screen. This option works with the NDIS drivers from the NDIS\DOS directory of Ether16 disk 1. Copy the files listed below into the \NFS directory of your hard disk. These files will be used in the installation.

This option works with the PACKET driver included in the provided driver diskette. Copy the files listed below into the \NFS directory of your hard disk from the PKTDRV directory of Ether16 disk 1. These files will be used in the installation.
