NDIS 2.01 Drivers Installation Notes
This procedure describes how to install Artisoft LANtastic 6.0
using the 3Com NDIS 2.01 driver ELPC3X.DOS. The install
information files are designed for MicroSoft's install utility
and must be edited for LANtastic's INSTALL program.
Edit the ELPC3.NIF file, which is located in the
\MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\NIF subdirectory. Comment
out line 3 by putting a semicolon at the beginning of the line.
For example:
;DeviceDriver = 3CELCM.EXE
To install LANtastic from the DOS
prompt or from Windows, follow these steps:
Installing from the DOS Prompt
1. Insert Artisoft's LANtastic Install Disk 1 of 4
in the diskette drive.
2. Type:
INSTALL
This launches Windows and starts the installation of
LANtastic.
3. Go to step 4 under the "Installing from Windows" procedure
and continue with the remaining steps.
Installing from Windows
1. Launch Windows, if it is not already opened.
2. Select Run from the Windows File menu.
3. Type:
A:\INSTALL
If you are using a different drive, use the letter for
that drive.
4. Follow the instructions and answer the questions that appear.
5. Select NDIS Support for Network Adapters in the
Select Network Adapter window.
6. When prompted, remove the LANtastic diskette, insert
the EtherDisk diskette provided with the 3C562 PC Card,
and press [Enter].
The NDIS driver is copied to your hard drive.
7. When prompted, reinsert the LANtastic Install
Disk 1 in the drive.
8. Answer the questions concerning your PC name
and drives based on your configuration.
9. After installation is complete, copy 3CELCM.EXE from the
root directory of the EtherDisk on to the directory
of the hard drive where LANTASTIC resides (the default
is \LANTASTI).
10. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file and add the 3CELCM.EXE entry right
before the ELPC3X.DOS driver entry, so that that the
entries look somewhat as follows:
....
DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\3CELCM.EXE <--- Add this
DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\ELPC3X.DOS
....
11. See SYSTEM.INI information below.
