Updating the PC Startup Files

This sample procedure describes how to modify the PROTOCOL.INI and CONFIG.SYS PC startup files to load the NDIS drivers for a PC running LAN Manager.

1Create a LANMAN subdirectory from the root of your boot disk using the following command:

MD \LANMAN

2Build a PROTOCOL.INI file in the LANMAN subdirectory.

The protocol manager, PROTMAN.DOS, places the PROTOCOL.INI file in the LANMAN subdirectory. The PROTOCOL.INI file contains information about the protocol manager, NDIS transport protocol, and your network adapter.

The following sample PROTOCOL.INI file uses NetBEUI (2.0) as the NDIS transport protocol with 3Com drivers.

[PROTOCOL MANAGER] DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$

[NETBEUI_XIF]

DRIVERNAME = NETBEUI$ BINDINGS = TLNK3_NIF

[TLNK3_NIF]

DRIVERNAME = TLNK3$

3If you have not already done so, copy the 3Com DOS NDIS driver (TLNK3.DOS) into the LANMAN subdirectory.

The NDIS driver is located in the \NDIS\DOS subdirectory on the TokenDisk diskette.

4Add the following lines to your CONFIG.SYS file (located in the root directory of your boot disk):

DEVICE = C:\LANMAN\PROTMAN.DOS/I:C:\LANMAN

DEVICE = C:\LANMAN\TLNK3.DOS

DEVICE = C:\LANMAN\<PROTOCOLDRIVER>.DOS

If you are using DOS 6.0, you must use the Microsoft Protocol Manager version 2.0 and not the 3Com Protocol Manager.

Substitute the actual DOS PROTOCOL driver name, if appropriate, for PROTOCOLDRIVER.DOS.
