2Press Enter at the first three Information windows.

3In the Setup window, press Enter to accept all the default values.

4If you are using the 3.5-inch TokenDisk diskettes, insert TokenDisk diskette #2 in the drive. If you are using the TokenDisk CD, insert it in the CD-ROM drive.

5In the Process Driver Diskette window, enter the path for the NDIS driver. For example, if you are using the

3.5-inch TokenDisk diskettes, enter: a:\ndis2\dos

If you are using the TokenDisk CD, substitute the appropriate drive in the path.
