Installing the NDIS2 Driver Software on MS-DOS Platforms
The NDIS2 driver software can be run from an MS-DOS startup disk using
Microsoft Network Client 3.0 or from the hard disk using Microsoft LAN
Manager 2.2.
This section describes how to create a startup disk and modify it. See the
following:
“Creating a Startup Disk” on page 58
“Modifying the Startup Disk” on page 59

Creating a

Startup Disk

To create a startup disk to run a Microsoft Network client, you must have
the following:
Windows NT Server 4.0 CD-ROM
A blank MS-DOS system disk (3.5" high-density floppy disk)
Access to the Broadcom NDIS2 driver file (BXND20X.dos). This file is
located on the driver source media.
After creating the startup disk, follow the instructions in “Modifying the
Startup Disk” on page 59.
Note
Windows NT Server 4.0 users: When running Setup for Microsoft
Network Client v3.0 for MS-DOS, click any network card from the list
(NE2000 Compatible, for example) to create the startup disk.
To create a startup disk, do the following:
1. Create a folder called NCADMIN in the root of the C drive.
2. Copy the NCADMIN.CN_, NCADMIN.EX_, and NCADMIN.HL_ files
from the I386 folder on the Windows NT Server 4.0 CD-ROM.
3. Open a command prompt window and change the directory to
C:\NCADMIN.
4. Enter the following:
expand -r ncadmin.*
5. Close the command prompt window by typing exit and then pressing
Enter.
6. Start Windows Explorer.
