Installing the NDIS2 Driver Software on MS-DOS Platforms

Creating a Startup Disk

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

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.

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.
