OS/2 NDIS 2 device driver using MPTS

Use the following procedure to install the OS/2 NDIS 2 device driver using the

Multiple Protocol Transport Services (MPTS).

1.When updating an existing device driver, error message X100035, which indicates that the driver could not be installed and the previous version could not be restored, can be prevented by performing the following steps before beginning the update. This is particularly useful when the existing driver was installed from the adapter CD-ROM.

v From an OS/2 window, go to the drive where OS/2 is installed. Change to the ibmcom subdirectory (where x is your drive letter):

x:

cd \ibmcom

vEnter the following two commands:

attrib -r ibmtrp.* /s attrib -r la1*.msg

2.Start MPTS by performing either of the following actions:

vFrom the OS/2 desktop, double-click the MPTS icon.

vFrom an OS/2 window, go into the ibmcom subdirectory and enter mpts at the OS/2 prompt.

3.Select OK on the MPTS logo panel.

4.Select Install. You will be prompted for the source of the .NIF file. Enter the path to the driver directory. Select OK once the Installation Complete message appears. You will return to the main menu.

5.Select Configure in the MPTS dialog box.

6.On the Configure panel, make sure that LAN adapters and protocols is preselected and then select Configure at the bottom of the panel.

7.In the Configuration panel, in the Network Adapters group box, select IBM Token-Ring PCI Family Adapter (IBMTRP.OS2) and select ADD.
