a. for PATHWORKS 5.0:

NDIS DRIVER PATH: A:\

NDIS DRIVER FILE: M32ANDIS.EXE

NDIS DRIVER NAME: INTEL$

b. for PATHWORKS 5.1:

DRIVER FILE: A:\M32ANDIS.EXE

PROTOCOL.INI STUB: A:\DEC\PROTOCOL.INI

c. for PATHWORKS 6.0:

DRIVER FILE: A:\M32ANDIS.EXE

PROTOCOL.INI STUB: A:\DEC\PROTOCOL.INI

Skip the Additional Files section.

12Insert the Intel Network Drivers Disk when prompted.
