The drivers named FastNIC contained in the \NDIS subdirectory of your Driver
Diskette conform to the Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) 
defined by Microsoft/3Com.


Installation Procedure
======================

1. Insert the DEC PATHWORKS Client Setup diskette #1 into your floppy drive
   (either A: or B:).

2. At the prompt, type the following and press <Enter> to bring up the
   startup menu:

         A:>NETSETUP          <Enter>

3. You'll be asked if your keyboard type is LK250. If you are using an
   LK250 keyboard choose "YES". Otherwise, choose "NO". 

4. Next, you'll be prompted to choose a transport option.  Select the
   "DECNET transport option" and press <Enter> to proceed.

5. Your system will prompt you to insert the DNET TRNSPRT diskette#1 into
   your floppy drive. Follow screen instructions.

6. Then you'll be prompted to specify a destination drive.  Type C: or D:

7. When asked if you are creating an initial workstation diskette, select 
   "NO".

8. Type in the node name and address(i.e., node number) in the corresponding
   field. Then press <Enter>.

9. Type in the server node name and address (i.e., node number) in the
   corresponding field. Then press <Enter>.

10. When asked to "Select the network adapter type:" choose Ethernet.

11. When prompted to "Select the network adapter:" choose "Other NDIS."

12. Indicate the subdirectory location of your NDIS driver in the Fast 
    Ethernet Controller Provider Driver Diskette. For example, type the
    following:

         A:\NDIS\DOS\FastNIC.DOS
    or
         A:\MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\Fast\FastNIC\FastNIC.DOS

13. When prompted, indicate the subdirectory location of the PROTOCOL.INI
    file in the Fast Ethernet Controller Provider Driver Diskette.
    For example, type the following:

         A:\NDIS\DOS\
    or
         A:\MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\Fast\FastNIC\

14. Select "WRITE KEY DISK" to save the settings that you have chosen.  When
    prompted to copy the FastNIC.DOS and PROTOCOL.INI files, insert the Fast
    Ethernet Controller Provider Driver Diskette into your floppy drive.

15. Follow screen instructions to complete the installation.

16. From the Configuration screen, press F10 to exit to C:\.

17. Edit the PROTOCOL.INI file from the DECNET subdirectory.  Remove the
    semicolon (;) from the statement "NI_IRQ = 5" under the [DATALINK] 
    section.

18. Make sure that the IRQ value used in FastNIC.DOS driver, matches the 
    NI_IRQ value in the [DATALINK] statement.
