Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet NDIS 2 
           MAC Driver for DEC PATHWORK Installation
         ============================================

The drivers named NCNDIS contained in the \NDIS2DOS
directory 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. Type 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. Select
   "NO." If you are using an LK250 keyboard choose "YES."

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 directory location of your NDIS driver in
    the driver diskette. For example,
    type the following:

    A:\NDIS2DOS\NCNDIS.DOS

13. When prompted, indicate the directory location of the
    PROTOCOL.INI file in the MXIC adapter driver diskette.
    For example, type the following:

    A:\NDIS2DOS

14. Select "WRITE KEY DISK" to save the settings that you have
    chosen. When prompted to copy the MXNICF.DOS and PROTOCOL.INI
    files, insert the driver program diskette into
    drive 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 in the new [NCNDIS.DOS] section,
    matches the NI_IRQ value in the [DATALINK] statement.
