WARNING! Read this file to avoid setup problems
===============================================
Even if you're familiar with LANtastic and Windows 95, it's very important
to follow all the special installation and setup steps in this file - not just 
the on-screen instructions.

LANtastic Operability with Windows 95
=====================================
LANtastic V6.0 and LANtastic Power Suite have been tested and documented 
for operation with some limitations on systems running in the Windows 95
environment.  Artisoft has also worked closely with its customers and
resellers, and has determined that LANtastic will operate on Windows 95
systems under most circumstances.  We're aware of several 
configuration-dependent compatibility issues involved with running in the 
Windows 95 environment (such as incompatibilities encountered with certain 
hardware configurations, print drivers, disk drivers, and intermittent 
memory errors when printing graphics or large fonts). These are largely due 
to LANtastic running on Windows 95 in DOS emulation mode.

Free LANtastic 32-bit Client for Windows 95 Software
----------------------------------------------------
In early- to mid-October, Artisoft will provide a thoroughly tested and 
documented LANtastic 32-bit Client for Windows 95, which directly addresses 
compatibility issues.  This software will be available to all LANtastic,
LANtastic Power Suite and Simply LANtastic customers at no charge from our
World Wide Web server, CompuServe forum, BBS or FTP server.  The LANtastic
32-bit Client for Windows 95 will provide users who are adding Windows 95
platforms to their LANtastic networks or who are migrating existing
LANtastic workstations to Windows 95 with complete, 32-bit client access
to all resources on their LANtastic network.

At this time, Simply LANtastic, Home Network and LANtastic V5.0  aren't
supported on platforms running Windows 95. However, Windows 95 platforms
will be able to access these LANtastic versions' network resources using
the LANtastic 32-bit Client for Windows 95 software.

New LANtastic for Windows 95 Version
====================================
In early 1996, Artisoft will release a version of LANtastic that optimizes 
Windows 95 features and includes full 32-bit client and server LANtastic 
networking.  LANtastic continues to offer its hallmark ease of use, 
excellent security and scalability. It also gives you a drag-and-drop user 
interface, integration with DOS, Windows, OS/2 and Windows 95 platforms, as 
well as easy connectivity to existing Microsoft and Novell networks.

Special Offer
-------------
When LANtastic for Windows 95 is released, Artisoft will offer a special 
promotion for customers who have recently purchased LANtastic V6.0 or 
LANtastic Power Suite.  If you buy LANtastic V6.0 or LANtastic Power Suite 
between now and the time of the formal LANtastic for Windows 95 product 
announcement, you'll receive a substantial discount on conversions to new 
LANtastic for Windows 95 capabilities.  Pricing for these upgrades will be 
available within 60 days of product availability.

To run LANtastic or LANtastic Power Suite with Windows 95, you'll need a 
386DX33 with 8MB RAM minimum for workstations and a 486DX33 with 16MB RAM 
minimum for servers.  NodeRunner network adapter cards are recommended with 
LANtastic and Power Suite on Windows 95 platforms. 

USING THIS FILE
===============
This file contains important information about running LANtastic (R) V6.0 and
Microsoft (R) Windows (R) 95 on the same computer.   
 
The first two sections are intended for all LANtastic V6.0 users. You'll need 
to read through these sections before you begin installing LANtastic or 
Windows 95:  
 
* In the first section, you'll find general guidelines and explanations of 
  some of the limitations of running LANtastic with Windows 95.  

* In the second section, you'll find information about the downloadable files 
  you need to run LANtastic V6.0 with Windows 95. These files are available
  along with the latest version of this text file on Artisoft's on-line
  support services. If you haven't already downloaded these files,
  you'll save time later if you do so before you begin installing your
  software.
  
The next two sections contain setup instructions for the following scenarios:  
 
* Installing LANtastic V6.0 on a computer that's already running Windows 95.  

* Installing Windows 95 on a computer that's already running LANtastic V6.0. 
  If the computer is DOS-only, refer to the instructions in the section titled
  "Installing Windows 95 on a LANtastic DOS-only computer."

The final sections provide problem-solving information: 

* If you have problems running LANtastic V6.0 and Windows 95, refer first to 
  the "Troubleshooting" section.

* If the problems persist after you've worked through the "Troubleshooting" 
  section, refer to the final section of this file, "Calling Technical 
  Support."

RUNNING LANTASTIC V6.0 WITH WINDOWS 95
======================================
This section provides general guidelines and other information about installing 
and using LANtastic V6.0 with Windows 95. To ensure your network setup will be 
able to meet all your needs, it's best to consider these guidelines before you 
begin installing software.  
  
NOTE:  Updated guidelines are available on Artisoft's on-line support services.
       For more information, refer to the section "Downloading the files you
       need" later in this file.

Installation issues
-------------------
* The LANtastic network operating system won't function correctly with the 
  Windows 95 networking components. This means that in order to use LANtastic, 
  you'll have to disable Windows 95 networking, as described in the setup 
  instructions later in this file.
  
* LANtastic's SMB- and NCP-client support features won't function correctly 
  under Windows 95. This means: 
   
   * If you're installing LANtastic on a computer that's already running 
     Windows 95, you must not select any of the Client to... features.
   
   * If you're installing Windows 95 on a computer that's already running 
     LANtastic with any Client to... features enabled, you must reinstall 
     LANtastic and disable these features before running the Windows 95 
     Setup program.  

* Exchange Mail and Scheduler won't function correctly under Windows 95.
     
Creating and canceling network connections  
------------------------------------------
* Always use LANtastic's Net program to create or cancel network connections 
  on a Windows 95 computer. Don't use the Windows 95 Explorer.  

* When you use the Net program to create or cancel connections, the changes 
  you make won't appear under Windows 95 Explorer's All Folders list until 
  you open the View menu and select the Refresh option.  

Sharing CD-ROM drives
---------------------
* On a Windows 95 computer, when you have a CD-ROM drive that's using 
  Windows 95's CDFS driver software, the CD-ROM drive won't appear in 
  LANtastic Net's Drive Connections screen. (The connection will appear under
  Windows 95 Explorer.) You'll need to remember not to use the drive letter 
  that's connected to the CD-ROM drive to make any other drive connections.

* If you want to share a CD-ROM drive on your Windows 95 computer across the 
  network and you're using Windows 95's CDFS driver software, you must make 
  sure DOS is specified as the drive type on the LANtastic Network Manager 
  Resource Parameters screen. If you're using another CD-ROM driver, such as 
  MSCDEX.EXE, make sure CD-ROM is specified as the drive type.  
  
Sharing files on the network
---------------------------- 
* Windows 95 supports the use of long filenames. Using LANtastic, you'll be
  able to open, create, copy and execute these files, which will appear in a 
  truncated "8.3" DOS format.

* A LANtastic V6.0 server can share a maximum of only 255 files under Windows 
  95. (This is the maximum value that can be set on the FILES= line of the 
  computer's CONFIG.SYS file.)

* On a LANtastic V6.0 workstation, each of your 32-bit Windows 95
  applications will, by default, be able to open only 15 files across the
  network. If you need to open more than 15 files in one application, see
  the section titled "Using MOREFILE.EXE" later in this file.

Using shared printers
---------------------
The first time you want to print across the network from a Windows 95 
workstation to a shared printer, you must complete the Add Printer process 
for a network printer, as described in your Windows 95 documentation.  

LANtastic pop-up messages
------------------------- 
LANtastic pop-up messages - for example, a warning of a server that's going 
to shut down - won't appear under Windows 95.

Shutting down Windows 95 or SERVER
----------------------------------
Because LANtastic pop-up messages won't appear under Windows 95, make sure 
you check that nobody is using any files on your computer BEFORE you shut 
down Windows 95 or the LANtastic SERVER program.
 

DOWNLOADING THE FILES YOU NEED 
==============================
Whether you're planning to install LANtastic V6.0 on a Windows 95 computer or 
vice versa, you need to download WIN95NOS.EXE from one of Artisoft's on-line
support services. This self-extracting file contains three files: the latest
version of this text file, LANTASTI.INF and MOREFILE.EXE.  To use this file,
copy it to your LANtastic installation directory (usually C:\LANTASTI).
At the DOS prompt, at the LANtastic installation directory, type
WIN95NOS.EXE. Then continue with the instructions in this file.

The LANTASTI.INF file contains settings that Windows 95 needs to work with 
LANtastic. You'll need this file when you're installing LANtastic V6.0 on a 
Windows 95 computer. You may need this file if you're installing Windows 95 on 
a LANtastic V6.0 computer. If you'll be installing software at a number of
computers, you may find it more convenient if you copy the LANTASTI.INF file
to a floppy disk.

MOREFILE.EXE is a terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) program that increases 
the number of files on a LANtastic network server that can be opened by a
workstation's 32-bit Windows 95 applications across the network. For
information about using MOREFILE.EXE, refer to the section titled
"Using MOREFILE.EXE" later in this file. Be sure you use MOREFILE.EXE only
if you need to open more than 15 files in any one application.

If you haven't already done so, it's recommended that you download
WIN95NOS.EXE before you begin to install your new LANtastic or Windows 95
software. This file is available on the following services:

   * The Arti-Facts(SM) electronic bulletin board service (BBS).
   * Artisoft's CompuServe(R) forum.
   * Artisoft's Anonymous FTP Server on the Internet.
     
For information about using these services, refer to your LANtastic manuals 
or to the Directory of Technical Support Services that came in your LANtastic 
package.

NOTE:  You may want to check for updated information about running
       LANtastic V6.0 with Windows 95. You can do this through the
       Artisoft Home Page on the World Wide Web and via Artisoft's
       FaxReturn(SM) electronic facsimile system (download document
       number 458).

INSTALLING LANTASTIC V6.0 ON A WINDOWS 95 COMPUTER
==================================================
This section explains how to install LANtastic V6.0 on a computer that's 
already running Windows 95. 

After you've completed the setup steps here, you can use LANtastic in much the 
same way you would on a computer running Windows or Windows for Workgroups. 
However, there will be some limitations. If you haven't already done so, 
refer to the section "Running LANtastic V6.0 with Windows 95" earlier in this 
file for detailed information. Do this before you begin installing your 
software.  

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

   EXCEPTIONS: 
   
   * At the Select all that apply screen, don't select any of the Client to... 
     options. LANtastic's SMB- and NCP-client support features won't function 
     correctly under Windows 95.   
   
   * After you've worked through the installation screens, the file-copying 
     process may take a few minutes.
   
   * At the Artisoft Install Message screen, when the Installation Complete 
     message appears, choose Cancel. DO NOT CHOOSE OK TO RESTART THE 
     COMPUTER.         
   
   * At the Artisoft Install Choice screen, choose Yes to exit the installation 
     program.   

NOTE:  If you do restart the computer at the Artisoft Install Message screen, 
       a DOS warning screen appears. Refer to the steps in the
       "Troubleshooting" section later in this file.
   
   * If a message screen appears warning that the Install program has 
     performed an illegal operation, ignore it. Simply choose Close.    

7. At the Windows 95 desktop, choose the Start button and select Settings, 
   then Control Panel. Locate and double-click on the Network icon to bring 
   up the Network window.   

8. In the network components field, under the Configuration tab, highlight

   Network Client window appears.   

11.Choose the Have Disk button, then specify the path to the LANTASTI.INF 
   file you downloaded from one of Artisoft's on-line support services (see
   the section "Downloading the files you need" earlier in this file). To do 
   this, complete one of the following steps:  
   
   * If you copied the file to a floppy diskette, insert the diskette into one 
     of the computer's floppy drives, then type A:\ where A: is the drive 
     where you placed the diskette. Then choose OK.   
   
   * If you copied the file to the computer's hard drive, type C:\ then choose 
     OK.   

12.The Select Network Client window appears, showing Artisoft LANtastic 
   (version 6.0 and above). Choose OK. The Network window appears again, 
   showing that Artisoft LANtastic is the only network component installed. 
   Choose OK again.

13.If a message screen appears warning that you must provide computer 
   and workgroup names to identify the computer on the network, choose OK. 
   The Network window reappears. Select the Identification tab and type in a 
   computer name, workgroup name and computer description. You can type 
   anything in these fields. (LANtastic doesn't use this information.) Then 
   choose OK.

14.After a Copying Files window appears, a message screen appears prompting 
   you to insert the Artisoft LANtastic Windows driver disk. You can ignore 
   this message. Simply choose OK. Another Copying Files window appears.   

15.The second Copying files window warns that the LANTASTI.386 file could 
   not be found. LANTASTI.386 is in the directory where you installed 
   LANtastic (by default, C:\LANTASTI). In the Copy files from field, specify 
   the directory where the LANtastic files were installed, then choose OK.

16.If you're prompted to insert your Windows 95 CD-ROM or one of your Windows 
   95 diskettes, do so and choose OK to return to a Copying Files window. 
   Then complete one of the following steps:
   
   * If you inserted the Windows 95 CD-ROM, type D:\WIN95 where D: is the 
     drive where you placed the CD-ROM. Then choose OK.
   
   * If you inserted a Windows 95 diskette, type A:\ where A: is the drive 
     where you placed the diskette. Then choose OK.

17.When the System Settings Change dialog box appears, choose No. DO NOT 
   RESTART THE COMPUTER.

18.Use a text editor to open the SYSTEM.INI file in the WINDOWS directory. 
   To use the Windows 95 Notepad, for example, choose the Start button from 
   the taskbar, select Run, type SYSTEM.INI and choose OK. When you've 
   opened the file, locate the [386Enh] section and make sure the NETWORK= ...
   line appears as:   

              NETWORK=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\LANTASTI.386
   
   Save your changes and exit the file.

19.Using a text editor, open the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and complete the 
   following steps:  
   
   * Make sure the command that runs LANtastic - by default, this is 
     CALL  C:\LANTASTI\STARTNET.BAT - appears after the PATH... line.  
   
   * If you're using a CD-ROM drive, make sure the command line that runs 
     your CD-ROM software appears after the CALL ... line. You can find the   
     CD-ROM command line by reading your CD-ROM drive documentation. For most 
     CD-ROM drives this line contains the program MSCDEX.EXE 

NOTE:  These instructions may differ from the CD-ROM manufacturer's guidelines.
       However, with LANtastic you must run the CD-ROM software in the
       sequence described above.
   
   * Save any changes and exit the file.

   Start button from the taskbar, select Shutdown, then Restart.

21.If a message appears informing you that the Program Manager is being 
   updated, choose OK.
   
When the Windows 95 desktop reappears, you'll see LANtastic Net minimized in 
the taskbar.   
 
NOTE:  If LANtastic Net doesn't appear in the taskbar, or the network 
       doesn't function correctly, refer to the "Troubleshooting" section
       later in this file.

Installing Windows 95 on a LANtastic DOS-only computer
======================================================
The instructions for installing Windows 95 on a computer that's already running 
LANtastic V6.0 assume the computer is already running Windows 3.X or Windows 
for Workgroups. If the computer is DOS-only: 
  
1. Make sure no LANtastic programs are running by using the /REMOVE switch.
   For example, type SERVER  /REMOVE <Enter> to make sure the SERVER program
   isn't running.

2. Do the same to remove REDIR, AILANBIO (if you're using it), and your 
   network adapter driver. For example, if you're using a NodeRunner (TM) 
   adapter, you'd type NR  /REMOVE <Enter>.

3. Install Windows 95 according to the instructions in your Windows 95
   documentation.   

4. After you've installed Windows 95, reinstall LANtastic V6.0 according to 
   the instructions in the previous section "Installing LANtastic V6.0 on
   a Windows 95 computer."

INSTALLING WINDOWS 95 ON A LANTASTIC V6.0 COMPUTER 
==================================================
This section explains how to install Windows 95 on a computer that's already 
running LANtastic V6.0. 

When you've completed the setup steps here, you can use LANtastic in much the 
same way you would on a computer running Windows or Windows for Workgroups. 
However, there will be some limitations. If you haven't already done so, refer 
to the section "Running LANtastic V6.0 with Windows 95" earlier in this file 
for detailed information. Do this before you begin installing your software. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Be sure to follow all of the setup instructions in this section carefully. 
Don't follow the on-screen instructions. To keep track of your progress, you 
may want to check off each step as you complete it.   
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE:  These instructions assume the computer is running Windows 3.X or
       Windows for Workgroups. (Whichever is the case, the setup steps are
       the same.) If the computer is DOS-only, refer to the previous section
       "Installing Windows 95 on a DOS-only computer."
   
1. If you haven't already done so:  
   
   * Download the WIN95NOS.EXE file from one of Artisoft's on-line support
     services. (See the section "Downloading the files you need" earlier in
     this file.)
   
   * Make sure you know the directory where LANtastic was installed on this 
     computer (by default, this is C:\LANTASTI). As you work through these 
     steps, you'll need to type in the path to the LANTASTI.386 network 
     driver file in your LANtastic directory.

2. Exit Windows and check that the LANtastic network is running but the 
   SERVER program isn't. To do this, at the DOS prompt type 
	 
	 NET  SHOW  |MORE <Enter> 
   
   where "|" is the pipe character (Shift+\). Then complete one of the 
   following steps:  
   
   * If you see the line "Machine [name] is being used as a Redirector and 
     a Server," type SERVER  /REMOVE <Enter>. Then skip to step 3 below.  
   
   * If you see the line "Machine [name] is being used as a Redirector" (but 
     there's no mention of Server), simply go to step 3 below.
   
   * If you see the message "ERROR: LANtastic (R) Redirector (REDIR) must be 
     installed" or "Bad Command or file name," type 
	  
	  CD  LANTASTI <Enter> 
	  STARTNET <Enter>
	  SERVER  /REMOVE <Enter>
     
     Then complete step 3.

3. Use a text editor such as Windows Notepad to edit the batch file that runs 
   the LANtastic SERVER program (usually this is STARTNET.BAT). When you've 
   opened this file, type REM and a space at the beginning of the SERVER... 
   line so it appears as REM  SERVER... Save your changes and exit the file. 
   This ensures that if the Windows 95 Setup program stalls and you have to 
   restart the computer, the LANtastic SERVER program won't run. If you don't 
   find a line that begins with either SERVER or LH SERVER, exit the file and 
   continue with step 4.  

4. At the DOS prompt type WIN <Enter> to restart Windows.

5. If you're installing Windows 95 from the Windows 95 CD-ROM, load it into 
   the computer's CD-ROM drive. If you're installing from diskettes, insert a 
   working copy of the first diskette in one of the computer's floppy drives.

6. Exit all Windows applications, including LANtastic Net, then open the File 
   menu and choose Run. Type D:\SETUP where D: is the drive where you 
   placed the CD-ROM or the first diskette. Then choose OK.   

7. Follow the installation instructions in your Windows 95 documentation, 
   selecting any options you require WITH THE FOLLOWING EXCEPTIONS:

   * At the Choose Directory screen, it's a good idea to accept the default 
     installation location. (By default Windows 95 installs to the existing 
     WINDOWS directory.) If you specify a different installation directory, 
     you'll have to update all of the computer's configuration files by 
     reinstalling LANtastic.
   
   * At the Get Connected screen, don't select any of the three options (The 
     Microsoft Network, Microsoft Mail, or Microsoft Fax). If you want to use 
     these features, you can enable them later after you've completed the 
     instructions in this section.
   
   * At the Windows Components screen, select the Install the most common 
     components... option.
   
   * If an Identification window appears prompting you to supply a computer 
     name, workgroup name and computer description, you can type anything in 
     these fields. (LANtastic doesn't use this information.) Then choose OK.   
   
   * If a Network window appears warning that LANtastic can't be installed 
     together with Client for Microsoft Networks, ignore it. Simply choose OK.  
   
   * If a Network window appears, warning that Setup hasn't fully detected 
     your network adapter settings, ignore it. Simply choose OK.
   
   * If you're prompted to insert the Artisoft LANtastic Windows driver 
     disk, simply choose OK. Then type in the path to the LANTASTI.386 
     network driver file. LANTASTI.386 is in the directory where LANtastic 
     was installed; by default, C:\LANTASTI. Choose OK again.
   
   * At the Finishing Setup screen, choose the Finish button to restart the 
     computer. If the computer seems to lock up, turn it off then on again 
     and complete the Windows 95 Setup Safe Recovery process.  

8. If you edited a batch file that runs the LANtastic SERVER program at step 3 
   above, use a text editor to open that file. Then delete REM and the space 
   you added at the beginning of the SERVER... line. Save your changes and 
   exit the file.

9. Restart the computer. To do this, at the Windows 95 desktop, choose the 
   Start button from the taskbar, select Shutdown, then Restart.
   
When the Windows 95 desktop reappears, you'll see LANtastic Net minimized in 
the taskbar.

NOTE:  If LANtastic Net doesn't appear in the taskbar, or the network doesn't 
function correctly, refer to the troubleshooting steps in the next section.

Using MOREFILE.EXE
==================
  On a LANtastic V6.0  workstation, each of your 32-bit Windows 95
  applications will, by default, be able to open only 15 files across the 
  network. If you need to open more than 15 files in one application,
  you can use use Artisoft's MOREFILE.EXE terminate-and-stay-resident
  (TSR) program to allow your workstation's Windows 95 applications to open
  a combined total of 255 files across the network. However, some computers 
  aren't compatible with MOREFILES.EXE, so don't use this application 
  unless your workstation must have more than 15 files open in one application.

  MOREFILE.EXE is included in WIN95NOS.EXE, which you can download from
  one of Artisoft's on-line support services. For more information about 
  using these services, see the section "Downloading the files you need"
  earlier in this file. After you've downloaded this program, complete the
  following steps at your workstation(s) to allow yourself to open more than
  15 files in the same application:  

  1. Copy MOREFILE.EXE to the directory where LANtastic is installed (by 
     default C:\LANTASTI).   

  2. Use a text editor to open the computer's AUTOEXEC.BAT file. 

  3. Add the following line after the line that calls the STARTNET.BAT file 
     that runs LANtastic:  

              MOREFILE  /HANDLES=handles  /TASKS=tasks

     where "handles" is the number of files you want each Windows 95 
     application to be able to open across the network, and "tasks" is the 
     maximum number of Windows 95 applications you expect to be running 
     at the same time plus 5. (Windows 95 requires 5 tasks to run.)  

  4. Save your changes and exit the file.  

  5. Make sure the FILES=... line of the computer's CONFIG.SYS file is set to 
     the maximum combined total of files you'll want to open across the 
     network (the maximum value is 255).  

NOTE:  You can use LANtastic's  /REMOVE switch to remove MOREFILE.EXE, 
       if required.

TROUBLESHOOTING
===============
When you restart the computer after installing LANtastic V6.0, 
you receive a series of DOS warning messages.
-------------------------------------------------------------
If you're installing LANtastic V6.0 on a computer that's already running 
Windows 95 and you restart the computer when the Installation Complete 
message appears, a series of DOS warning messages appear, beginning with 
"Cannot find a device file that may be needed to run Windows or a Windows 
application." To continue with the setup process, you'll need to reboot the 
computer using a bootable system diskette. To do this, complete the following 
steps:  

1. Insert the boot diskette into one of the computer's floppy drives, then 
   press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart the computer.   
   
2. At the C:\> prompt, type:   
       
       CD  \WINDOWS\COMMAND <Enter>  
       EDIT  \WINDOWS\SYSTEM.INI <Enter>

3. In the SYSTEM.INI file, locate the [386Enh] section. Modify the 
   NETWORK= ... line so it appears as 
   
       NETWORK=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\LANTASTI.386

4. Save your changes and exit the file.

5. At the Windows 95 desktop, continue the setup process starting with step 7 
   in the section "Installing LANtastic V6.0 on a Windows 95 computer" earlier
   in this file.

LANtastic Net doesn't appear in the Windows 95 taskbar, or 
the network doesn't function correctly.
----------------------------------------------------------
1.  Make sure that Artisoft LANtastic is the only network component installed. 
    To do this:

    * At the Windows 95 desktop, choose the Start button and select Settings, 
      then Control Panel. Double-click on the Network icon to bring up the 
      Network window.
    
    * If Artisoft LANtastic (version 6.0 and above) is the only entry in the 
      network components field, go to step 2.
    
    * If the network components field is empty, or includes entries other than
      Artisoft LANtastic (version 6.0 and above), repeat steps 8 - 16 in the
      section "Installing LANtastic V6.0 on a Windows 95 computer" earlier
      in this file.

2.  Using the Windows 95 Explorer, locate the LANTASTI.386 file and the 
    LANTNET.DRV file. Make a note of the full paths to these files. Then use a 
    text editor to open the SYSTEM.INI file in the Windows directory. To use 
    the Windows 95 Notepad, for example, choose the Start button from the 
    taskbar, select Run, type SYSTEM.INI and choose OK. When you've opened 
    the file, complete the following steps:   
    
    * Locate the [boot] section and make sure the NETWORK DRV=... line 
      specifies the correct path to the LANTNET.DRV file. If it doesn't, type 
      in the correct path.  
    
    * Locate the [386Enh] section and make sure the NETWORK= ... line 
      specifies the correct path to the LANTASTI.386 file. If it doesn't, type 
      in the correct path. 
    
    * Make sure the *VNETBIOS driver doesn't appear in the NETWORK= ... line. 
      If this driver appears, delete it.
    
    * Save any changes and exit the file.

3.  Restart the computer. To do this, at the Windows 95 desktop, choose the
    Start button from the taskbar, select Shutdown, then Restart.

4.  If LANtastic Net doesn't appear in the taskbar when the Windows 95 desktop 
    reappears:  
    
    * Open the Network window, as described in step 1, select the Artisoft 
      LANtastic (version 6.0 and above) entry and choose the Remove button to 
      delete it from the network components field.   
    
    * Complete steps 9 - 16 in the section "Installing LANtastic V6.0 on a 
      Windows 95 computer" earlier in this file. Then restart the computer.   

You have problems printing, using CD-ROM drives or 
performing other network functions.
--------------------------------------------------
If you have problems printing to a network printer, using CD-ROM drives, 
creating or canceling network connections, or sharing files across the network, 
refer to the general guidelines in the section "Running LANtastic V6.0 with 
Windows 95" earlier in this file.
