  MICROSOFT LAN MANAGER 2.1 DOS WORKSTATION INSTALLATION NOTES:
  FOR THE INTEL EtherExpress(tm) 16 FAMILY OF NETWORK ADAPTERS
  ============================================================

  This document applies to the EtherExpress(tm) 16, 16/TP, 16C, MCA,
  and MCA/TP.  It contains notes for installing the NDIS driver in a
  LAN Manager DOS workstation.  It does not explain how to configure an
  EtherExpress board.  For instructions about configuring the board,
  see either the Expert's Guide or the Complete Guide for your board.

  This document is also available on FaxBACK.  Document #6404.
 
 
  DOS WORKSTATIONS:
  -----------------
  1. To use the EtherExpress card in a DOS workstation, follow the
     standard installation procedure (Using the SETUP utility).  An
     EtherExpress driver is included with LAN Manager 2.1, but you must
     update that driver with the one the EtherExpress disk.

  2. Once you exit the SETUP utility, do NOT shutdown the computer.
     Verify that the I/O address in the Protocol.ini matches the I/O
     address of the board.  Refer to the "EDITING PROTOCOL.INI" section
     below for instructions on changing the I/O address.

  3. After exiting SETUP, reboot the computer as described in the
     manual.  If an error message is displayed, ensure that the board
     is installed properly and the I/O address in PROTOCOL.INI matches
     the board.  You may also run the Intel status-checking utility
     (described at the end of this file).


  EDITING PROTOCOL.INI:
  ---------------------
  LAN Manger uses the PROTOCOL.INI file to ensure that the driver and
  the board are configured to work together.  Our driver only "requires"
  one parameter, and its purpose is to ensure that the driver and the
  board are configured to use the same I/O address.  The parameter's
  name is IOADDRESS.  If a board is using an I/O address other than
  300h, you must edit the PROTOCOL.INI file located in the directory
  \LANMAN to change configuration of the driver.

  1. Using an ASCII editor, locate the EtherExpress section shown below:

     [EXP16_NIF]
        
     ; Intel EtherExpress(tm) 16 Ethernet Adapter.
        
     IOADDRESS=0x300
     DRIVERNAME=EXP16$

  2. Replace the I/O address with the address you selected when you
     ran SOFTSET for the EtherExpress 16 or the System Configuration
     utility for the EtherExpress MCA.

  3. Save the file and exit.

  The network driver now matches the configuration of the board and you
  should continue with the rebooting of the computer.


  STATUS-CHECKING UTILITY:
  ------------------------
  We provide a utility, EXPSTAT.EXE, that allows you to check the
  status of the driver.  The utility is located in the root directory
  of the EtherExpress disk:

  EXPSTAT will display:

  - The configuration of the board.
  If there are errors, the following information will be included:
  - The current status of the driver.
  - A list of all the types of errors, if any, that the board has
    experienced since the system was last booted.  To erase the record of
    error types, reboot the system.
