- Installing D-Link network adapters for MS Windows for Workgroups
- ================================================================
-
- D-Link network adapters are supplied with a driver disk which includes the
- NDIS driver. The NDIS driver file naming convention used by D-Link is
- <NICtype.DOS>, where NICtype stands for DE100, DE200, DE220, and etc.
-
- The D-Link NDIS driver programs for DOS are developed following Microsoft
- NDIS specification version 2.0.1. This document is a detailed step-by-step
- installation procedure for using D-Link network adapters with MS Windows
- for Workgroups operating system.
-
- Naming Conventions
- ==================
-
- Starting at this point, we will refer to Windows for Workgroups as
- WFW for simplicity. Any appearance of WFW within this text will refer
- to the Microsoft Windows for Workgroups operating system.
-
- Installation Procedures
- =======================
-
- 1. Preinstall WFW using the included Novell NE2000 compatible driver. WFW
- will generate a default PROTOCOL.INI and CONFIG.SYS file using the
- selected NE2000 network driver.
-
- 2. You must modify the generated PROTOCOL.INI and CONFIG.SYS files using
- any text editor. (i.e. MSDOS EDIT)
-
- --------- modify PROTOCOL.INI ----------
-
- 3. The PROTOCOL.INI file will have multiple references to the "ms$ne2clone"
- name. Change all occurrences of this name to "D-Link". In a standard
- PROTOCOL.INI, there should be a total of 7 replacements.
-
- There would be 4 replacements in the [network.setup] section. Please
- take note of the following lines in [network.setup] section,
- netcard=...
- lana0=...
- lana1=...
-
- There will be a [ms$ne2clone] section. This should also be changed to
- [D-Link].
-
- In both [MS$NETBEUI] and [MS$IPX] sections, there will be a BINDINGS=
- command line. The BINDINGS command must be bound to "D-Link".
-
- 4. There will also be a reference to "ms2000$" in the [D-Link] section
- which needs to be changed to the D-Link NIC type name. (i.e. DE100$,
- DE200$, DE220$, DE300$, DE320$, DE400$, DE600$, DE620$, DE650$, etc.)
-
- 5. In the [D-Link] section, the "IOBASE" keyword must be changed to
- "IOADDRESS".
-
- The succeeding pages include working sample of CONFIG.SYS and PROTOCOL.
- INI files for WFW using D-Link DE-220 network adapter.
-
- --------- modify CONFIG.SYS ----------
-
- 6. Your CONFIG.SYS will have the following statement for loading the
- "ms2000.DOS" device driver.
-
- DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\MS2000.DOS
-
- Change this line to load the appropriate D-Link NDIS device driver
- of your network adapter. Using D-Link DE-220 adapter, the line would
- appear as,
-
- DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\DE220.DOS
-
- Note: You would have to copy the appropriate D-Link NDIS driver to
- your WFW directory. (i.e. C:\WINDOWS)
-
-
- D-Link NDIS PROTOCOL.INI User Guide
- ===================================
-
- This guide lists the available PROTOCOL.INI keywords for all
- D-Link NDIS device drivers. Most of the keywords are optional
- and have default values. The asterisk symbol (*) indicates the
- list of D-Link adapters where the keyword is applicable.
-
- IOADDRESS - This keyword specifies the base I/O port address used
- by the D-Link Network Interface Card. This value must
- match the base I/O address jumper setting on your NIC.
- If this keyword is not present, the default value will
- be 300h.
- *all D-Link network adapters
-
- INTERRUPT - This keyword specifies the interrupt line used by the
- D-Link NIC. This value must match the IRQ jumper setting
- on your NIC. If this keyword is not present, the default
- value will be 3.
- *all D-Link network adapters
-
- DRIVERNAME- This keyword specifies the NIC driver's name. The NIC
- driver name follows the NIC adapter type. (i.e. DE100,
- DE200, DE220, etc.)
- *all D-Link network adapters
-
- PRINTPORT - This keyword specifies the printer port used by your
- D-Link Pocket LAN Adapter.
- *DE-600, DE-620
-
- BASEMEMORY- This keyword specifies the mapped memory address used
- by the D-Link NIC. This value must match the base
- memory jumper setting on your NIC. Base memory will
- only be in effect if the remote boot ROM jumper is
- enabled.
- *DE-100, DE-200
-
- ADAPTERID - This keyword specifies the adapter ID used by D-Link
- MCA bus card. This value must match the card ID jumper
- setting on your MCA adapter.
- *DE-300, DE-320
-
- NETADDRESS- This keyword specifies the node address (hex) used by
- your network interface card. This option is used only
- if you want to override the node address burned in your
- NIC. In this case, the specified address will be used
- instead of the NIC's actual node address.
- *all D-Link network adapters
