- INSTALLATION NOTES:
-
- 1) To install all drivers into a Lan Manager Client,
- choose one of the following methods:
-
- a) use the SETUP program's "Import OEM Drivers" function to
- install the software into the "lanman" directory tree;
-
- b) transfer the files without using SETUP:
- - xcopy a:\mslanman.dos\*.* c:\lanman.dos\ /s
- - Run the SETUP program after copying the files to select a
- driver and update the CONFIG.SYS and PROTOCOL.INI files.
-
-
- COMMON PROBLEMS AND LIMITATIONS:
-
- Please call us if you find a problem or limitation.
-
- 1) "Bind failure due to a hardware configuration error". There are
- jumpers on the board which select which type of FDDI connection
- the board is to function as (A, B, S, M). It is also possible
- to "override" the jumper setting through the PROTOCOL.INI file.
- Refer to the user's manual for information about the jumpers.
-
- In either case, a mismatch or error is not detectable until the
- protocol stacks and the driver are "BOUND" and the network is
- started. The NDIS driver will return a configuration error to
- the protocol stack, the protocol stack MAY report that it cannot
- run, and the operating system may report a failure as well.
-
- If this situation occurs, make sure that the jumpers are correct,
- and that the PROTOCOL.INI values are correct, and that the FDDI
- station connected to the failing one supports the type that is
- being selected (some may reject M connections, for example).
-
- 2) If you select an interrupt which another device is using,
- an error is indicated when the driver(s) are started and they
- find that the interrupt is already enabled. This only occurs if
- the driver using the interrupt is loaded before the NDIS driver.
- If you experience problems communicating with a server and all
- other functions appear to work, you may have loaded a driver
- after the NDIS driver which took the interrupt away from NDIS.
