- IBM Lan Server Installation Tips
-
-
- This file contains instructions on installing NDIS drivers into IBM Lan
- Server v2.0 and v3.0 - OS/2 and DOS systems.
-
- Drive A:\ is referenced throughout this README file, substitute the driveid
- that this file was extracted onto if different.
-
- IBM LAN Server 3.0
- ------------------
-
- IBM LAN Server 3.0 contains an installer for both OS/2 (LAPS) and DOS
- (DXMAID). Both of these installation utilities fully support OEM network
- adapter driver import capability.
-
- DOS Installation
-
- Run the DXMAID installer from the IBM LAN Support diskette. Use the
- defaults from the first menu. The second menu prompts you to enter the
- drive and path for the import diskette. Remove the LAN Support diskette,
- put the 3Com EtherDisk diskette in the drive, and type A:\DOS for the
- drive and path. The installer will pause after it copies the files needed
- from the EtherDisk diskette. Place the LAN Support diskette back in the
- drive, and continue the installation.
-
- OS/2 Installation
-
- Run the LAPS installer from the LAN Adapter and Protocol diskette. From
- the second menu, select the Install option. LAPS then installs itself and
- other files, and returns to the second menu. Select Install again. On the
- next menu, LAPS prompts for a drive and path for installation. Remove the
- LAPS diskette and insert the EtherDisk diskette in the drive. Type
- A:\OS2 for the drive and path. LAPS will copy the needed files from
- the EtherDisk diskette. When the acknowledge message appears at the end of
- the copy, reinsert the LAPS diskette and continue with the installation.
-
- IBM LAN Server 2.0
- ------------------
-
- LAN Server 2.0 is not as sophisticated as LAN Server 3.0. Installation can
- be done successfully, but manual intervention is required. In all cases, the
- user is required to edit files. For OS/2, the E editor is fine. For DOS, use
- either EDLIN or EDIT.
-
- DOS Installation
-
- Run the DXMAID installer from the LAN Support diskette. Specify the
- Ethernet adapter installation from the menu. When DXMAID is completed, do
- the following to complete the installation.
-
- 1. Copy the EtherLink III NDIS driver to the hard disk. Type:
-
- COPY A:\DOS\ELNK3.DOS C:\LANMAN
-
- 2. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file.
-
- a. Change the line:
-
- device = \LANMAN\PROTMAN.DOS
-
- to
-
- device = \LANMAN\PROTMAN.DOS /I:\LANMAN
-
- b. Change the line:
-
- device = XX.DOS
-
- to
-
- device = \LANMAN\ELNK3.DOS
-
- c. Save the file and exit the editor.
-
- 3. Enter the LANMAN subdirectory. Type:
-
- CD LANMAN
-
- 4. Rename the PROTOCOL.INI file to save it. Type:
-
- REN PROTOCOL.INI PROTOCOL.OLD
-
- 5. Append the PROTOCOL.INI fragment from the 3Com EtherDisk diskette. Type:
-
- COPY PROTOCOL.OLD + A:\{path on EDISK}\PROTOCOL.INI PROTOCOL.INI
-
- 6. Edit the new PROTOCOL.INI file.
-
- a. Four lines after the line [ETHERNET], change the line:
-
- Bindings = IBMAC
-
- to
-
- Bindings = ELNK3
-
- b. Two lines before the line:
-
- ;3C509 3Com EtherLink III adapter
-
- change the blank line to
-
- [ELNK3]
-
- c. Save the file and exit the editor.
-
- The installation is complete. The LAN Support program activates the next
- time the machine boots.
-
- OS/2 Installation
-
- 1. Insert the IBM OS/2 Requester Diskette #1 and run the LAPS installation
- program. Select Advanced Installation on the second menu.
-
- 2. Insert the OS/2 Protocol and Drivers diskette when the prompt appears.
- After LAPS has completed copying the files from the Protocol and Drivers
- diskette, select the Copy Additional Drivers option from the next menu.
- The next menu prompts for the drive and path for the additional drivers.
-
- 3. Insert the EtherDisk diskette and type A:\OS2. LAPS copies the
- appropriate 3Com adapter files to the hard disk and returns to the
- options menu.
-
- 4. Select the Configure Workstation option. The next menu prompts for
- adapter and protocol options. In the adapters window, page down until
- the 3Com EtherLink Family OS/2 menu item appears. Select this item and
- continue the installation. When the installation is complete, exit the
- installer.
-
- The installer presents a message that the system needs to be rebooted for
- the changes to take effect. However, you must complete the following
- steps before you reboot the computer.
-
- 1. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file. After the line:
-
- device=C:\IBMCOM\PROTMAN.OS2
-
- insert the line:
-
- device=C:\IBMCOM\MACS\ELNK3.OS2
-
- 2. Save the file and exit the editor.
-
- 3. Reboot the computer, and the OS/2 requester will activate.
