This file explains how to update network software files for the following
networks:

1. Microsoft LAN Manager Version 2.0 Enhanced and 100-Percent Compatible
   Networks

2. Microsoft LAN Manager Version 2.0 Basic and 100-Percent Compatible
   Networks

3. Microsoft LAN Manager Version 1.x Enhanced and 100-Percent Compatible
   Networks

4. Microsoft LAN Manager Version 1.x Basic and 100-Percent Compatible
   Networks

5. Microsoft MS-Net and 100-Percent Compatible Networks

6. 3Com 3+Share Version 1.6

Find the section below that corresponds to your network software.

NOTE If you have a LAN Manager or 100-percent compatible network, and you
are unsure of which version you are using, type NET CONFIG WORKSTATION
at the command prompt. If you see information about your configuration,
you have an Enhanced version. This information indicates whether you
have Enhanced version 2.0 or Enhanced version 1.x.

If you receive an error message when you type the command, you have a
Basic version. To find out whether you have Basic version 2.0 or Basic
version 1.x, check the creation dates of the files in your LAN
Manager directory (typically C:\LANMAN.DOS\BASIC). If the files
are dated before July 1990, you have version 1.x. Files dated after
July 1990 are typically version 2.0.

1. Microsoft LAN Manager Version 2.0 Enhanced and 100-Percent Compatible
   Networks
========================================================================

To update LAN Manager version 2.0 Enhanced, replace your current
NETWKSTA.EXE and NETBEUI.DOS files with the new versions included
with the MS-DOS 6 Supplemental disks. It's a good idea to preserve
your current files by renaming them with a different extension,
such as .OLD or .BAK.

To update LAN Manager version 2.0 Enhanced:

1. Run the Setup program from the drive and directory that contains
   your Supplemental disk files and specify the drive and directory
   to which you want to install your files.

   For example, if your Supplemental disk is in drive A, and you want
   to install the files on drive C in your SUPP directory, type A: at the
   command prompt, and then type the following:

   SETUP C:\SUPP

2. When the Setup program starts, choose A if you want install the
   Supplemental disk files. Choose S if you want to install some
   of the files--for example, just the network files.

   If you choose to install some of the files, Setup will prompt
   you to install groups of files, including the MS-DOS 6 Network
   drivers.

3. After Setup finishes installing the Network files, rename these
   original network files to back them up:

   NETWKSTA.EXE (usually in C:\LANMAN.DOS\NETPROG)
   NETBEUI.DOS (usually in C:\LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\PROTOCOL\NETBEUI)

4. Copy new version of NETBEUI.DOS to the same drive and directory as
   the old version of the file.

5. Copy the new NETWKSTA.2XE file to the same drive and directory as
   the old NETWKSTA.EXE file. Rename the new file to NETWKSTA.EXE.

6. Restart your computer. Or, if you have not installed MS-DOS 6,
   run Setup now.

2. Microsoft LAN Manager Version 2.0 Basic and 100-Percent Compatible
   Networks
=====================================================================

To update LAN Manager version 2.0 Basic, replace your current
REDIR.EXE, NET.EXE, and NETBEUI.DOS files with the new versions
included with the MS-DOS 6 Supplemental disks. It's a good idea to
preserve your current files by renaming them with a different
extension, such as .OLD or .BAK.

To update LAN Manager version 2.0 Basic:

1. Run the Setup program from the drive and directory that contains
   your Supplemental disk files and specify the drive and directory
   to which you want to install your files.

   For example, if your Supplemental disk is in drive A, and you want
   to install the files on drive C in your SUPP directory, type A: at the
   command prompt, and then type the following:

   SETUP C:\SUPP

2. When the Setup program starts, choose A if you want install the
   Supplemental disk files. Choose S if you want to install some
   of the files--for example, just the network files.

   If you choose to install some of the files, Setup will prompt
   you to install groups of files, including the MS-DOS 6 Network
   drivers.

3. After Setup finishes installing the Network files, rename these
   original network files to back them up:

   REDIR.EXE (usually in C:\LANMAN.DOS\REDIR)
   NET.EXE (usually in C:\LANMAN.DOS\BASIC)
   NETBEUI.DOS (usually in C:\LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\PROTOCOL\NETBEUI)

4. Copy new version of NETBEUI.DOS to the same drive and directory as
   the old version of the file.

5. Copy the new REDIR.2XE file to the same drive and directory as
   the old REDIR.EXE file. Rename the new file to REDIR.EXE.

6. Copy the new NET.1XE file to the same drive and directory as
   the old NET.EXE file. Rename the new file to NET.EXE.

7. Restart your computer. Or, if you have not installed MS-DOS 6,
   run Setup now.

3. Microsoft LAN Manager Version 1.x Enhanced and 100-Percent Compatible
   Networks
========================================================================

To update LAN Manager version 1.x Enhanced, replace your current
NETWKSTA.EXE file with the new version included with the MS-DOS 6
Supplemental disks. It's a good idea ot preserve your current file
by renaming it with a different extension, such as .OLD or .BAK.

To update LAN Manager version 1.x Enhanced:

   of the files--for example, just the network files.

   If you choose to install some of the files, Setup will prompt
   you to install groups of files, including the MS-DOS 6 Network
   drivers.

3. After Setup finishes installing the Network files, rename this
   original network file to back it up:

   NETWKSTA.EXE (usually in C:\LANMAN.DOS\NETPROG)

4. Copy the new NETWKSTA.1XE file to the same drive and directory as
   the old NETWKSTA.EXE file. Rename the new file to NETWKSTA.EXE.

5. Restart your computer. Or, if you have not installed MS-DOS 6,
   run Setup now.

4. Microsoft LAN Manager Version 1.x Basic and 100-Percent Compatible
   Networks
=====================================================================

To update LAN Manager version 1.x Basic, replace your current
REDIR.EXE file with the new version included with the MS-DOS 6
Supplemental disks. It's a good idea to preserve your current
file by renaming it with a different extension, such as .OLD
or .BAK.

To update LAN Manager version 1.x Basic:

1. Run the Setup program from the drive and directory that contains
   your Supplemental disk files and specify the drive and directory
   to which you want to install your files.

   For example, if your Supplemental disk is in drive A, and you want
   to install the files on drive C in your SUPP directory, type A: at the
   command prompt, and then type the following:

   SETUP C:\SUPP

2. When the Setup program starts, choose A if you want install the
   Supplemental disk files. Choose S if you want to install some
   of the files--for example, just the network files.

   If you choose to install some of the files, Setup will prompt
   you to install groups of files, including the MS-DOS 6 Network
   drivers.

3. After Setup finishes installing the Network files, rename this
   original network file to back it up:

   REDIR.EXE (usually in C:\LANMAN.DOS\BASIC)

4. Copy the new REDIR.1XE file to the same drive and directory as
   the old REDIR.EXE file. Rename the new file to REDIR.EXE.

5. Restart your computer. Or, if you have not installed MS-DOS 6,
   run Setup now.

5. Microsoft MS-Net and 100-Percent Compatible Networks
=======================================================

To update MS-Net or 100-percent compatible networks, replace your
current REDIR.EXE and SETNAME.EXE files with the new versions
included with the MS-DOS 6 Supplemental disks. It's a good idea to
preserve your current file by renaming it with a different extension,
such as .OLD or .BAK.

To update MS-NET or a 100-percent compatible network:

1. Run the Setup program from the drive and directory that contains
   your Supplemental disk files and specify the drive and directory
   to which you want to install your files.

   For example, if your Supplemental disk is in drive A, and you want
   to install the files on drive C in your SUPP directory, type A: at the
   command prompt, and then type the following:

   SETUP C:\SUPP

2. When the Setup program starts, choose A if you want install the
   Supplemental disk files. Choose S if you want to install some
   of the files--for example, just the network files.

   If you choose to install some of the files, Setup will prompt
   you to install groups of files, including the MS-DOS 6 Network
   drivers.

3. After Setup finishes installing the Network files, rename these
   original network files to back them up:

   REDIR.EXE (usually in the directory that contains your network files)
   SETNAME.EXE (usually in the directory that contains your network files)

4. Copy new version of SETNAME.EXE to the same drive and directory as
   the old version of the file.

5. Copy the new REDIR.2XE file to the same drive and directory as
   the old REDIR.EXE file. Rename the new file to REDIR.EXE.

6. Review your MSNET.INI file to make sure the REDIR command appears
   before the SETNAME command when both appear in the same command
   set.

   For example, suppose one of your command sets in MSNET.INI appears
   as follows

   start rdr $1
      chknet
      loadniu -r -d -m:d -i:5 exniuw.xfm stdlc
      xnsbios -m:d -i:5
      session
      setname $1
      redir /1:26 /s:9
      prtsc

   You would reverse the order of the SETNAME and REDIR commands so the
   command set appears as follows:

   start rdr $1
      chknet
      loadniu -r -d -m:d -i:5 exniuw.xfm stdlc
      xnsbios -m:d -i:5
      session
      redir /1:26 /s:9
      setname $1
      prtsc

7. Restart your computer. Or, if you have not installed MS-DOS 6,
   run Setup now.

6. 3Com 3+Share Version 1.6
===========================

To update 3Com 3+Share version 1.6, replace your current MSREDIR.EXE
file with the new version included with the MS-DOS 6 Supplemental
disks. It's a good idea to preserve your current file by renaming it
with a different extension, such as .OLD or .BAK.

If you have 3+Share version earlier than 1.6, contact your network
vendor for an update.

To update 3Com 3+Share version 1.6:

1. Run the Setup program from the drive and directory that contains
   your Supplemental disk files and specify the drive and directory
   to which you want to install your files.

   For example, if your Supplemental disk is in drive A, and you want
   to install the files on drive C in your SUPP directory, type A: at the
   command prompt, and then type the following:

   SETUP C:\SUPP

2. When the Setup program starts, choose A if you want install the
   Supplemental disk files. Choose S if you want to install some
   of the files--for example, just the network files.

   If you choose to install some of the files, Setup will prompt
   you to install groups of files, including the MS-DOS 6 Network
   drivers.

3. After Setup finishes installing the Network files, rename these
   original network files to back them up:

   MSREDIR.EXE (usually in C:\3SHARE)

4. Copy the new REDIR.2XE file to the same drive and directory as
   the old MSREDIR.EXE file. Rename the new file to MSREDIR.EXE.

5. Restart your computer. Or, if you have not installed MS-DOS 6,
   run Setup now.
