3C589 - WFW 3.11 - Installing NDIS3 and ODI protocol stacks

Windows For Workgroup v3.11 with NDIS3 to work with ODI and PCMCIA

After launching Windows For Workgroup (WFW), choose NETWORK DRIVERS from the NETWORK SETUP icon. Delete the PCMCIA driver and select the EtherLink III driver (not Etherlink III PCMCIA). By default, Microsoft selects MICROSOFT NETBEUI for the driver (and adds the IPX/SPX if it detects it). If the IPX/SPX protocol is not added automatically, follow the next steps to add it.

To add the ODI stack, click on ADD PROTOCOL and select IPX/SPX COMPATIBLE TRANSPORT or IPX/SPX COMPATIBLE TRANSPORT w/NetBIOS. Click on SETUP and then DRIVER TYPE and select the ODI DRIVER. This changes NDIS2/NDIS3 to ODI/NDIS3.

Note:
1) Download the self-extracting WG1004.EXE file from Microsoft. Per the README.TXT file, place MSODISUP.386 in the System sub-directory under the Windows directory.

2) For ODI connectivity, the self-extracting files WINUP9.EXE and DOSUP9.EXE are required. WINUP9.EXE has NETWARE.DRV, NETWARE.HLP, NWPOPUP.EXE, VNETWARE.386, VIPX.386 files (copy to the System sub-directory of your Windows directory). DOSUP9.EXE has the latest LSL, IPXODI, NETX and VLM files (copy to the appropriate directory, e.g. NWCLIENT). Both WINUP9.EXE and DOSUP9.EXE files can be obtained from the NOVFILES forum on Compuserve.
