How to install NDIS with FTP PC/TCP version 2.05 and above under DOS

Supporting drivers for NDIS are located on "Unsupported Disk A" in the \NDIS directory which comes with the FTP software.

The following instructions apply only to the NDIS portion of the installation.

1. Create a \lanman directory and edit the CONFIG.SYS file to include the following device drivers:

protman.sys Protocol Manager, which must be first
ndis-driver.dos NDIS driver from the EtherDisk
dis_pkt.gup NDIS-to-Packet Driver Converter

Sample CONFIG.SYS:
DEVICE=C:\LANMAN\PROTMAN.SYS /I:C:\LANMAN
DEVICE=C:\LANMAN\ELNK3.DOS
DEVICE=C:\PCTCP\DIS_PKT.DOS

2. Copy the NDIS driver from the EtherDisk and the required files from "Unsupported Disk A" into the \lanman directory.

The NDIS driver is located in \lanman.dos\drivers\ethernet\elnkX, where X is the adapter model (for example: ELNKII, ELNK16, ELNK3, etc.) on the EtherDisk. NDIS
drivers may also be located in an \NDIS directory if one exists.

3. Create a PROTOCOL.INI file in the \lanman directory.

Sample PROTOCOL.INI parameters are listed in the PROTOCOL.INI file on the EtherDisk. For the PC/TCP protocol stack, add the following section to the
PROTOCOL.INI:

[PKTDRV]
DRIVERNAME= PKTDRV$
BINDINGS= YOUR NDIS DRIVER (For "Your NDIS Driver" insert the appropriate driver name, such as ELNKII or ELNK3)
INTVEC = 0X65
CHAINVEC= 0X66

Sample PROTOCOL.INI:
[ELNK3]
DRIVERNAME=ELNK3$

[PKTDRV]
DRIVERNAME=PKTDRV$
BINDINGS=ELNK3
INTVEC=0X65
CHAINVEC=0X66

4. Edit AUTOEXEC.BAT to load NETBIND.EXE before running the ETHDRV kernel. Make sure that the two required files, PRO.MSG and PROH.MSG, are in the same directory as NETBIND.EXE.

Sample AUTOEXEC.BAT:
SET PCTCP=C:\PCTCP\PCTCP.INI
NETBIND
ETHDRV
