Note: DOS must be installed on the workstation's C drive, or you must use a bootable DOS diskette.

1. Create a subdirectory called \VINES.

2. Copy the contents of the VINES LAN S/W (DOS) installation diskette to the \VINES subdirectory.

3. Copy the \3COM subdirectory on the VINES LAN S/W (DOS) 1 of 2 diskette to the \VINES subdirectory.

4. Copy the contents of the \NDIS subdirectory on the VINES LAN S/W (DOS) 2 of 2 diskette to the \VINES subdirectory.

5. Copy the contents of the \MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\ELPC3 subdirectory on the EtherDisk diskette to the
\VINES subdirectory.

6. Edit the protocol.ini file as follows:

[PROTOCOL MANAGER]
DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$

[VINES_XIF]
DRIVERNAME = NDISBAN$
BINDINGS = ELINKPC3

[ELINKPC3]
DRIVERNAME = ELPC3$

7. Run the pcconfig.exe program in the \VINES subdirectory.
