22 Installation Guide for Clients

Network Adapter Drivers and Protocols

When installing, you’ll need to provide information about the

computer’s network adapter and network adapter drivers.

LAN Manager uses network device drivers (software that coordinates

between the computer’s software and hardware) to operate the network

adapter(s) in the computer. Network adapter drivers control the physical

function of the network adapters, and protocol drivers bind to the

network adapter driver.

During installation or configuration, you will be shown lists of the

available network adapter drivers and the available protocols, and you

must choose one or more of each for installation on the workstation.

The network adapter driver you select must support the network adapter

installed in the computer. You must also select one or more protocols to

associate with the selected network adapter driver. The protocol you

select must be supported by your network.

LAN Manager includes many device drivers that work with many types

of network adapters. Or you can also install network device drivers

from a supplemental drivers disk prepared for LAN Manager

installation. (Usually, the manufacturer of the network adapter supplies

this disk, or you can create a supplemental drivers disk. For more

information, see Chapter 10, “Creating Supplemental Drivers Disks.”)

Network adapter driver

You must choose one or more network adapter drivers. The driver(s)

must support the network adapter installed in the computer, and the

settings used for that adapter.

During installation, you can select No Driver as the network adapter

driver. This allows you to complete an installation without specifying

a network adapter driver or a protocol. However, the computer

cannot communicate on the network until you select a valid network

adapter driver and a protocol from the Setup screen of the installed

workstation. The No Driver option is typically used when setting up a

workstation to use the Remote Access Service to access the network

from a remote site via a modem. When the Remote Access Service is

used, no network adapter card or network device driver is required.

For more information about installing and using the Remote Access

Service, see the User’s Guide for MS-DOS Clients.
