      "VINES MASTER DISK".

     Follow the given instructions for copying files.

    Method 2
    
     Execute the 'BAN' command.

     Execute the 'PCCOPY' command.

     Select the 'NDIS Ethernet' option and follow the instructions for
      copying files.

     Prepared bootable diskette in Drive B. Then, copy the appropriate NDIS
      driver file DLKPCI.DOS to Drive B.

     Create a CONFIG.SYS file with the following statements:

        DEVICE=PROTMAN.DOS /I:A:\
        DEVICE=DLKPCI.DOS

      NOTE:  A:\ is the path where Banyan VINES workstation files reside.

     Create a DLKPCI.NIF file containing the following statements:

        Model = D-Link PCI Family Ethernet Card
        Path = A:\
        DeviceDriver = DLKPCI.DOS
        DeviceName = DLKPCI$
        Type = NDIS

      NOTE:  A:\ is the path where Banyan VINES workstation files reside.

     Create a PROTOCOL.INI file with the following lines:

        [PROTOCOL MANAGER]
        drivername = PROTMAN$

        [VINES_XIF]
        drivername = NDISBAN$
        bindings = "DLKPCI"

        [DLKPCI]
        drivername = DLKPCI$

     Execute the 'PCCONFIG' command.

      A "CONFIGURING A PC FOR THE NETWORK" message appears on the
      screen. The program then provides some options you can select.

     Select "1 - Network Card Settings".
