The Microsoft Network Client 3.0 for MS DOS provides a network client for use with MS DOS clients connecting to Windows NT servers.

The MS Client 3.0 can be found on the Windows NT Server CD-ROM, under the directory \CLIENTS\MSCLIENT. This client may be installed across the network, using the SETUP.EXE program found in \CLIENTS\MSCLIENT\NETSETUP on the Windows NT Server CD, or by building installation diskettesfrom the files found in \CLIENTS\MSCLIENT\DISKS on the Windows NT Server CD.

1. Start the MS Client Setup program by typing "SETUP.EXE" at the DOS prompt, either from a network directory, or from installation floppy diskettes.

2. After selecting an install directory on your hard drive, choose "Change Network Configuration"

3. Select "Add Adapter"

4. Select "Network Adapter not shown on list below..."

5. When prompted, specify "javascript:void(null);" as the path to the OEMSETUP.INF file

NOTE: MS Network Client uses the same INF file as Windows for Workgroups

6. From the list of Adaptec driver options displayed, choose the NDIS 2.0 driver (located at the bottom of the list).

7. Choose "C" to continue the MS Network Client installation.

8. Choose additional protocols as necessary.

9. After completing the installation and rebooting, you will be able to use your Adaptec PCI adapter.

When it loads, the DOS NDIS driver assumes a default configuration which provides good performance with moderate use of memory. However, to increase your adapter's performance or decrease your adapter's memory requirements, the driver's configuration may be modified by adding parameters to the PROTOCOL.INI file. Keep in mind that improving performance generally requires more memory while decreasing memory requirements generally reduces performance. The parameters for the DOS NDIS 2.0 driver described in NDIS.TXT apply also when using the driver with MS Network Client 3.0.
