Installing the Fastmac Plus NDIS2 driver for OS/2 WarpConnect

To install the driver for use with OS/2 Warp Connect with OS/2 LAN Requester, do the following:

  1. Start the installation of IBM OS/2 Warp Connect by booting from the Installation disk. On the Welcome to OS/2! screen select the Advanced Installation method. Continue with the installation of OS/2 in the normal way, rebooting when necessary.

  2. Select the Yes radio button in the Networking Support dialog. Select the required products from the Product Selection dialog. (These should not include the Novell NetWare Client 2.11 for OS/2 product.)

  3. From the Set up selected products settings notebook, select Madge Smart Ringnodes for OS/2 v2.x as the Network adapter in the Adapter tab. Continue with the installation of OS/2 Warp Connect, rebooting when necessary. If you see an error of the form PRO0021: A general failure occured when the program tried to bind VECTOR to MDGND_NIF, ignore it by pressing Enter to continue.

  4. Once OS/2 Warp Connect has finished installing itself, start the MPTS utility from its icon on the Desktop.

  5. Select Install on the Multi-Protocol Transport Services dialog.

  6. In the Install Additional Network Drivers dialog, specify the pathname A:\OS2. Insert the Madge Client Disk 2 in the floppy drive, and click on Ok. Once the files have been copied to the hard disk, continue to select Ok until you are returned to the Multi-Protocol Transport Services dialog.

  7. Exit MPTS. A dialog box appears to inform you that CONFIG.SYS is being updated. When MPTS has finished executing, reboot the computer. OS/2 Warp Connect will now use the latest version of MDGND.OS2.
