                         INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR  
           NDIS 2.01/3.00 DRIVER FOR WINDOWS FOR WORKGROUPS 3.11 WITH
                      HP DeskDirect 10/100VG LAN ADAPTER

 This document contains the instructions for installing the HP DeskDirect
 10/100VG LAN adapter and its 16-bit or 32-bit Network Driver Interface 
 Specification (NDIS) version 2.01/3.00 driver under Windows For Workgroups.
 
 The NDIS 2.01/3.00 driver is contained in the HP Support Disk directory:

    \WFWG\HPFEND.DOS  - 16-bit NDIS 2.01 driver
    \WFWG\HPDDND3.386 - 32-bit NDIS 3.00 driver

 Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11 network adapter setup uses a file
 OEMSETUP.INF to determine the driver information for the HP DeskDirect 
 10/100VG LAN adapter installed in your computer. Information from the 
 OEMSETUP.INF file is used by the network adapter setup utility to install 
 the driver into the Windows directory and to create a PROTOCOL.INI file.  

 NOTE: Throughout these instructions, the term 'HP LAN Card' will be used to
       refer to the HP DeskDirect 10/100VG LAN Adapter.

 To install the HP LAN Adapter and its Windows for Workgroup 3.11 driver(s), 
 follow the instructions below:

 1.  Install the HP LAN Card and run HPVGSET.

     Follow instructions in the 'Setting Up Your Card and LAN Connection'
     chapter of the Installation Guide.

     The second column heading across the top of the screen will be the
     "I/O Address Range".  Below this heading will be the address range
     of the HP LAN Card.  Write down the first number shown for use in
     step 4 (e.g. if the address shown is "300-33F", write down "300") 
     if your are installing more than one HP LAN Card.

 2.  Install the Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11.

     Locate the Microsoft Windows for Workgroups Getting Started manual
     and the Microsoft diskette labeled "Disk 1 - Setup".

     Insert the Microsoft diskette labeled "Disk 1 - Setup" into the floppy
     drive.  For example, if the diskette is in drive A, then execute these
     DOS commands:

        A:
        SETUP

     Follow the instructions on each window to install Windows for
     Workgroups 3.11.  One of the last steps in the installation is 
     selecting the network adapter driver.
    
     NOTE: To add the network driver after Microsoft Windows for Workgroups
           has been installed, select "Network Setup" icon within the 
	   "Network" group.  When "Network Setup" window appears, select
           "Drivers..." button and then the "Add Adapter..." button to start 
           the process of adding the HP DeskDirect 10/100VG LAN network card 
           into your Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11 environment.

 3.  Select the network adapter driver.

     When the "Add Network Adapter" window appears, use the arrow
     keys to highlight the line:

        Unlisted or Updated Network Adapter

     Press the ENTER key to select this item.

     When the "Install Driver" window appears, insert the HP Support Disk
     into floppy drive and enter the path name at the prompt. For example,
     if the diskette is in floppy drive A, then enter:

        A:\WFWG\

     When "Unlisted or Updated Network Adapter" window appears with the lines:

        HP DeskDirect (product) <medium> <bus> LAN Adapter

     NOTE: Sometimes these lines are not displayed.  This occurs after
           installing the driver off the HP Support Disk multiple times.
           See "Note on OEM Information Files" below to correct this
           situation.

     Use the arrow key to highlight the line indicating which HP LAN Card
     is installed and press the ENTER key to select it.

     Follow the prompts to alternatively insert Windows for Workgroups
     diskettes and the HP Support Disk.  Make sure to enter the the
     proper path name whenever swapping to another diskette.  For
     example, if the HP Support Disk is in floppy drive A, enter the
     following path at the prompt:

        A:\WFWG\
    
     Always specify the root directory of any Microsoft Windows for Workgroups
     diskettes.  For example, if a Windows for Workgroups diskette is in
     floppy drive A, enter the following path at the prompt:

        A:\

 4.  Edit the parameters for the HP LAN Adapter configuration.

     Edit the parameters to match those saved in the adapter by HPVGSET in 
     step 1 if you are installing more than one HP LAN Card. All parameters 
     in the Advanced menu are optional (Not present). See "Note on Advanced 
     Parameters" below before altering any parameter.

     Select "OK" button to install the HP LAN Card driver into the Windows for
     Workgroup environment.

 5.  Finish installation of Windows for Workgroups 3.11.

     At this point, all the steps required for the installation of network 
     driver are done.  Select the "Continue" button to proceed with the
     Windows for Workgroup Setup program until the complete setup procedure
     is finished.

     NOTE:  Select the "OK" or "Close" buttons to complete any changes when
            using Adapter menus under Network Settings.

     The installation and/or changes of network configuration will not take 
     effect until the computer is rebooted.

 Note on Advanced Parameters
 ===========================
 Below is an explanation of each advanced parameter HP LAN Card setup menu.
 
 
 BASE I/O ADDRESS
      range:   ISA  [0x0100 - 0x03C0]
               EISA [0x1C38 - 0xFC38]
               PCI  [0x0400 - 0xFF00]
      step:    ISA  [0x0040]
               EISA [0x1000]
               PCI  [0x0100]
      default: [none]
 
    This value indicates the base I/O address (ie. the first address in 
    HPVGSET I/O Address Range) configured on the adapter.  If the adapter is
    not at the base I/O address, the driver will exit with an error.
    
 
  Refer to the PROTOCOL.TXT file in the \NDIS2 subdirectory on the HP Support
  disk for the definition of each advanced (i.e. PROTOCOL.INI) parameter for
  the NDIS 2.01 driver.
 
 Note on OEM Information Files
 =============================
 When Windows for Workgroups installs a driver from a vendor diskette, it
 also stores a copy of the vendor's OEMSETUP.INF file in the Windows directory.
 The OEMSETUP.INF file is renamed OEMnn.INF, where "nn" is two decimal digits
 (ie. 00, 01, 02, etc).  There is no checking for duplicate information.
 
 When Windows for Workgroups network adapter setup utility is run from the
 Control Panel network icon, it scans all the OEMnn.INF files for any network
 drivers.  This scan can become confused if multiple OEMnn.INF files contain
 identical information (ie. copies of the same original OEMSETUP.INF file).
 
 To correct this situation and allow installation of the NDIS 2.01 driver
 from the HP Support Disk, any copies of the HP OEMSETUP.INF file from
 previous installation attempts must be deleted from the Windows directory.
 
 Using the MORE utility provided with DOS, inspect the first screen of each
 OEMnn.INF file in the Windows directory for these lines as show in the 
 following example:
 
 [netcard]
 hwp$j2573a="HP DeskDirect (J2573A) 10/100VG ISA LAN Adapter",0,ndis,ethernet,
             0x07,hwp$common,hwp$j2573a_nif

 To quit, press Ctrl-C (ie. press both the [Cntrl] and [C] keys simultaneously).
 Delete all OEMnn.INF files that are identical to the OEMSETUP.INF file on this
 HP Support Disk.
 
 For example, if Windows for Workgroups is installed in the C:\WINDOWS
 directory, enter the following command for each OEMnn.INF file:
 
     MORE < OEMnn.INF
     (... inspect the first screen for the HPJ2573A lines ...)
     (... press [Cntrl]-[C] to quit MORE ...)

<End of File>
