======================================
Installing the LANtastic 32-bit Client

Congratulations on your decision to add the LANtastic(R) 32-bit Client for
Windows(R) 95 to your LANtastic network. This program will give you all the
functionality of a LANtastic workstation, while taking advantage of the true
multi-tasking capabilities of the Windows 95 32-bit operating system.

Before installing the program, please take a few minutes to read the next few
sections and perform any necessary preparatory tasks. Doing so will help make
sure the LANtastic 32-bit Client will install and operate properly on your
computer. After you've prepared your computer, go on to the section called
"Getting started with the software installation."

================================
Configuring your network adapter

Below are guidelines for installing and configuring your network adapter to
operate with the LANtastic 32-bit Client and Windows 95.

        - Do not install the LANtastic 32-bit Client on a computer that's
	  using multiple adapters.

        -  If there's an Artisoft NodeRunner adapter installed in this
	   computer, and it isn't already configured to run in
	   "NE1000-compatible" mode, it must be reconfigured to run in that
	   mode to ensure compatibility with Windows 95. See the section
	   called "Configuring Your NodeRunner adapter to operate in
	   NE1000-compatible mode," which also includes instructions on
	   changing the IRQ to the required setting of between 2 and 7.
	   This section is located near the end of this file. 

        -  If there's an Artisoft NodeRunner adapter installed in this
	   computer, you know it's configured to run in "NE1000-compatible"
	   mode, and you know its IRQ and I/O address settings, go on to the
	   section called "If you're already running LANtastic." Note
	   that adapters using NE1000-mode must use an IRQ between 2 and 7.

        -  If there's an Artisoft AE-x adapter installed in this computer,
	   you know it's configured to run in "Novell" mode, and you know
	   its IRQ and I/O address settings, go on to the section called
	   "If you're already running LANtastic."

        -  If there's an Eagle NE2000 Plus or a Novell NE2000 adapter
	   installed in this computer, you know it's configured to run in
	   "NE2000-Compatible" mode, and you know its IRQ and I/O address
           settings, go on to the section called "If you're already running
           LANtastic."
        
        -  If there's a NodeRunner or AE-x adapter installed in this computer,
           but you don't know the adapter's configuration, or you know its
           settings must be reconfigured, see the section called
	   "Configuring your NodeRunner adapter to operate in
	   NE1000-compatible mode" or "Configuring your AE-x adapter to
	   operate in Novell mode." These sections are located near the end
	   of this file.

        -  If the adapter installed in this computer is a brand other than
	   NodeRunner, AE-x, Eagle NE2000 Plus or Novell NE2000, refer to
	   your adapter documentation for instructions on configuring it.

        -  If there's no network adapter installed in this computer, install
	   one now according to the adapter's documentation.

           - If you're installing a NodeRunner adapter, configure it for
	     "NE1000-compatible" mode. Or if you're installing an Artisoft
	     AE-x adapter, configure it for "Novell" mode. Be sure to note
	     the adapter's IRQ and I/O address settings. NodeRunner and AE-x
	     configuration instructions are located near the end of this file.

           - If you're installing an Eagle NE2000 Plus or Novell NE2000
	     adapter, configure it for NE2000-compatible operation. Refer to
	     the adapter's documentation for configuration instructions. Be
	     sure to note the adapter's IRQ and I/O address settings.

          -  If you're installing any other non-Artisoft adapter, refer to
	     its documentation for configuration instructions. Be sure to
	     note its IRQ and I/O address settings.


===================================
If you're already running LANtastic

If LANtastic V5.x or higher is installed on this computer, you must use
a text editor such as WordPad to edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file (and perhaps
your CONFIG.SYS file) to keep LANtastic from running. To do so, close the
LANtastic Program Group and the WNET program (if it's running), then:

	NOTE: Make sure you don't change the fonts or formatting of your
	AUTOEXEC or CONFIG.SYS files.

        1. Open your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
	
        2. Find the line that runs the LANtastic software. Typically this
           line will be: CALL STARTNET.

        3. Type REM in front of the line. For example: REM CALL STARTNET.

        4. Save your changes.

        5. Open your CONFIG.SYS file.

        6. Find any lines that load NDIS drivers. For example:
	   Device=C:\LANTASTI\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANTASTI
	   Device=C:\LANTASTI\AEXNDIS.DOS

	   If you don't find any NDIS commands, go on to step 9.

        7. Type REM in front of the NDIS command line(s). For example: 
	   REM Device=C:\LANTASTI\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANTASTI
	   REM Device=C:\LANTASTI\AEXNDIS.DOS

        8. Save your changes.
      
	9. Open your WIN.INI file and delete the line: Load=...\WNET.EXE.

       10. Save your changes and exit the text editor.

       12. On the Windows 95 desktop, click "Start." Then click "Settings,"
	   "Control Panel."

       13. Double-click "Network" to open the network property sheets.
           A window appears showing the installed network components.

       14. Select the line that says "Artisoft LANtastic (version 5.x
           and above)," and click "Remove."

       15. Click "OK," then click "Yes" to restart your computer.
 

==============================================
Getting started with the software installation

Now that you've completed any necessary preparatory tasks, and downloaded and
executed the file called LC95.EXE, perform the following steps:

        1. Copy the file called UNPACK.EXE to a temporary location on your
	   hard drive. For example, make a directory or folder called LCLIENT.

           NOTE: Don't use a long filename for the directory or folder you
           create to hold the LANtastic 32-bit Client files. Instead, use a
           DOS-format filename (maximum of eight characters with a
           three-character extension).

        2. In Windows 95, go to the folder you created and double-click on
           UNPACK.EXE. Or from the DOS prompt, change to the directory you
           created and type: UNPACK <Enter>.

           All of the files needed for the LANtastic 32-bit Client will
           be placed in the folder or directory you created.

Once you've unpacked the files, you can run SETUP.EXE to install the
LANtastic 32-bit Client automatically. Or you can manually install the
LANtastic 32-bit Client's network components one at a time by using the
Windows 95 property sheets.

Artisoft recommends that you run the SETUP program. Instructions appear below
in the section called "Automatic installation." If instead, you choose to use
the property sheets, go to the section called "Manual installation."


======================
Automatic installation

NOTE: Before you begin the steps below, make sure that you've unpacked the
LANtastic 32-bit Client files according to the instructions in the previous
section.

        1. Click "Start," then click "Run." Type the path to the SETUP
	   program in the directory or folder where you ran UNPACK in the
	   previous section. Click "OK," and the LANtastic Client for
	   Windows 95 screen appears. 
        
        2. Click "Add" to install the LANtastic 32-bit Client. You'll see a
	   status window showing the progress of the installation.
           
        3. If you're prompted to select an adapter driver, make your
	   selections according to the guidelines in the section called 
	   "Configuring your network adapter" near the beginning of this file.

	4. If you're prompted to insert the Windows 95 CD, put the CD in your
	   CD-ROM drive. Type in the path to the CD-ROM drive (for example,
	   D:\WIN95), then click "OK."

	   Wait as the LANtastic 32-bit Client files are copied to your hard
	   disk. 

	   IMPORTANT! Do not click "Cancel" during installation unless you
	   want to abandon the process.
	
	5. Read the screen that appears. It contains important program
	   information. To disable this screen until February 1, 1996, click
	   "Yes." To have the screen appear each time you start your computer,
	   click "No."

	6. When the Installation Complete screen appears, click "OK." Then
	   click "Yes" when asked if you want to restart your computer. The
	   LANtastic 32-bit Client will be running after you restart. 

	7. A window may appear asking for your Microsoft Networking password.
	   If this happens, type in your password and click "OK."

        8. Click "Start." Then click "Settings," "Control Panel."

        9. Double-click "Network" to open the network property sheets.

       10. From the Network window, click the "Identification" tab.
           Check to make sure that your computer has a unique name on
           the network. It's a good idea for your computer to have
           a name that's meaningful. 

           When you've finished checking the computer name, click "OK."

       11. A status bar appears as Windows 95 builds a driver information
	   database. At the completion of the process, close the Control
	   Panel window. 

       12. Go to your Windows 95 desktop and double-click the "LANtasti"
	   shortcut icon that was added during installation. This will
	   activate the LANtastic 32-bit Client. 

       13. Type your registration information in the window that appears,
	   then click "Continue."

	   NOTE: If you like, click "Browse Network" to see the other
	   computers on your network.

	   If you have any problems, refer to the section called
	   "Troubleshooting" near the end of this file. See also the on-line
	   help within the program.

===============
Troubleshooting

- You receive the error message:
  "Could not open file C:\[xxxxxxxxxx]\ACLI for reading."

  Rename the directory or folder where you copied the LANtastic 32-bit Client
  files. Use a DOS-format filename (maximum of eight characters with a three-
  character extension).


- The shortcut icon doesn't work.

The LANtastic shortcut icon points to your C: drive by default. If you
installed the LANtastic 32-bit Client to a drive other than C: (for
example D:), you'll need to edit the LANtastic shortcut icon so that it has
the correct path to the LANtastic 32-bit Client files. To do so:

        1. Put the mouse cursor on the LANtastic icon and click the right
           mouse button.

           A small menu appears.

        2. Click "Properties" at the bottom of the menu.

           A window opens, displaying a "General" tab and a "Shortcut" tab.

        3. Click on the "Shortcut" tab.

           drive letter where your LANtastic 32-bit Client files are
           stored.

           NOTE: If you accidentally delete the entire line in the
           "Target" field, here is the correct text to type in:
           X:\LANTASTI\WIN95\LCNET32.EXE where X: is the drive where the
           LANtastic 32-bit Client files are stored.

        5. Click "OK."


-  You click the "Network Neighborhood" plus sign, but no treeview appears.

   If you have a dial-up adapter installed, you must remove the Artisoft
   LANtastic NetBIOS and NetBEUI bindings from that adapter. To do so:

        1. Click "Start," "Settings," "Control Panel."

        2. Double-click "Network."

        3. Look in the list of installed components. You'll see two entries
           for Artisoft LANtastic NetBIOS and two entries for NetBEUI.

        4. Click "Artisoft LANtastic NetBIOS --> Dial-Up adapter," then click
           "Remove."

        5. Click "NetBEUI --> Dial Up adapter," then click "Remove."

        6. Click "OK," then click "Yes" to restart your computer.

   Follow the steps below:

	1. Go to the Network window and select your adapter.

	2. Click "Properties."

	3. Click the "Resources" tab and verify that the IRQ and I/O address
	   are set correctly. If they aren't, change them as necessary. Click
	   "OK."
 
	4. Click "Artisoft LANtastic NetBIOS," "Properties." Then click the
	   "Advanced" tab.

	5. Verify that the selected frame type is Ethernet II. If it isn't, 
	   change it accordingly and click "OK."

	6. Click "OK" to exit the "Properties" and "Network" windows.

	7. Click "Yes" to restart your computer.  


-  You receive the error message:
   "You cannot disconnect from XXX because there are open files on this
   device."

   Exit any application that's using the server's resource, (such as Windows
   Explorer) before attempting to disconnect from device XXX.


-  You receive the error message:
   "An attempt was made to remember a device that had previously been
   remembered."

   Uncheck "Remember Next Connection Made," then click "OK" to continue. 


-  You receive the error message:
   "Error enumerating printers!"

   Remove, then re-add, the Client for Microsoft Networks.

   NOTE: If you don't have any Microsoft servers on your network, there's no
   need to re-add the Microsoft Client.

-  You receive the error message:
   "No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this time
   because there are already as many connections as this computer can accept."

   You'll receive this message if you have the Microsoft Client for NetWare
   Networks loaded and you use the "View Print Jobs" option.

   Instead of using View Print Jobs, follow the steps below:

        1. Double-click Network Neighborhood.

        2. Double-click the computer for which you want to check print jobs.

        3. Double-click the printer icon. The print job status window appears.

   Or if you prefer, create a shortcut to the desired printer:

        1. Follow steps 1 and 2 above.

        2. Click the printer icon and drag it to your Windows 95 desktop.

        3. Double-click the printer icon on your desktop to open the print
           job status window.

   
-  You receive the error message:
   "The printer this shortcut refers to does not exist on this computer.
   Delete this shortcut and create a new one from your printer folder."

   You may see this message if you've dragged and dropped multiple print
   jobs to a printer shortcut icon on your Windows 95 desktop.

   Ignore the message. Your jobs will print as requested.


-  You want to use Windows 95 Advanced Power Management (APM) with the
   LANtastic 32-bit Client.

   When APM is invoked on a computer running the LANtastic 32-bit Client,
   all connections to LANtastic servers are lost, and it becomes impossible
   to make any new connections.

   To avoid this problem, disable APM on the LANtastic 32-bit Client computer.


-  The Windows 95 BOOTLOG contains a "Load Failed" error in reference to a
   LANtastic 32-bit Client .VPE file.

   Ignore this error. The file was actually loaded properly.


-  You want to restore the LANtastic 32-bit Client default settings.

   To restore the LANtastic 32-bit Client's colors, button text, etc., to the
   defaults, delete the LCNET32.LCF file from the Windows directory.

Enhancing performance
          
  NOTE: The following procedure is best performed by an advanced user or
  system administrator.

To reduce network traffic, you may want to make sure that the LANtastic
32-bit Client is bound only to the Artisoft LANtastic NetBIOS protocol
and vice versa. To do so:
        
        1. Click "Start." Then click "Settings," "Control Panel."

        2. Double-click "Network" to open the property sheets.

	3. Highlight each protocol in turn and click "Properties."

	4. Make sure that a check mark appears only next to the network
	   client for which the protocol was installed, then click "OK." 

	   If this isn't the case, remove any unnecessary check marks by
	   clicking the checkmark, then click "OK."

	5. Restart your computer if you made any changes.


========================================================================
Configuring your NodeRunner adapter to operate in NE1000-compatible mode

In order to run the LANtastic 32-bit Client on Windows 95, your
NodeRunner adapter must be in "NE1000-compatible" mode. You can easily set
it to this mode using the NRSETUP program.

You'll find NRSETUP.EXE in one of three places: 

  -  On the disk with your adapter software

  -  On disk 1 of your LANtastic installation disks

  -  In your \LANTASTI subdirectory if you've previously installed LANtastic
     6.1 or below


If you don't have a copy of NRSETUP.EXE, you can download it from
the Artisoft electronic bulletin board. The BBS number is (520) 884-8648
(U.S. and Canada only). Or, you can get NRSETUP.EXE from Artisoft's FTP
server at: FTP.ARTISOFT.COM.

Perform the steps below to configure your NodeRunner adapter to
NE1000-compatible mode:

        1. From the DOS prompt, type: NRSETUP <Enter>.

        2. If any network software is running, you'll see the message,
           "Adapter may be in use!"  Press Enter to proceed or Esc
           to abort.

           The Main Options screen appears.

        3. Use the cursor keys to select "Manual NodeRunner
           Configuration," then press Enter.

           Two windows appear. The top one shows information about your
           NodeRunner adapter. The bottom one shows a list of configuration
	   options.

        4. Use the cursor keys to select "Mode" in the bottom window, then
           press Enter.

           A third window opens showing all available modes of operation.

        5. Use the cursor keys to select "NE1000," then press Enter.

	6. Set the IRQ to a value between 2 and 7. Make sure the IRQ you 
	   choose isn't already in use.

           Your adapter is now configured correctly to operate with
           Windows 95.

        7. Press Esc twice to exit NRSETUP.


=======================================================
Configuring your AE-x adapter to operate in Novell mode

AE-x adapters aren't software configurable. Therefore, they must be
configured by moving the black plastic jumpers located on the adapter. If
you don't have much hand-room inside your computer, it'll be easier to
remove the card entirely before attempting to set the jumpers.

Perform the following steps to put your AE-x adapter in Novell mode:

        1. Position the adapter chip-side up.

           You'll see several rows of brass pins sticking up. Some have
           black plastic squares on them; these are the jumpers.

        2. Find the set of pins closest to the lower left-hand corner of
           the adapter.

           Each set of pins has a label. The labels are (from left to
           right):  "N A 8 16 A B C D."

        3. If there's a jumper on the "A" pins, slide it up and off of the
           pins. Then reposition the jumper on the "N" pins.

           This sets the adapter to Novell mode.

        4. While you're looking at the adapter, make a note of the IRQ
           (interrupt request) and the I/O base address settings. You'll
           need this information during the software installation.

           The I/O base address can be determined by looking at the
           remaining jumpers on same set of pins you looked at in the
           steps above. The jumpers on the pins correspond to I/O
           addresses, as shown in the table below:

                Jumper Combinations             I/O Base Address
                        AB                            300
                        AC                            320
                        BD                            340
                        CD                            360

        5. To determine the IRQ setting, look at the right-most set of
           pins in the same row, at the bottom of the adapter.

           This set of pins is labeled "IRQ" on the bottom, and "2 3 4 5 6
           7 10 15" on the top. There's only one jumper; the number
           directly above the jumper is the IRQ setting.

        6. Make a note of the IRQ and I/O base address settings so that
           you can enter them at the appropriate time during software
           installation.
