Windows for Workgroups, NetWare, i82592 & NDIS2
There are no plans to release a protected mode NDIS3 driver for the
Intel 82592 On-Board Ethernet (OBE).
Windows for Workgroups, NetWare, i82592 & ODI
This configuration requires the latest Windows/NetWare and ODI drivers
which, at the time of writing, are found in DOSUP8.EXE and WINUP8.EXE and may be
downloaded from Area 37 of Apricot Insight BBS.
Remove all network drivers from CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT and delete
NET.CFG from C:\WINDOWS if it exists.
Install Windows without hardware detection by typing SETUP/i.
This will prevent Windows trying to identify the OBE. Proceed with the installation until
the Network Setup window appears. Select CONTINUE to install Windows
without a network adapter.
Continue as prompted and select RETURN to MS-DOS to
return to the DOS prompt without rebooting.
Edit AUTOEXEC.BAT and add the following lines somewhere after the NET
START statement:
C:\WINDOWS\LSL
C:\WINDOWS\82592ODI
C:\WINDOWS\IPXODI
C:\WINDOWS\NETX
Make sure these files are located in C:\WINDOWS then reboot the system.
Ignore the message which reports that a NET.CFG was not found.
Load Windows. Run Network Setup from the Network
window, select the Networks icon, and choose Install Microsoft
Windows Network and OTHER network. Scroll through the list,

Select Drivers... and Add Adapter.
Scroll through the list and select IPXODI Support Driver (Ethernet), then
CLOSE to accept and continue setup. When prompted for NETWARE.DRV,
place the disk with unpacked WINUP8.EXE files into the floppy drive and continue.
NET.CFG will be created. AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, SYSTEM.INI and
WIN.INI will be modified. From this point, do not restart Windows, but continue and exit
to DOS in the normal way.
Edit NET.CFG in C:\WINDOWS and make the following changes written in
italics:
Link Driver 82592ODI
Frame Ethernet_802.3
Frame Ethernet_II
Frame Ethernet_802.2
Frame Ethernet_SNAP
Protocol IPX 0 Ethernet_802.3
Edit PROTOCOL.INI in C:\WINDOWS and change all occurances of XXXX
to 82592.
It may also be necessary to edit CONFIG.SYS and reset the LASTDRIVE
statement to its original setting.
