DETAILS REGARDING THE INTEL EtherExpress(tm) 16 DRIVERS
FOR SERVERS AND DOS WORKSTATIONS IN 3+SHARE NETWORKS
=====================================================

This README file does not explain how to configure the
EtherExpress boards.  For help configuring the boards, refer
to the Expert's Guide to Configuring the EtherExpress 16 and
16TP Boards or to the Complete Guide to Installing and
Configuring the EtherExpress 16 and 16TP Network Adapters.


DRIVER INSTALLATION FOR SERVERS
===============================

Here's how to install the driver in a server:

1.   Follow the PC Server installation instructions in the
     3+Share Installation and Setup Guide.

2.   During the installation process you will be prompted to
     select a network adapter from a menu.  Select the
     Etherlink adapter, even though you will be using the
     Intel EtherExpress adapter.

3.   With one exception, follow the installation procedure
     to completion.  Before rebooting the computer to
     bring the server into operation, place the Intel
     diskette into drive A:.  Copy the

          A:\3SHARE\3EXP16.SYS

     file to the \3DRIVERS directory on the server.

4.   Edit the server's CONFIG.SYS file.  Replace the
     Etherlink driver (ETH.SYS) in the CONFIG.SYS file with
     the EtherExpress driver.  In other words, replace the
     Etherlink driver with this:

          DEVICE=\3DRIVERS\3EXP16.sys

     The driver will automatically configure itself to match
     the configuration of the EtherExpress board, so you
     need not include any configuration parameters in the
     CONFIG.SYS file.  However, if you experience any
     compatibility problems, or if you want to explicitly
     set the I/O address for the driver, you may place the
     I/O address on the command line in the CONFIG.SYS file,
     like this:

          DEVICE=\3DRIVERS\3EXP16.sys  300

5.   After you have edited the CONFIG.SYS file, reboot the
     computer.  Look for the driver's logon message as
     confirmation that the driver has been correctly
     installed.

DRIVER INSTALLATION FOR DOS WORKSTATIONS
========================================

Here's how to install the driver:

1.   Follow the instructions in the 3+Share Installation and
     Setup Guide for "Creating PC Netstation Startup Disks."

2.   To create a startup disk, you must use the 3Com utility
     MAKEDISK.  Make sure you read 3Com's release notes that
     came with your NOS, as there are important corrections
     to some editions of the 3Com manual.

3.   As you interact with MAKEDISK, you will be asked to
     select a network adapter from a menu.  Select the
     Etherlink adapter even though you will be using an
     EtherExpress adapter in the workstation.

4.   Once MAKEDISK is finished, and the startup diskette is
     made, edit the CONFIG.SYS file on the startup diskette.
     Replace the EtherLink driver command
     (DEVICE=\3DRIVERS\ETH.SYS) with an EtherExpress driver
     command (DEVICE=\3DRIVERS\3EXP16.SYS).

5.   Copy the EtherExpress driver (\3SHARE\3EXP16.SYS on the
     Intel diskette) to the \3DRIVERS subdirectory on the
     startup disk.

     The driver will automatically configure itself to match
     the configuration of the EtherExpress board, so you
     need not include any configuration parameters in the
     CONFIG.SYS file.  However, if you experience any
     compatibility problems, or if you want to explicitly
     set the I/O address for the driver, you may place the
     I/O address on the command line in the CONFIG.SYS file,
     like this:

          DEVICE=\3DRIVERS\3EXP16.sys  300

6.   After you have edited the CONFIG.SYS file and copied
     the driver, reboot the computer.  Look for the driver's
     logon message as confirmation that the driver has been
     correctly installed.
