Installing TCP/IP Stack for Windows for Workgroups

Installing the TCP/IP Stack for Windows for Workgroups
Remember the Network Interface sold in the PC Store is SMC EtherEZ Model SMC 8416TA. If you are uncertain how to install the Network Interface, please refer to the instructions which came with the card. Prior to installation, you should obtain the SMC Superdisk Version 2.4 for the EtherEZ ISA LAN Adapter. This is available in the PC Store for the asking.

Pre-Installation

Before you perform the installation, you must first extract the drivers from your setup diskette. The following directions explain how this is done for the SMC card sold in the PC store. If you are providing your own card please refer to the instruction m anual to get the drivers.

1) Create a directory called SMC on your hard drive. md c:\smc
2) Copy all the disk contents to this directory. Copy a:\*.* c:\smc
3) Create a directory called DRV. md c:\smc\drv
4) Uncompress the drive archive to this with: SMCG24 C:\SMC\DRV.
5) Using MS-Word or EDIT, open the document: C:\smc\drv\ndis2\wfw_31\win_wkgp.doc

Follow all the direction in this document. It explains how to configure your card and obtain the drivers installed in Step 8 of Installing the Network Interface Drivers.

Next you must obtain the MS-TCP/IP-32 B driver installation diskette. This is a available in a self-extracting archive from the FTP anonymous server at NJIT. To get it, use a friend's computer who is connected and has FTP, or go to any PC lab on campus and FTP it from the server.

1) Make an FTP connection: ftp ftp
2) Login with the user name anonymous, use your e-mail address as a password or use guest@njit.edu
3) Change to binary mode: bin
4) Change directory to the files location. cd \pub\telecom\util\mstcpip
5) Download the file with get mstcpip.exe
6) Copy this file to a floppy, take the floppy to your PC, then go to a DOS prompt.
7) Make a directory called MSTCPIP on your hard drive: md c:\mstcpip
8) Change to that directory: cd c:\mstcpip
9) Copy the MSTCPIP.EXE file to that directory.
10) Extract the archive by running it: mstcpip
