SUMMARY
NDIS 2.0 drivers are still used by some network vendors with Windows for Workgroups version 3.11. While the configuration for using these drivers with Windows for Workgroups 3.11 is different than with Windows for Workgroups 3.1 due to the migration to the NDIS 3.0 standard in Windows for Workgroups 3.11, it is possible to use NDIS 2.0 drivers with Windows for Workgroups 3.11.



MORE INFORMATION
You can install the real-mode NDIS 2.0 drivers automatically using the Network Setup icon, or you can install the drivers manually.

To install a driver automatically, the network vendor must provide a disk with the driver and an OEMSETUP.INF file for the driver. For information about creating OEMSETUP.INF files, please see the "Microsoft Windows for Workgroups Resource Kit."

To add an NDIS 2.0 driver manually, modify the [Network Drivers] section of the SYSTEM.INI file to contain the following entries: transport= LoadRMDrivers=YES
