The Microsoft Network Client Software is available for download free of charge on MSDL, or at a charge of $49.95 from Microsoft Inside Sales. The terms and conditions of the software is an unlimited user license described in the README.TXT file, available for download as README.EXE in the same locations as the software.

To download the software from the MSDL, dial (425) 936-6735. To obtain the software from Microsoft Inside sales call (800) 426-9400 and request SKU #2723850V100.

The Microsoft Network Client software contains the following network clients and software:

LAN Manager Basic Client Software for MS-DOS(R) Clients LAN Manager Enhanced Software for MS-DOS Clients LAN Manager Client Software for OS/2 Clients TCP/IP Protocol Stack Microsoft Data Link Control (DLC) Protocol Microsoft Remote Access Service (RAS) Client NetWare(R) Client Software for MS-DOS Clients

Before you can run the Setup program to install the Microsoft Network Client, you must download the appropriate disk image files, and create floppy disk installation sets of the Network Client files. For MS-DOS based clients, there are five files that you must download. For OS/2 based clients, there are four files that you must download. Each file is a self- extracting zip file that expands into a disk image of one of the installation disks.

Within the respective MS-DOS and OS/2 client download areas, the file naming convention is

DSKx-n.EXE (for MS-DOS based clients) OS23-n.EXE (for OS/2 based clients)

where x specifies the size of the floppy disk (3 for 3.5-inch 1.44 MB floppies, or 5 for 5.25-inch 1.2 MB floppies), and n specifies the disk number (1 to 5 for MS-DOS based client, 1 to 4 for OS/2 based client).

To create a floppy disk installation set, use the following syntax to copy each of the disk images to an external drive

-d

at the command prompt. The -d indicates that the directories on DSK3-1.EXE are to be copied onto a disk located in the B drive. For example, to create a 3.5-inch (1.44 MB) floppy disk of DSK3-1.EXE, type the following:

DSK3-1.EXE -d b:

For the Microsoft Network Client for MS-DOS, label each of the five disks as follows:
