workstation". 2. Continue answering the question prompts in a manner appropriate to your system until you reach the "LAPS Configuration" window. 3. Place the Drivers Diskette in Drive A and select "Other adapters..." 4. At the "Path" prompt, enter... A:\NICDRV This step copies the device driver from the Drivers Diskette to the hard drive and then returns you to the "LAPS Configuration" window. 5. Scroll the "Network Adapters" list box down until you see the entry "HP DeskDirect 10/100 PCI LAN Adapters". Select this entry, then select the "Add" button beneath the list box. This entry will be copied to the "Current Configuration" list box. 6. In the "Protocols" list box, select a network protocol to be used for the server, and select the "Add" button beneath the list box. This entry will be copied to the "Current Configuration" list box, beneath "HP DeskDirect 10/100 PCI LAN Adapters". Select additional protocols in the same manner, as needed. NOTE: To optionally edit the driver's configuration, highlight the "HP 10BaseT PCI LAN Adapter" line in the "Current Configuration" list and select "Edit". 7. Save these settings and continue following the prompts to finish installing LAN Services. In the remaining screens you will have the opportunity to choose IBM's default configuration settings, which work well for the HP J2973A 10BaseT adapter. 8. When you are finished configuring LAN Services, you will be instructed to reboot the system. Once you have done so, OS/2 LAN Server is ready for use. If you encounter problems recognizing the network, boot DOS and run the HPVGSET utility from the Navigator CD-ROM see TIP 10 for instructions on running this utility. (This utility used to be provided on the OS/2 Drivers Diskette). Follow the instructions in the "Setting Up Your Card and LAN Connection" chapter of the Installation Guide. NOTE: The device driver for the HP J2973A 10BaseT Ethernet adapter also works for the HP J2585B 10BaseT/100BaseVG Ethernet adapter. The above set of instructions can be used to configure either the J2973A or the J2585B. Installing LAPS Separately If you are installing OS/2 LAN Services Prior to Version 4.0, you may choose to install and configure IBM's LAN Adapter and Protocol Support (LAPS) program first, and then install OS/2 LAN Server or OS/2 LAN Requester. Most versions of OS/2 LAN Server and OS/2 LAN Requester will recognize the LAPS settings and will be able to make use of the HP J2973A 33
