Add the following statement to the CONFIG.SYS file: Run=d:\path\PCNETOS2.EXE where d and path are the drive and path to which you copied PCNETOS2.EXE. 6. Restart the server. The failover function is now enabled. Windows NT 1. Add the redundant NIC adapter according to the instructions provided with the adapter and in "Adapters" on page 142. 2.
