| HUBwatch includes the PATHWORKS IP stack. Therefore, support for
drivers, etc. are inherited from PW. There is no royalty arrangement
with XIRCOM to include XIRCOM NIC drivers in PW as there is with the
other 50 or so drivers available in the PW kit.
The installation has been modified for the "Other" NIC driver option
to clearly ask for the appropriate driver directory and name.
Now there is an example of the syntax for the input.
Also, the installation now includes a template for the PROTOCOL.INI.
FYI, the reason that the PROTOCOL.INI was missing sections is because that
is the file that is provided on your NIC card driver diskette. During
the installation this is copied to the \IPSTACK directory. The PW
installation is an extensive procedure that reads these files and
merges the information to produce PROTOCOL.INI.
Now the installation will copy the incomplete PROTOCOL.INI form the NIC
driver diskette and rename it to PROTOCOL.DRV. You will have to
manually merge this information into the PROTOCOL.TMP template.
The best source of information for PW related questions can be found in:
NOTED::PWWINDOSV5 - PW for Windows and DOS V5
RANGER::WFW - Windows for Workgroup (XIRCOM is mentioned here)
RANGER::NETWARE - NETWARE info

| Jon,
Could you post the CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT and PROTOCOL.INI that you
used to get HUBwatch up on the laptop using a Xircom adapter. I've been
trying for a bit and havn't guessed the correct solution yet. Since you
obviously have, I would be most appreciative if you could post them
here or send them to me via e-mail.

| The ONLY things that need changed are the PROTOCOL.INI file...AUTOEXEC
nor CONFIG need any attention...the PROTOCOL.INI file for the PE2 from
XIRCOM....

| I have the XIRCOM PCMCIA card in my DECpc 425SL working with
everything but DECndu. DECROU (for NIS loader and bootp & tftp services),
HUBwatch for Windows, IRIS, Pathworks, Workgroups for Windows all work OK.
Laptop has 8Mb memory and 200Mb hard drive (stacked into C: (150Mb) d: (190Mb)
and e: (30Mb)).
Here is a copy of my CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT,\DECNET\PROTOCOL.INI and
