MORE INFORMATION

Pathway Runtime is Wollongong Group's TCP/IP stack. The product comes with an RFC compliant NetBIOS interface and can be used with Windows for Workgroups.

To install Pathway Runtime from Wollongong Group on Windows for Workgroups, do the following:

Install Pathway Runtime using PWSETUP.EXE from the DOS Setup Disk.
Complete the installation using the complete NDIS installation option. (For more information, please refer to the Pathway Runtime manual.

After the installation is complete, change the AUTOEXEC.BAT file such that the "net start" command is executed immediately before the PWTCP command and after the NDIS command. Following is an example of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file after the changes:

rem #------------------------ The Wollongong Group --------------------#
rem #  The following lines are for PathWay Runtime setup. Please DO NOT#
rem #  modify or remove any of them. If you DO want to, please run the #
rem #  setup program to modify or deinstall PathWay for DOS.           #
SET PATH=C:\PATHWAY;%PATH%
PWCONFIG -N:65
NDIS -I:5 -D:3
net start
PWTCP
c:\pathway\NetBIOS
rem #------------------------ The Wollongong Group -------------------#

Make sure that the -I option for the NDIS command refers to the IRQ being used by the network card. The -D option refers to the paragraph number in PROTOCOL.INI referring to the network card.
Run NETBIOS.EXE after PWTCP.EXE. NETBIOS.EXE is the RFC 1001/1002 compliant driver.
Edit the SYSTEM.INI file in the Windows subdirectory and add the following line to the [386enh] section:
```
      V86ModeLanas=0
						
```
This will indicate that the real mode protocol stack will be using Lana 0. Note that Pathway Runtime can only use Lana 0.
Reboot and start Windows.

Pathway Access can now be installed if needed by following instructions provided by Wollongong.
