That would probably be the 1207odi.com (for the EN1207D-TX
NIC I have) I tried to run. When I run it I get:
HP EN1207D-TX PCI 10/100 Fast Ethernet MLID v0.50 (980709)
Copyright (C) 1998 HEWLETT PACKARD All Rights Reserved.
1207ODI-DOS-1: The LSL is not loaded.
I have also tried to use the NET commands that come with
Win98. NET START INIT, NET START BASIC, NET START NWLINK,
etc.. However, they say they cannot load the PROTMAN.DOS
file. I unpack that from the Win98 CD and I end up being
told that the PROTMAN.EXE file cannot be found.
The only files found in the DOS directory of the Disks are:
1207ODI.COM
DRIVERS.DOS
1207ODI.INS
I tried copying the DRIVERS.DOS file over as PROTMAN.DOS
without any luck. I tried renaming the 1207ODI.INS file
as PROTMAN.DOS. I had it working once with Win95 a long
time ago, and I seem to remember getting it to work with
Win98 when I upgraded. I just can't remember what I did
at that time to do it.
