The PROTOCOL.INI File

The PROTOCOL.INI file describes all protocol and media-access

control drivers and defines how to bind them together. PROTOCOL.INI

also contains media-access control information such as the input/output

(I/O) address, direct memory access (DMA), and interrupts. You can

edit PROTOCOL.INI to specify the drivers that work together, and you

can fine-tune the parameters they use when exchanging data. The

PROTOCOL.INI file is read by LAN Manager’s Protocol Manager

module.

Entries in the PROTOCOL.INI and CONFIG.SYS files are loaded and

configured with network drivers. When the system starts, the Protocol

Manager program reads the PROTOCOL.INI file and binds information

from this file together with the protocol and driver modules. The

changes you make to PROTOCOL.INI take effect when you reboot the

computer.

Monolithic drivers aren’t included in PROTOCOL.INI because they

have no configuration options in relation to other device drivers. Some

may have options defined on the device line in CONFIG.SYS; for more

information, see the network adapter manual(s).

Note

Before changing PROTOCOL.INI file, make a backup copy of it.

The PROTOCOL.INI file has the same general format as the

LANMAN.INI file. Each section contains a set of configuration options

in the following form:

[section-name]

name = value

[...]

The section-name must be in brackets and can be any alphanumeric

name with as many as 15 characters, including spaces, in a mixture of

uppercase and lowercase letters. Because these sections refer to specific

drivers, you should name them accordingly. For example, the section

for an IBM Token-Ring driver could be named [tokenring].

When the Setup program installs drivers, it determines the names for

the sections. These names must not be changed or Setup will not

operate correctly.
