Edits Made by Setup to System Files
When you use the Setup program to change a computer’s configuration,
Setup updates system files to reflect your changes. In some cases, this
process can overwrite changes you had previously made to those files
with a text editor.
Setup makes these changes whether or not the automatic tuning feature
is on. The automatic tuning feature primarily affects how Setup treats
values in the LANMAN.INI file. The following sections detail which
system files might be affected. Which files are affected at any particular
time depends on which part of the configuration you are changing.
PROTOCOL.INI
Setup builds this file based on the adapters and drivers you are using.
Setup merges the PROTOCOL.INI files corresponding to the drivers
and transports the computer uses to produce the master
PROTOCOL.INI file in your LAN Manager root directory. Because this
happens every time you save your network configuration with Setup, any
edits you have previously made to the file with a text editor are lost.
To modify the PROTOCOL.INI settings for a particular adapter or
transport driver, modify the PROTOCOL.INI file in the directory where
the driver itself is located. For example, to change an option in the
[netbeui] section of PROTOCOL.INI, change the
LANMAN\DRIVERS\PROTOCOL\NETBEUI\PROTOCOL.INI file.
CONFIG.SYS
Setup modifies all lines concerning LAN Manager (at the end of the file)
and ensures that the LAN Manager NETPROG directory is in the search
path. On computers running OS/2, Setup adds the NETPROG directory
to the libpath line and sets the value of the iopl option to yes. On
computers running HPFS386, Setup sets the value of protectonly to yes
and removes all drivers for MS-DOS. Setup also modifies the ifs line.
AUTOEXEC.BAT
Setup modifies all lines concerning LAN Manager (at the end of the file)
and adds the LAN Manager NETPROG directory to the search path.
This file is used on MS-DOS or dual-boot computers only.
