must already be running on your server.
Installing the NDIS2 Driver Software for Use on MS-DOS Platforms
The NDIS2 driver software can be run from an MS-DOS startup disk using Microsoft Network Client 3.0 or from the hard disk
using Microsoft LAN Manager 2.2.

DOS Utilities package, or any of the Windows driver packages downloaded from Dell.
