A note about the future of ecsoft2.org

ecsoft2.org runs on software (Drupal 7 and PHP 7.4) that reached its end of life years ago and no longer receives security updates. Keeping the site online safely is getting harder.

Giving it a future means migrating it to a current platform — and that is only worth doing if people still use it and want to help keep it alive.

If you care about ecsoft2.org, as a user, a contributor, or someone willing to lend a hand, please ggambatiscali [dot] it (get in touch) by January 31, 2027.

If no one comes forward by then, the site will be turned into a read-only archive, so that its content stays available.

How to install a network adapter driver

Submitted by gabriele on Sun, 16/08/2015 - 18:37

To install a network adapter driver, unzip the driver package to a temporary folder then run the "Adapters and Protocols" WPS object, located in the "System - Network" folder. In eComStation it will start the naps.exe program:

in the menu, choose "Adapter - Change driver" to update/modify an existing driver, or "Adapter - Add" to add a new driver;
choose "Other adapter", find the path to the temporary folder with the unpacked driver and select OK. The updated driver should be installed;
If needed, select "Parameters" and verify that the base I/O port address, IRQ and other settings match those used by your network adapter;
if needed, change or add the needed network protocols;
in che menu, choose "File - Exit" and reboot.

In a non-eComstation system, the "Network Adapters and Protocol Services" WPS object starts mpts.exe:

select "Configure MPTS", then select "Lan adapters and protocols" and choose "Configure";
select "Have Disk", enter the path where you unzipped the driver and select "OK". The updated driver should be installed;
if needed, click on the "Settings" button and verify that the base I/O port address, IRQ and other settings match those used by your network adapter;
add just installed LAN card to your configuration and select required protocols for it using "Add network card" and "Add protocol";
press "OK", save, exit and re-boot.
