+This directory contains the binaries to install and use IPFW and\r
+DUMMYNET on a Windows Machine. The kernel part is an NDIS module,\r
+whereas the user interface is a command line program.\r
+\r
+1. INSTALL THE NDIS DRIVER\r
+\r
+- open the configuration panel for the network card in use\r
+  (either right click on the icon on the SYSTRAY, or go to\r
+  Control Panel -> Network and select one card)\r
+\r
+- click on Properties->Install->Service->Add\r
+- click on 'Driver Disk' and select 'netipfw.inf' in this folder\r
+- select 'ipfw+dummynet' which is the only service you should see\r
+- click accept on the warnings for the installation of an unknown\r
+  driver (roughly twice per existing network card)\r
+\r
+Now you are ready to use the emulator. To configure it, open a 'cmd'\r
+window and you can use the ipfw command from the command line.\r
+Otherwise click on the 'TESTME.bat' which is a batch program that\r
+runs various tests.\r
+\r
+2. UNINSTALL THE DRIVER\r
+\r
+- select a network card as above.\r
+- click on Properties\r
+- select 'ipfw+dummynet'\r
+- click on 'Remove'\r
