- Wow. What a loaded question!
-
- There *could* be more variables for each person's setup in installing
- winsock, I just know it. :=) So, hopefully, I can provide enough
- information here to the Winsock Professional(tm) to help me get
- started.
-
- First, I'm on a 10baseT network, connected to a Novell LAN. I'm
- running IPX/ODI and a TCP/IP stack. I run PKTMUX which allows me to
- use WinQVTNet under Windows. I can also run the NCSA Telnet/Ftp stuff
- with the configuration below.
-
- I've got a 16bit Accton "ethercombo" card which is set at I/O address
- 280. IRQ is 15. Boot ROM address is D0000. The workstation is a
- Gateway 486/33.
-
- Here's my "net.bat" that gets called at boot:
- c:\net\pktint
- lh c:\net\lsl
- lh c:\net\nwmlid
- lh c:\net\odipkt
- c:\net\pktmux 8 /p /* ver 1.2b loaded at INT 69
- c:\net\pktdrv /pc /* ver 1.2b: at INT 79 using mux at 69
- c:\net\ipxodi
- c:\net\netx
- c:\net\pktdrv 7f /pc /* packet vector at 0x7f
- f:login
-
- My QVTNet settings are: nameserver is 129.79.1.15; my default domain
- is ucs.indiana.edu; my IP number is 156.56.25.11. My packet vector is
- 0x7f. My router (gateway) is 156.56.25.254.
-
- Fine so far. So I've got the Trumpet Winsock. I've NOT loaded
- WINDRV, since the documentation says that it works with PKTMUX.
-
- Here's the banner when I start Trumpet:
-
- Trumpet Winsock Version 1.0 Rev A
- Copyright (c) 1993,1994 by Peter R. Tattam
- All Rights Reserved.
- THIS IS AN UNREGISTERED SHAREWARE VERSION FOR EVALUATION ONLY
- Ethernet address = 00:00:E8:03:D6:3B
- PKTMUX interface packet driver located on vector $78
- My ip = 156.56.25.11 netmask = 255.255.255.0 gateway = 156.56.25.254
-
- Whew.
-
- Is that packet vector correct??? (I've got Trumpet set to packet
- vector "00" per the docs so that it will "search".)
-
- OK: Here's the situation. I've tried a couple Winsock apps that I
- found on a sleazy ftp site (cica :-), and tried to run them.
-
- WSATEST (ftp.cica.indiana.edu:/pub/pc/win3/winsock/wsatest.zip):
- Tests the Winsock interface. When I run it, it actually sees my
- Winsock, I can see the WSAStartup and WSAShutdown messages:
-
- WSAStartup(257,0B77:4D50)
- WSACleanup
- WSAUnhookBlockingHook
-
- However, when I do something with WSATEST, like start a "quick client"
- to a machine, I get:
-
- socket(2,1,0)
- gethostbyname bronze.ucs.indiana.edu
- ARP timed out
- ARP timed out
- ARP timed out
- closesocket(2)
-
- So, Winsock isn't seeing my nameserver (bronze.ucs.indiana.edu:
- 129.79.1.15).
-
- However, QVTNet *does*, so I know it's a valid, working nameserver.
-
- Where am I going wrong? I've tried running Mosaic, but I'm not
- getting any nameservice to resolve IP names. The winsock window says
- "ARP timed out" several times, then Mosaic quits.
-
- So, in thinking that Mosaic wasn't behaving correctly, I thought I'd
- get another Winsock App: Finger for Winsock
- (ftp.cica.indiana.edu:/pub/pc/win3/winsock/finger31.zip). Start
- finger. Ask for finger on "bronze". I see this in my Winsock window:
-
- getservbyname finger
- gethostbyname bronze
- ARP timed out
- ARP timed out
- ARP timed out
-
- So, this means that BOTH WSATEST *and* FINGER see my Winsock. So
- there is communication going. However, no Winsock app can do
- nameservice.
-
- Same for providing an IP number: give FINGER 129.79.1.15 and it still
- reports:
-
- getservbyname finger
- socket(2,1,0)
- connect(2,0A77:278E,16)
- ARP timed out
- ARP timed out
-
- Any ideas?? Does WSATEST, and FINGER, in seeing my Winsock, mean that
- Winsock is running correctly?? Or, because the address resolution isn't
- happening, Winsock is *NOT* running or installed correctly??
-
- I guess more simple questions: *Because* I have connectivity among
- Winsock apps with Trumpet Winsock, does that mean the packet driver
- situation (pktmux/pktdrv) is OK? Or should I try using pktwin?
-
- Any tips would be most appreciated!
-
- Thanks!

- There's a trick to this. The problem occurs because you've got all your
- TCP/IP applications contending for one packet interrupt vector. By using a
- packet multiplexor, you can give each application its own interrupt and keep
- them from fighting with each other. Check out the relevant part of my
- autoexec.bat:
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- cd\net
- lh lsl ** Novell stuff
- lh exp16odi ** driver for my Intel EtherExpress card
- lh ipxodi ** more Novell stuff
-
- rem ** ODIPKT, the packet driver shim, takes its parameters in decimal
- rem ** 97=0x61
- lh odipkt 1 97
-
- rem ** PKTMUX provides four interrupts and resides at interrupt 0x61
- lh pktmux 4 61 10
-
- rem ** PKTINT is the WINQVT packet driver interface
- lh pktint
-
- rem ** Interrupt 0x63 is for WINQVT
- lh pktdrv 0x63
-
- rem ** Interrupt 0x65 is for Trumpet
- lh pktdrv 0x65
-
- rem ** Interrupt 0x7D is for NCSA Telnet and WinTel
- lh pktdrv 0x7D
-
- rem ** Interrrupt 0x7E is for TN3270
- lh pktdrv 0x7E
-
- rem ** WINPKT is required for Winsock applications
- lh winpkt 0x65
-
- netx ps=sfalib
-
- etc.
- ---------------------------------------------
-
- PKTMUX, this autoexec.bat, and some other useful things are available from my
- FTP server, 144.96.244.2, via anonymous login. Look in the \net subdirectory.
