- How To Set Up Lantastic 6.0 for Network INT14 Logins
- (or at least how it worked for me)
-
- Only LANTASTIC VERSION 6.0 will support IPX LAN LOGINS! 5.x will NOT! If
- you are using the older AE2x NIC's from Artisoft you MUST rejumper them to
- put them into NE2000 compatible mode. Also, ALL Servers & Workstations on
- your network must be changed to IPX/NDIS or they won't talk to each other.
-
- Make sure your network is running properly in "normal" Lantastic 6.0 peer to
- peer mode. Once that is setup you will need to extract the rest of the files
- manually from the Lantastic install disks (or if you have an install resource
- set up on a hard drive you can get it from there) to get NDIS/IPX support.
-
- If you are running "NE2000" compatible cards you will need to find a copy of
- NE2000.EXE. This is widely available and is probably posted here on the BBS.
-
- Once you are running a complete lantastic peer-peer network you need the
- following additional files to support TBBS 2.3 net logins (all of which,
- except NE2000, are (well hidden) right on the Lant 6.0 disks).
-
-
- NE2000.EXE (for NE2000 compatible cards)
- or
- NRODI.EXE (for Noderunner cards)
- (If you are using other cards - Intel, SMC etc, they have their own drivers
- to replace NE2000.EXE and ODINSUP.COM)
- PROTMAN.DOS
- PROTMAN.EXE
- LSL.COM
- IPXODI.COM
- ODINSUP.COM
- AI-NDIS.EXE
- NET.CFG (a text file which goes in root directory)
- PROTOCOL.INI (in the lantastic directory)
-
- To get these files from your Lantastic distribution disks install your DISK
- number 1, log into it's drive and type INSTALL/EXTRACT/DOS. Select LIST OF
- ADAPTER DRIVERS and LANTASTIC NOVELL WORKSTATION CLIENT files and hit enter.
- From the LIST OF ADAPTER DRIVERS select AEX NDIS SUPPORT FOR ARTISOFT
- ADAPTERS. All the above files (except NE2000.EXE) will be extracted to the
- directory you chose.
-
- Normal Lantastic startup batch file (before IPX) looks like this:
-
- AEX (or NEX000 for NE2000 cards or NR.EXE for NODERUNNER cards)
- AILANBIO
- REDIR
- SERVER
-
- You need to make the following modifications for IPX support.
-
- In config.sys add the following line:
-
- DEVICE=C:\LANTASTI\PROTMAN.DOS
-
- Your autoexec.bat (or startnet.bat) should be changed to look like this:
-
- LSL
- NE2000 (replaces NEX000 or AEX.COM)
- - or -
- NRODI.COM (replaces NR.EXE)
- IPXODI A (the "A" switch reduces memory useage)
- ODINSUP
- AI-NDIS BIND_TO=NE2000 RECEIVE_BUFFERS=4 NO_RECEIVE_HOLDOFF
- AILANBIO
- REDIR <MACHINE NAME>
- SERVER (if you are installing a server)
-
- There will also be a file called NET.CFG extracted that needs to be slightly
- modified. As it comes it looks like:
-
- PROTOCOL ODINSUP
- BUFFERED
-
- PROTOCOL IPXODI
- BIND #1
-
- LINK DRIVER NRODI (if you are using NODERUNNER cards)
- -OR-
- LINK DRIVER NE2000 (for NE2000 compatible cards)
- FRAME ETHERNET_802.2
- FRAME ETHERNET_II
- FRAME ETHERNET_SNAP
- FRAME ETHERNET_802.3
- ; add the following 2 lines
- PORT 300 <------ this is the I/O port your NE2000 is using
- INT 10 <------ this is the IRQ your card is using
-
- Make sure all the above support files are in your \LANATASTI directory. If
- you are using other NIC's (INTEL, SMC etc) the installation is the same
- except you must use their ODI support files to replace ODINSUP & NE2000.
-
- All these files require a MUCH LARGER memory useage then your "normal"
- Lantastic setup so it is almost a MUST to load much of this high. I get
- consistent 43000 cps xfer rates across my small (3 station) network using
- Qmodem Pro (DOS).
