- I've got an NI6510 ethernet card in my PC. I got hold of a packet
- driver for it from the Internet, version 9.1 by Russell Nelson, and I
- got PDETHER 1.01 by Don Provan of Novell.
-
- Here's what I do:-
-
- AUTOEXEC.BAT:
-
- NI6510 -n 0x70
- LSL
- PDETHER
- IPXODI
- NETX
-
- NET.CFG:
-
- Link Support
- Buffers 8 1514
- Mempool 4K
-
- Protocol TCPIP
- bind PDEther
- ip_address 192.199.200.60
- ip_router 0.0.0.0
- ip_netmask 0.0.0.0
- tcp_sockets 8
- udp_sockets 8
- raw_sockets 1
- nb_sessions 4
- nb_commands 8
- nb_adapter 0
- nb_domain
-
- Packet Driver PDEther
- Int 0x70
- Frame Ethernet_II
-
-
- I tried "NI6510 -n 0x70 9 0x360" too, which is what the ODI NI6510
- driver uses, but the driver seems to ignore the IRQ and PORT arguments
- so I left them out. The "-n" is in there so that IPX packets are framed
- using "raw" Ethernet 802.3 instead of Ethernet II.
-
-
- The problem: NETX hangs!
-
- I started off with version 10.1 of the ni6510 packet driver from Crynwr
- Software (how _do_ you pronounce that?) but had exactly the same
- problem. I move the 9.1 driver because the PDETHER doc said that was
- the current version at the time of writing.
-
- I know that PDETHER works because I'm using it now on top of ODIPKT and
- PKTMUX+PKTDRV*2 so that I can run WinQVT/Net and LAN WorkPlace at the same
- time (I do so like File Express, but Host Presenter... sorry).
-
- So where am I going wrong?
-
- Any help would be greatly appreciated.
