- I have a user who just replaced his Compaq 386/20 with a Dell
- 466DE (66MHZ DX-2, 16MB RAM, 320MB IDE drive) and who finds that
- his PC/TCP will not work properly on the new machine. We moved
- his 3c503/16 to the new system, without changing any jumper settings
- (base i/o 310, shared memory disabled) and have removed all other
- add-in devices from the Dell system.
-
- We're using the NDIS drivers, with NDIS-to-packet driver
- (dis_pkt) shim and netbind. protocol.ini specifies
- interrupt vector 60H; we've tried others with no luck,
- as well as having tried all the hardware IRQ possibilities.
- The 3com board passes all diagnostics.
-
- PC/TCP loads without complaint and you can ping the PC
- from elsewhere on the network, as well as use PC/TCP's
- ping to access other systems. The problem comes with
- ftp. In ASCII mode, file transfers seem to work ok, but
- in binary mode, anything other than a small file (10Kbytes
- or so) results in a lockup of the PC. This happens both in
- DOS and in Microsoft Windows.
-
- Prior to getting the new system, the user had no problems
- whatsoever with PC/TCP on the Compaq.
-
- If anyone is using this particular combination of hardware/
- software and has everything working properly, could you
- please e-mail me your autoexec.bat, config.sys, protocol.ini,
- pctcp.ini, etc? And, if anyone has any ideas, or knows anything
- about the Dell-3c503 combination with PC/TCP, please let me
- hear from you. Thanks.
