- There are several ways to make this work, but this isn't one of them.
- Here is one way:
-
- 1. If this is loading without error you are loading the 3C507 packet
- driver. If the intent is to have an ODI driver actually driving
- the interface, you should be loading the 3C507 ODI MLID driver
- here instead. I think you can get one from 3Com (anonymous FTP
- to ftp.3com.com)
-
- 2. If you load ODIPKT using all defaults it provides a packet driver
- class service depending on the frame type of the 0th (actually
- first) ODI "logical interface" on interrupt 69. You seem to want
- this on interrupt 63 so use "odipkt 0 99" (ODIPKT wants the software
- interrupt number in decimal). This will prevent WINPKT from
- complaining that it can't find it.
-
- 3. You only need to load WINPKT if you are using a Windows-unaware DOS
- TCP/IP application like NCSA Telnet or CUTCP TN3270. If used, these
- applications should use software interrupt 63 for their packet driver
- interface under Windows (using 60 will bypassing WINPKT completely,
- and cause your system to crash and burn).
-
- If you are using WinQVTNet exclusively, you don't need this at all.
-
- 4. Your QVT_NET.RC file should specify the use of software interrupt 63.
- There is no need for PKTINT to go through WINPKT.
-
- Your NET.CFG file should look something like:
-
- Show Dots = On
-
- Link Driver 3C507
- Frame Ethernet_II
- Frame Ethernet_802.3
- Protocol IPX 0 Ethernet_802.3
-
- If you use Ethernet II framing for IPX, use:
-
- Show Dots = On
-
- Link Driver 3C507
- Frame Ethernet_II
- Protocol IPX 8137 Ethernet_II
-
- The fact the the Frame Ethernet_II comes first ensures that the first ODI
- "logical interface" will be the type that ODIPKT wants for TCP/IP.
-
- You don't have to list the protocols for TCP/IP in the Link Driver section,
- since ODIPKT registers with the LSL as a "default" packet handler (gets
- all packets not destined elsewhere). If you prefer to list them they are:
-
- Protocol IP 800 Ethernet_II
- Protocol ARP 806 Ethernet_II
- Protocol RARP 8035 Ethernet_II
-
- HTH.
