How to setup TCP/IP and IPX for DOS?
Solution:
Prerequisite: Network Adapter Drivers for Packet Driver or ODI DOS TCP/IP application program (e.g. NCSA Telnet, FTP) Before you setup the software, please use the diagnostic program provided by vendor to setup the IRQ and IO address. Then test the Hardware to make sure it? s OK. There are two popular ways to achieve this, with Packet Driver or ODI Driver. I) Use Packet Driver If you just want to load TCP/IP and there is a Packet Driver for your Network Adapter. Example 1: PKT9008.COM for UM9008 Network Adapter >PKT9008.COM 0x60 0x5 0x300 >REM Following is your TCP/IP Application >REM For example: NCSA TELNET >TELNET If you want to load two protocol, TCP/IP and IPX. Example 2: >PKT9008.COM 0x60 0x5 0x300 >PKIPX.EXE >NETX.EXE II) Use ODI Driver If you want to load both IPX and TCP/IP, ODI (Open Datalink Interface) will be a good choice. (Following example use NE2000 compatible Network Adapter.)
