After not having touched dos for a decade or so i am back :-) At a client side we need access to a clipper app which uses an spx based transaction server. The server runs netware 4.01 the client is linux. Shouldn't be a problem using dosemu ... I installed the dos emu rpm. Fired it up and it ran. Using the=20 redirector we could access the server just fine until we discovered there is no spx .... After some googling the natural way seems to get rid of freedos and=20 replace it with drdos. Then use a packet driver. No problem I thought. After a two hour fight I got drdos up and running, got the nwclient, installed pdether, turned off ipx support in .dosemurc and turned the packet driver on. Configured startnet.bat and net.cfg. =46ired the whole thing up and got that [DR-DOS] C:\NWCLIENT>C:\NWCLIENT\PDETHER.EXE Ethernet Packet Driver MLID, v1.01, built Nov 01 1991 at 16:30:31 WARNING: Could not add protocol 'IPX', ID 8137 hex. Packet Driver Error: Bad type. =46ATAL: Could not read MAC address from Packet Driver. Reason: No protocols connected to Packet Driver. Net.cfg is cut and pasted from Lauri Tischlers example. Startnet.bat simply loads the drivers. These are my network settings in .dosemurc # If enabled, the internal IPX.COM compatible driver will be used. $_ipxsupport =3D (off) # If this is enabled, a network packet driver interface will be present= =2E $_pktdriver =3D (on) # If enabled, the packet driver will translate Novell 8137 packets to=20 raw 802.3 # frames. $_novell_hack =3D (off) # If using a packet driver interface, this is the operating system's ne= twork # interface that will be used. $_netdev =3D "eth0" # This setting is for tunneling DOS network traffic through the host=20 operating # system. If using dosnet, set this to "dosnet", if using TUN/TAP set=20 this to # "tap". This setting overrides the "netdev" setting. $_vnet =3D "" Anyone has a clue ? Brgds Peter BTW. it sometimes eats my net.cfg .... BTW. Is there a way I can convert an image to a directory as with the freedos setup of my linux distro (suse) ? --=20 dadi-linux www.dadi-linux.de Peter Eckhardt Fon: +49 6071 951256 Weberstr. 36B Fax: +49 6071 951257 64846 Gro=DF-Zimmern peter.eckhardt@dadi-linux.de - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" = in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
