The answer is yes. To do so, you will need a packet driver for your Ethernet board and the version of IPX that uses the packet drivers, plus TCP/IP software for MS-DOS. Packet drivers can be obtained from Clarkson University, on the machine sun.soe.clarkson.edu in /pub/packet-drivers. The packet-driver IPX is available from Brigham Young University, and also on sun.soe.clarkson.edu in /pub/novell. Finally, the TCP/IP software for MS-DOS is available from many sources. We use NCSA Telnet v2.3 beta for command line based usage, and WinQVT/Net for Windows 3.0 users. NCSA Telnet is available from zaphod.ncsa.uiuc.edu in /NCSA_Telnet/PC.2.3beta; WinQVT/Net is available from wuarchive.wustl.edu in /mirrors/msdos/windows3. In order to run TCP/IP and Novell concurrently without reconfiguring your Novell server to use Ethernet II packets (instead of the default 802.3 packets), you will need at least v7.0 of the packet drivers. To bring a system up on the net, do the following: 1. Load the appropriate packet driver, using the -n switch to force Ethernet II<->802.3 translation mode. 2. Load the packet-driver IPX.COM. 3. Load NET3, NET4, or the appropriate variant. At this point, you can log onto the Novell server, start up your TCP/IP software, or whatever. You can start up your TCP/IP software before loading IPX and NETx; just make sure the packet driver is installed first. -- Marc Unangst | mju@mudos.ann-arbor.mi.us | "Bus error: passengers dumped" ...!umich!leebai!mudos!mju |
