NC100 syntax: NC100 [-i] [-d] [-n] [-w] [-p] [-h] [-l] [-f] [-u] where: [-i] The "-i" option forces driver to report itself as IEEE 802.3 instead of Ethernet II. [-d] The "-d" option does not start LAN card until this driver is called by the higher layer programs first. [-n] Your NOVELL server uses NOVELL ISO-like packets. Your NOVELL workstation uses NOVELL 8137 packets. You can use this option to convert NOVELL 8137 packets into NOVELL ISO-like packets. [-w] Steve Wallace added a hack to let the packet drivers run under Windows. This is not to be construed with the proper solution, which is to write a TCP/IP package for Windows. This hack is enabled only when you use the '-w' switch. [-p] The "-p" option is used to disable promiscuous mode. [-h] The "-h" option is used to select the 100Mbps line speed. [-l] The "-l" option is used to select the 10Mbps line speed. [-f] The "-f" option is used to select the full deuplex mode. (note: The option must be used with -h or -l option) [-u] This option unloads the Packet Driver. This specifies the software interrupt (IRQ) where you'll load the packet driver. It must be in the range 0x60 to 0x80. Notice !! The PC/TCP kernel, by default, is loaded at interrupt 0x61 (so don't load the packet driver there!) Example: The following command line loads the Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet Packet Driver at software interrupt 60h. NC100 0x60 Note: The default transmission speed is NWAY auto-detection. Note: The placement of 0x prior to the parameters. After the Packet Driver is loaded, you can run the PC/TCP kernel ETHDRV.EXE. The PC is then ready for PC/TCP communications. To run PC/TCP applications, You need to load PC/TCP Kernel ("ETHDRV.EXE"). a. Refer to PC/TCP manual, Command Reference section, Chapter 2.3. b. The following example will load the Kernel and allocate 8 packet buffers. Increasing the # of packet buffers (from the default of 5) prevents dropping packets due to a buffer shortage. ETHDRV -p 8 c. At this point, you are ready to run PC/TCP applications (e.g., 'ftp', 'telnet'). example ftp 130.172.24.101 , 130.172.24.101 is host address. Regard to host address , you must know its address. For information regarding the "FTP's PC/TCP Network Software for DOS" packages, please contact: FTP Software, Inc. 26 Princess Street Wakefield, MA 01880 (617) 246-0900 How to Communicate with NCSA TelNet. 1. Make sure you have the correct version of NCSA Telnet for the PC. You need version 2.3 or later to support the packet driver interface. 2. Install the NCSA software onto your system. Please refer to the NCSA documentation for detailed instructions. 3. Load Packet Driver (NC100 0x60): a. Refer to "Packet Driver Syntax" section above. b. To view the hint screen, type NC100 -h c. The following example will load the packet driver using interrupt vector 60 (hex). The IO_BASE and IRQ will be read from adapter configuraion space: NC100 0x60 4. At this point you are ready to run NCSA applications (e.g., 'ftp', 'telnet', etc.) for example : ftp 192.72.24.202 , 192.72.24.202 is host address.
