Run Winsock on Win 3.1 NT client
I have a Win3.1 NT client with NETBEIU connecting to a NT server. Now I want to connect my computer to Internet over a LAN, so I have to install Trumpet winsock in order to run mail client or Telnet client etc on my computer.
How can I change my set up to achieve the above?
I've tried to add a packet drive to the protocol.ini but failed. Please explain your answer in details. Thank you.
My previous description to the problem (as above) may cause some misleadings. Let me be more specific to the question.
My desktop is running Windows 3.1 and connecting to a NT server using
"NT client for DOS". It works fine when multiprotocols are used.
Now I want to connect my desktop via a LAN (to a Unix server connected to the Internet instead of a modem) and use winsock mail, ftp clients etc.
Those clients have to be running on winsock. Then I installed a packet driver by changing my autoexec.bat (referring to the sample as below. However, both connections to NT server and the 'Internet server' were broken. I feel my settings are not quite right.
----original settings ----
[config.sys]
device=D:\NET\ifshlp.sys
LASTDRIVE=Z
[autoexec.bat]
SET PATH=D:\NET
D:\NET\net start
the rest are not listed....
----new settings------
[autoexec.bat]
SET PATH=D:\NET
....
d:\net\3c5x9pd -w 0x60 iobase=0x300
d:\net\winpkt 0x60
....
D:\NET\net start

Hmmm ..... I never used NT version 3.1 so I wonder whether it has
its own Microsoft TCP/IP stack (NT4.0 and win95 have that). In
case NT3.1 is shipped with a microsoft tcp/ip stack, than you
should use it! If it is not, then use Trumpet winsock. I used them for win3.1 (not NT though) and they worked ok.
All I had to do was to configure it with ip, gateway etc. settings and to put them into the autostart-group. You should not
need to edit protocol.ini yourself!
On some of our NT4.0 machines we have Microsoft TCP/IP and NetBeui running without problems of interferance between those
two protocols. If you encounter problems with your network-access
after installing Trumpet, probably consider removing NetBeui
(TCP/IP is by far superiour to it anyway) ....
Hope that helps
