TCP/IP protocoll stack LAN WORKPLACE (Novell)
DRAFT COPY - Currently under review and edit.
INTRODUCTION:
=============
TCP/IP is the most stable network and internetworking protocol
This little describtion should show you the lowest requirements on DOS
WHY YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS:
===========================
To run the Dos - exetutable of Progress V7 together with TCP/IP it's
necessary to have TCP/IP loaded on the dos - layer
PROCEDURAL APPROACH:
====================
1.The Internet address to get the executable tcpip.exe for tests :
the file tcp16.exe contains the tcpip.exe downloadable from :
ftp://ftp.novell.com/pub/updates/unixconn/lwdos42/ (Attent copyrights)
2 . A little example how the directory structur may look like :
Directory of C:\TCP
. <DIR> 24.11.96 17:04
.. <DIR> 24.11.96 17:04
NET CFG 341 28.09.96 17:41
STARTCP BAT 48 28.09.96 17:46
TCPIP EXE 71169 05.03.96 17:01
LSL COM 17990 02.12.93 12:16
3C5X9 COM 36523 06.09.94 15:16
3C5X9 INS 896 19.05.93 16:57
TCP <DIR> 24.11.96 17:04
Directory of C:\TCP\TCP
. <DIR> 24.11.96 17:04
.. <DIR> 24.11.96 17:04
HOSTS 118426 15.08.96 10:18
NETWORKS 662 01.02.94 4:12
PROTOCOL 315 01.02.94 4:12
SERVICES 10311 22.06.96 15:27
4 file(s) 129714 bytes
3. So looks the contents of the net.cfg :
Link Driver 3C5X9
Frame ETHERNET_II
PORT 300
INT 10
link support
buffers 8 1586
mempool 4096
Protocol TCPIP
ip_router 177.73.173.250
ip_netmask 255.255.0.0
ip_address 177.73.166.38
PATH TCP_CFG C:\tcp\TCP
tcp_sockets 16
udp_sockets 16
raw_sockets 1
4. The contents of the file STARTCP.BAT :
C:\TCP\LSL
C:\TCP\3C5X9.COM
C:\TCP\TCPIP.EXE
Explanation : The example above is for a configuration for a 3-com
networkcard driver 3c5x9 in an ip-net class B . Each IP - Address for
each host has to be unique . If you want to work in the Internet
thatswhy it's to consider to have an other as already exist there ,
but if you work only locally you have only to attent your addresses
in the local net , when there is no physically connection to the inter
net . In the ip - address the first two numbers quoted with a dot
stand in a Class-B net for the network address while the last two
numbers are the individual host address part . The class of the
network is defined by the first of the 4 numbers quoted by the dot .
To make the connection working in one net the networking address part
has to be equal for each host in the network while the host part has
to be different . Consider also to have the same frame type . For
Ethernet the for TCP/IP supported frame type is ETHERNET_II .
