Configuring PC/TCP for Windows for Workgroups 3.11

• Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11

SUMMARY

This article explains the configuration procedure of FTP Software's PC/TCP version 2.3 for Windows for Workgroups version 3.11.

MORE INFORMATION

There are three configuration options available of running PC/TCP version 2.3 in Windows for Workgroups version 3.11, which are with NetBEUI only, NetBEUI and NetBIOS, and NetBIOS only.

NetBEUI Only

1. Choose Real Mode NDIS Driver (NDIS2) during the Windows for Workgroups Setup procedure.

2. Make the following changes to the CONFIG.SYS file:

   - Verify the following line:

           Device=<drive>:\<path>\ifshlp.sys
   
      - Remove any entries that load the Protocol manager or an NDIS-specific
        NIC driver.
   
   

3. Make the following changes to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

   - Make sure that the NET START command precedes any TSRs (Terminate and

        Stay Resident programs).
   

        NOTE: Remove the NETBIND command if it exists.
   

   - Add the following line to load the PC/TCP kernel after the NET START

        command:
   

           <drive>:\<path>\Kernel
   
   

4. Make the following changes to the SYSTEM.INI file:

   - Verify and add the following line to the [Boot] section:

           Network.drv=wfwnet.drv
           Secondnet.drv=<drive>:\<path>\pctcpnet.drv
   
      - Add the following line to the [386Enh] section:
   
           Secondnet=drive:\path\vpctcp.386
   
      - If you are going to use PC-NFS to mount remote drivers or printers,
        add the following line to the [386Enh] section:
   
           Device=drive:\path\wfwftp.386
   
        NOTE: You must use the WFWFTP.386 file available through FTP
              Software Technical Support BBS at (508) 659-6240. The filename
              is WFW311.EXE. The WFWFTP.386 file created for Windows for
              Workgroups 3.11 will also work with Windows for Workgroups 3.1,
              but not the other way around.
   
      - Verify and add the following entries are in the [network drivers]
        section:
   
           Netcard=<NDIS driver>
           Transport=ndishlp.sys,*netbeui, <drive>:\<path>\dis_pkt.gup
           LoadRMDrivers=Yes
   
   

5. Make the following changes to the PROTOCOL.INI file:

   - Add a [PKTDRV] section and the following entries:

           [PKTDRV]
           DriverName=PKTDRV$
           Bindings=<Windows for Workgroups driver section name>
           IntVec=<Available Software Interrupt>
           ChainVec=<Available Software Interrupt>
   
        NOTE: Common interrupts available for entries IntVec and ChainVec are
              0x60 and 0x65, respectively.
   
   

6. Restart your computer to start running Windows for Workgroups over the NetBEUI stack.

NetBEUI and NetBIOS

1. Follow steps 1 - 5 from the previous section of NetBEUI Only.

2. Add the following line to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

         <drive>:\<path>\Netbios
   

3. Make the following changes to the PROTOCOL.INI file:

   - In the [network.setup] section, change the lana0= entry to lanax=

        (where x is the next available adapter number).
   

   - In the [NETBEUI] section, change LANABASE=0 to LANABASE=x (where

        x is the same number as the adapter number in the previous bullet).
   

4. Make the following changes to the PCTCP.INI file:

   - In the [pctcp netbios] section, include the following NetBIOS specific

        parameters:
   

           [pctcp netbios]
           Ncbs=64
           Names=32
           Sessions=n (where n equals the same value that is assigned to the
                       Tcp-Connections= entry in the [pctcp kernel] section of
                       the PCTCP.INI file).
   
   

5. Restart your computer to start running Windows for Workgroups over the NetBEUI and NetBIOS stacks.

NetBIOS Only

1. Follow all the steps in the two previous sections of NetBEUI Only and NetBEUI and NetBIOS.

2. Comment out the NetMisc= and Transport= entries in the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file by placing a semicolon (;) in front of each entry.

   For example:

         ;NetMisc= <entry>
         ;Transport= <entry>
   

3. Restart your computer to start running Windows for Workgroups over the NetBIOS stack.
