ID: Q190911
|
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMS
After you upgrade to Windows 98 over a Windows 95 installation running the
16-bit Banyan VINES client, you may not have access to the Banyan VINES
network.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur because Windows 98 Setup disables the following
lines in the Config.sys file
Device=c:\Banfiles\protman.dos /i:c:\banfiles
Device=c:\Banfiles\epro.dos (or current real-mode adapter driver)
and adds the following line to the Autoexec.bat file:
c:\windows\net start
RESOLUTION
To restore network connectivity using the Banyan VINES 16-bit client,
follow these steps:
- Click Start, click Run, type sysedit in
the Open box, and then click OK.
- On the Window menu, click Config.sys.
- Remove the "REM-by Windows Setup" text from the following lines:
Device=c:\Banfiles\protman.dos /i:c:\banfiles
Device=c:\Banfiles\<network adapter driver>
- On the Window menu, click Autoexec.bat.
- Type REM, followed by a space at the
beginning of the following line:
c:\windows\net start
- On the File menu, click Exit.
- Click Yes when you are prompted to save the Config.sys and Autoexec.bat
files.
- Restart the computer.
MORE INFORMATION
The Config.sys file should contain the following entries:
Device=c:\Banfiles\protman.dos /i:c:\banfiles
Device=c:\Banfiles\epro.dos (or current real mode nic driver)
The Autoexec.bat file should contain the following VINES stack:
c:\windows\net initialize
cd banfiles
ban /nc
ndisban
redirall
netbind
arswait
z:\login
