| 3123.1 | have you tried this? | SUBSYS::MSOUCY | MentalmETALMike | Tue May 20 1997 10:56 | 16 |

Hi, I am no expert on this, but what about setting up the dos boot to
be able to run the network software (DOS based I would expect for both
machines), or run the games from DOS windows on each machine, at least
that way you have the network up and running. I was going to do
something like this eventually (when I build another pentium, if I even
do that...).
It sounds like the network stuff isn't running on DOS because it isn't
installed. Can you install a DOS version of this for the W95 machine?
If so, remember to create a multi-boot scenario or boot from floppy to
conserve as much base memory as you can. I've seen how bad these
Digital PC's chew up memory with some networking stuff installed and
their scripts run on startup! Talk about not much memory left!

This is exactly the information that I would like to know. I have tried
making a boot floppy, by adding what I think should be on it, but at
every startup, error messages are displayed. [I can provide a sample
if required]
A note (in this topic) containing a list of files for a boot floppy
would be *very* useful.
Martin.

| 3123.3 | Just use Windows 95 | alfras1_port13.alf.dec.com::jennings | I'm still here | Wed May 21 1997 07:51 | 9 |
| The easiest thing is to just boot Windows 95 and run the DOS games in a DOS
session. If you just boot DOS, then you'll need real mode network drivers, real
mode CD-ROM drivers, real mode disk cache, etc. All those things are
already built into Windows 95!
I have two computers at home and used to use DOS with real mode drivers for
gaming. Just for grins, I decided to rip out all the real mode stuff and just
boot W95. Guess what, the performance was better using the normal W95 code.
Plus, I got a TCP/IP stack as well as the NETBEUI and NPX/IPX stacks.

| 3123.4 | Using IPX??? | 45862::16.42.3.105::hiltong | [email protected] | Tue May 27 1997 12:49 | 13 |
| Martin,
Assuming you are trying to use IPX (Novell Netware) you need some
files, then run this these files from DOS:
lsl.com
decmlid.com ---> This is unique to your Ethernet card, it's the
Novell ODI driver, should be on a diskette.
ipxodi.com

| Thanks Greg,
I have always wondered from where IPX originated - I had no idea it was
from Novell.
