326.0. "More than 1 circ possible? DECnet over TCP/IP?" by DAVIDF::FOX (David B. Fox -- DTN 285-2091) Fri May 30 1997 11:52

    I have a testbed PC running Windows '95 V4.0b that has 3 NICs... Fast
    Ethernet, Slow Ethernet, and FDDI.  I assume I tell Pathworks-32 which
    interface I want to use by going into the Control Panel/Network and
    add/delete the appropriate Pathworks device.  Correct?
    
    My problem comes down to a basic question first... can I have more than
    one active interface?  I'd like to use the FE and SE interfaces if
    possible.
    
    NCP is only allowing me to have an ETHER-1.  I've tried creating an
    ETHER-2 to no avail.  How do I know which of the Ethernet interfaces is
    going to be ETHER-1?  I've removed two of the three PATHWORKS
    interfaces and still have no connectivity to the router.
    
    Lastly, DOTI (DECnet Over TCP/IP).  I looked for the DECITOT.INF file
    in the PW32 directory (then scanned the whole disk).  I don't seem to
    have it.  I thought I selected it, if asked, during the install.  What
    needs to be done to make this work?
    
    	Thanks!

    As this is a stand-alone system, I disabled the License Manager as I
    don't have any licenses.  Could this be a problem too?
    
    	Thanks!

PATHWORKS 32 v7.0:

1)  Does not support multiple network adapters
2)  Does not contain DECnet over TCP/IP due to last minute problems.

PATHWORKS 32 v7.0a:

1)  Does not support multiple network adapters
2)  Supports DECnet over TCP/IP.

326.3Got it working...DAVIDF::FOXDavid B. Fox -- DTN 285-2091Thu Jun 05 1997 16:458
    Jeff,
    	Thanks for the clarification.  I've got it working by only having
    one interface added to Pathworks in the Network Control Panel.  If I
    should choose to have Pathworks run over the FDDI interface, will it
    work?  I presume it would still use circuit ETHER-1.  Correct?
    
    	Thanks!

326.4Yes, probablySPELNK::curlessThu Jun 05 1997 18:037
PATHWORKS 32 will work over FDDI, if and only if the FDDI network adapter
looks like an Ethernet network adapter (to NDIS).

If not, PATHWORKS 32 will not work... as specified in the release notes.
