Are there any problems in using NETBIOS with PC-NFS? A user on campus
is trying to make a program available for use on PC-NFS, but the ?*!?"
program uses a smart hardware dongle to control access. This dongle is
set to allow 10 users to gain access to the program, and it is connected
to one workstation. This workstation uses a NETBIOS to supposedly allow
other workstations to be recorded by the dongle. That is how it should work
in theory.
In practice, it doesn't work. Only the workstation with the dongle works.
The NETBIOS is for a WD8003E Ethernet card, and is dated 1988.
The manual for the software has no reference section - it merely has an
insert that states that a reference section is being written!
Is anyone out there using PC-NFS with NETBIOS for any useful purposes?
Any ideas about this predicament (except for demanding that the company
remove the dongle copy protection)?
Thanks in advance
