Does anyone have any experience implementing the ne2000 packet driver on Longshine LCS-8634 (16-bit ne2000 clone) NICs. To date, the attempts to load the packet driver/ipx/net4 interface have failed with the ubiquitous message 'a file server could not be found' configuration: 386sx (workstations have boot proms) longshine (shinenet) LCS 8634 NIC software: clarkson drivers: ne2000 -vsn 9.4.0 byu ipx: vsn 3.02 net4.com: vsn 3.02 the responses are as follows: ne2000 -n 0x62 0x05 0x320 packet driver is at segment 146C using 80[123]86 I/O instructions interrupt number 0x5 (5) I/O port 0x320 (800) my ethernet address is FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF ipx net4 ****immediate fail with the missing fileserver message) The supplier has advised me that longshine have released a beta version of a packet driver for the NIC, however it demands ethernet II protocol, and with 95 bootproms on board (as well as the type II bootprom availability question) I would like to stay 802.3 if possible. Does anyone have any hints or suggestions? Any help would be most appreciated. (I suppose LAN workplace for DOS is the cleanest and most expensive answer) Regards to all....... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anne Livnat, Systems Manager School of Economics & Commerce ECOAL@LURE.LATROBE.EDU.AU LaTrobe University, Melbourne Australia ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -
