I'm trying to get PCROUTE working with two packet drivers to get TCP/IP services over ARCNET. Here is my AUTOEXEC.BAT: echo off cls arcnet 0x60 2 0x2e0 0xd000 pause wd8003e 0x61 3 0x360 0xd800 pause pcroute *BUT* I never get past the ARCNET command! It always reports: Initialization Failed! Packet Driver failed to initialize card and I'm dead! WAH! I've tried SMC and TC ARcnet cards, old and new SMC's and the system runs std IPX just fine. In fact, I get the files to test from the network and re-boot. I've tried version 6.0 and 7.0 of the ARCNET packet driver. Running REAL 6mhz PC AT w/ 640K ram, 1 floppy DOS 3.3 files=30 buffers=20 DANG! Any help? --------------------------------------------------------------------- David K.

Like this: echo off cls ipx net3 ipxpkt 0x60 pause wd8003e 0x61 3 0x360 0xd800 pause pcroute 1. Disadvantage: You need to run Netware and ipxpkt on all arcnet nodes (ip is incapsulated in ipx). 2. Advantage: It goes through Netware bridges. -- John Robert Breeden, netcom!jbreeden@apple.com, apple!netcom!jbreeden, ATTMAIL:!jbreeden ------------------------------------------------------------------- "The nice thing about standards is that you have so many to choose from.
