[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] Help - quick - on ncsa 3c523 aui port from thin

DMPM@DUKEMC.BITNET (James Dryfoos- PostMaster) (09/21/90)

How do you tell NCSA to use the aui port on the 3c523 instead
of the thin port?

Thanks

Boot PS/2 from reference disk

1. 3Com's ethernet configuration device driver has a command line switch to 
direct the card to either the thin-net or AUI port.

2. Run NCSA on the Clarkson Packet Driver. The packet driver supports a 
command line switch for which port (at least 503.com does as of Version 6, I 
assume that the driver for the 523 does too).

3. Run NCSA on an NDIS driver (via FTP's dis_pkt.dos). 3Com's NDIS MAC
driver has an entry in protocol.ini for which port to use.
