Can some kind soul really help me ?
I am trying to install the "ka9q" networking software on my AT.
The outfit:
IBM PC AT3 with 640k and 30M
VEGA VGA card, with IBM monochrome vga display.
TOPS Fashcard. 2.1 (soft not yet installed, but card installed)
3com 3c503 card
3com 3c501 card
ka9q that I ftp'ed from clarkson.edu, beginning of this july.
I use the packet drivers, as the net.exe I have does not have the
3c501 internal driver option. (When I got TC 2.0 I will retry,
this will take probably too long...)
(Note 1: I tried the whole thing with only the 3c503 installed
(card & driver), and got the same results)
(Note 2: I tried to run NCSA with the same driver, for the 3c503 card
only, and the thing just freeze... ctrl-alt-del wont work... off/on
is the only realthing.... I have no luck with network or what?)
Here are the trace and content of all involved files.

The relevant lines from the original message are: > %%%%%% autoexec.net (1) > attach packet 0x310 0x7d arpa lan 5 1500 > > %%%%%% output from net.exe, with above autoexec.net (1) > No packet driver loaded at int 0x310 > %%%%%% autoexec.net (2) > attach packet 0x300 0x7c arpa lan 5 1500 > > %%%%%% output from net.exe, with above autoexec.net (2) > No packet driver loaded at int 0x300 The problem is improperly-formed "attach" lines. The hardware address of the interface is only used when starting the packet driver itself. NET needs to know only the software interrupt number. Also, the keyword "arpa" is redundant and should not be used. Therefore, in autoexec.net (1) the line should read: attach packet 0x7d lan 5 1500 and in autoexec.net (2) the line should read: attach packet 0x7c lan 5 1500 ---Bob.

Note that the <int#> is the *packet* interrupt number, not the hardware interrupt number (i.e. is 0x7C, not 0x3). Since you're going through the packet driver interface, the higher-level software doesn't need to (and therefore shouldn't) know anything about the hardware address or hardware interrupt number.
