There's been a discussion here about running 'soss' without PC/IP. randy@chinet.chi.il.us said to set up netdev.sys with only the machine's IP address, and to load the packet driver at 0x7e. I tried this, but get an error about "open failed for netcust". Whut's this? Can anyone help? If you reply via e-mail, please use the address *BELOW* Thanks. -- INTERNET tkevans%woodb@mimsy.umd.edu UUCP ...!{rutgers|ames|uunet}!mimsy!woodb!tkevans US MAIL 6401 Security Blvd, 2-Q-2 Operations, Baltimore, MD 21235 PHONE (301) 965-3286

I haven't followed the earlier discussion, but SOSS *contains* PC/IP so it would be misleading to suggest it can be "run without PC/IP". The basic steps are as follows: - Edit config.sys to contain "DEVICE=NETDEV.SYS" - Run custom and do at least the following: A. Set the IP address to a unique number on your subnet B. Set the subnet mask properly (to get 255.255.255.0, a commonly-used Class C configuration, use 16) - Edit the export.us file - Reboot to load up netdev - Invoke the packet driver - Invoke Novell IPX and NET3/4, if desired - Invoke SOSS I'll start following this newsgroup regularly and implement any minor suggestions or bug fixes found here. (Major contributions are welcome, like creating a client-side TSR version or an NLM version that will run on a Novell server.) For those who don't know what SOSS is, it's a public-domain NFS server that runs on a DOS system containing an Ethernet card. It is now widely available, as of two weeks ago; it was originally developed by See-mong Tan, and I added a number of modifications and am now supporting it to the extent that I have time. -rich

But, can anyone tell me how to get the compatibility kit, PC-NFS with Packet Drivers, working? What is the load order and any special things that have to be done to make it work. I am starting to loose ALL my hair! Jim -- ARPANET: jadpc!jdeitch@nosc.mil INTERNET: jdeitch@jadpc.cts.com UUCP: nosc!jadpc!jdeitch
