I downloaded and installed WNQVTNET this week and I love it! however, I am having a couple of problems. 1) Each time I start the application the message "packet driver error:0" is displayed. After clicking the OK button all is well. 2) MORE SERIOUS: When I do mgets from FTP the files are sent over and over again (multiple times) and I must manually stop the transfer. The packet driver I am using is not from clarkson but works well with NCSA telnet/ftp and FTP Software PC/TCP. Any ideas? Larry Harmon

I am currently working on a 386sx running windows. I am trying to get WinQVTnet
working with the 3c503 board and packet drivers I am using. I keep getting the
dialog box unable to initialize network. I was wondering if anyone else has
had this problem and if so what did/have you done about it?
Thanks for your time

The 3c503 card can operate with its on board memory disabled - with PCNFS or it can use WnQVTnet or NCSA Telnet etc with that memory enabled. If you were aware of this and had changed the on-board jumpers to enble the memory, the problem may be with either the packet driver that you are using, or with the WnQVTnet configuration file (qvt_tcp.rc). Failing all this, you could try the following 1. Grab the file w3pktdr2.zip (the Windows Packet Drivers),from the ~ftp/pub/pc/win3/util directory of cica.cica.indiana.edu (129.79.20.22) 2. Extract 3c503.com and save it to disk (in the same directory that you use for qvtnet for e.g.). 3. The 3c503 driver requires a packet interrupt nuber, e.g. 0x69 a hardware interrupt number 2 an i/o address for the card 0x280 a cable type parameter (0 for thick, 1 for thin) 0 ***note that the docs with the packet drivers have this bit back-to-front. 4. The file "qvt_tcp.rc" must be modified to make it all come together. In my case the lines that I modified were as follows: pc_ip=192.83.238.6 # required, your IP number netmask=255.255.255.0 # subnetting mask; optional domain="adl.dmt.csiro.au" # default domain for lookup (optional). packet_vector=69 # packet driver int vector (hex, with NO leading '0x') auto_start=aegir, # list of configs to start at load time ftp_server=on # background FTP server: on or off rcp_server=on # background rcp server: on or off nntp_host=aegir # name of NNTP server, if available passfile=d:\windows\qvtnet\passwd # the passwd file used by the FTP server ftp_logfile=d:\windows\qvtnet\ftp_log # the name of the FTP logfile anonftp_dir=f:\ftp # the dir to which anonymous FTP users are restricted # # End of Global Section . . . # Beginning of 'User Configuration' Section # This is where your configurations will be defined # name=sun # configuration name (mandatory) host=aegir # host name (mandatory) host_ip=192.83.238.8 # IP address of this host. gateway=1 # gateway level, starting with 1 (optional) nameserver=1 # nameserver level, starting with 1 (optional) color=white boldcolor=green backcolor=blue same_as=default # copy all other values from 'default' 4. Add the following lines to your autoexec.bat. <path>\3c503 0x69 2 0x280 0 <path>\pktint.com Note that the two commands must be executed in sequence. 5. Boot windows and give WnQVTnet a try. Hope that this helps.
