Has anyone been able to get a Token Ring Adapter to work with Windows? I looked at the clarkson drivers and there is a driver for the token ring but it says I need to have the IBM LAN software loaded. Anybody know how much this software costs? Also, why is it that when I run TOKREUI.COM and then run Windows 3.0, Windows crashes? I can get the token ring to work if I load TOKREUI.COM in a DOS session under windows but after some time I usually get a SYSTEM INTEGRITY CORRUPTED message. Thanks ED

I am currently attached to four NetWare servers (286 and 386) and have telnet sessions to two UNIX hosts. >I looked at the clarkson drivers and there is a driver for the token >ring but it says I need to have the IBM LAN software loaded.

If you have a volume purchase agreement or are an educational inst. you can get it for $40.00. Note that version 1.2 is actually the current version of this software. I don't have any price information but would expect version 1.2 is roughly equal to version 1.1 in cost. >Also, why is it that when I run TOKREUI.COM and then run Windows 3.0, >Windows crashes?

The configuration I have is: CONFIG.SYS device=c:\bin\HIMEM.SYS ;Microsoft high memory driver device=c:\bin\SMARTDRV.SYS 2048 512 ;Microsoft disk cache device=c:\bin\DXMA0MOD.SYS ;IBM PC LAN Support program device=c:\bin\DXMC0MOD.SYS ,d800 ; " specifies address d800 device=c:\bin\ANSI.SYS ; lastdrive=k ;Makes L: first network drive buffers=10 ;Few buffers because of cache files=30 ;Depends on applications stacks=0,0 ;Save a little RAM shell=c:\COMMAND.COM /e:1024 /p ;Big environment AUTOEXEC.BAT [bunch of stuff to setup environment -- none useful to you] IBMTOKEN.COM 0x61 0 ;Packet driver for Token Ring c:\win\winqvt\PKTINT.COM ;WinQVT/Net packet drv interface IPX.COM ;NetWare IPX protocol driver XMSNET3.EXE ;NetWare DOS redirector shell L: ; LOGIN ;Login on server C: CD C:\WIN WIN ;Start MS-Windows C: CD \ If you are using a NetBios LAN (e.g., IBM PC LAN Program), you will have to add DXMT0MOD.SYS with the requisite configuration options to your CONFIG.SYS, and replace IPX and XMSNET3 with NET START and NET USE commands (as appropriate for your LAN software). Hope this helps. Good luck. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Medici/SysProg3 * Rutgers University/CCIS * medici@elbereth.rutgers.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yup, I run windows using IBM's PC/LAN for Netbios and our DOSIP stuff for TCP access. Both run over IBM's token ring with no problem. Well almost no problem. Every now and then, if you touch a network drive while in a dos box, and then touch it in protected mode, the network drive goes away. It's not a consistant problem for me, so I haven't been able to track it down. When you install windows it asks you which LAN you have. I believe there have been a couple of updates for Novell to work with Windows. If you're running Novell, you might want to call them and ask them about it. From experience I've discovered that the token ring packet driver and IBM's PC/LAN don't particularly get along real well. Either will refuse to load if the other is present (at least that's been my experience). The token ring packet driver works well with Novell though.
