Is anyone out there using Sun Microsystems' PC-NFS package with MS-DOS 4.01? I am working with an Ethernet network of Sun-3 and -4 workstations, with several PC-AT and AT-clones set up as PC-NFS clients. I recently upgraded one of the micros (a genuine PC-AT) from DOS 3.2 to 4.01. The new DOS seems to coexist with PC-NFS, but now some (not ALL) of the DOS commands do not work on the remote (NFS-mounted) drives. For example, the DOS COPY command. DIR will list the files on a remote drive, but it prints "Invalid function" instead of displaying the number of files and free space. These commands worked without any trouble with the older DOS version. My guess is that the PC-NFS version I have (3.0) is just plain incompatible with DOS 4.01. Does anyone know of a more recent version? Please respond via email, if convenient. Thanks in advance for your help.

I am running PCNFS3.0.1 off of 286's and 386sx's MSDOS 3.3 and 4.01 respectively. The server is a Sun sparcstation 1+. I use XTree Gold and have had no problems at all. Have you installed the PSNFS daemon supplied on the PCNFS server floppies. I am also running the LOCKD. The PC's have WD8003EB lan cards. I would be happy to conduct any other correspondence via email. Regards werdnA
