- Installing Microsoft TCP/IP
- ---------------------------
-
- If you have installed a previous version of Microsoft TCP/IP for
- Windows for Workgroups (such as the TCP/IP support offered with
- LAN Manager Version 2.2), be sure to remove it before running the
- installation procedure described in the section entitled "Installing
- and Configuring Microsoft TCP/IP" in the MSTCPIP.HLP Help file.
-
- Ensure that you follow the installation procedure carefully and
- that you run the Setup program from the distribution diskette.
- If you try to install Microsoft TCP/IP through the Add Protocol section
- of Windows Network Setup, the installation will not work properly because
- the Setup program may need to install an updated Network option in
- the Control Panel.
-
-
- Using Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows for Workgroups with ODI Drivers
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Windows for Workgroups provides support for mapping protect-mode
- NDIS 3 transport protocols to ODI network card drivers, however
- supoport for mapping real-mode NDIS 2 transport protocols (e.g.,
- Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows for Workgroups) is not provided.
-
- Novell Inc. provides support for running NDIS 2 protocols (such as
- Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows for Workgroups) on top of ODI drivers
- using the ODINSUP.COM driver, however support for using the ODINSUP
- driver is not available from Microsoft. For tips on configuring
- the ODINSUP driver for use with Microsoft's TCP/IP protocol stack,
- contact the Microsoft FastTips automated service (seven days a week,
- 24 hours a day) at 1-800-936-4200 and request the Windows for
- Workgroups 3.11 FastTips Item ID 107632 if you are using the NetWare
- 3.x client software (NETX.EXE), or the FastTips Item ID 107648 if you
- are using the NetWare 4.x client software (VLM.EXE). These articles
- contains installation instructions to manually install TCP/IP with
- Windows for Workgroups when using ODI drivers.
-
-
- If you are using a DEC Ethernet Network Card
- --------------------------------------------
-
- If your system hangs when the tcptsr.exe driver is loaded, check
- your PROTOCOL.INI file for the section for the DEC network card
- and, if present, remove or remark out (by preceding the line with
- a semi-colon) the line that lists the entry "MaxRCBuffers=0".
- Removing or remarking out the line will clear up the problem.
