- PCN2L.LAN is just the LAN driver for the card. You also need PCN2LRPL.NLM
- and perhaps PCN2.RPL to answer RPL requests. Here's how I've got it
- set up on our 3.11 server (in AUTOEXEC.NCF):
- -------------------------------------------
- load PCN2L name=EH105 frame=IBM_PCN2_SNAP port=628
- load PCN2L name=EH105-802.2 frame=IBM_PCN2_802.2 port=628
- bind IPX to EH105 net=8af77000
- bind IPX to EH105-802.2 net=8af77001
- load PCN2LRPL
- bind PCN2LRPL to EH105-802.2
- -------------------------------------------
- I have the ODI drivers set to use the IBM_PCN2_SNAP frame type for IPX,
- but I believe the RPL ROMs on the network cards only understand the
- 802.2 frame type, so I have both frame types loaded and two logical IPX
- networks on the one wire. If I remember right, I couldn't get the ODI
- drivers to work when I tried to use the 802.2 frame type for IPX. The
- whole *##* IBM PC Baseband network was a huge pain in my posterior, so
- when I finally got it working with NetWare 3.11, I didn't screw around
- with it and try to make it work with just the 802.2 frame type on the
- wire.
-
- If you need the other two files I mentioned, let me know and I'll send 'em.
