- I'm changing the thread subject for reasons that will become obvious when
- you read the several messages that make up this reply.

- Note that I'm running only the 2Mbs LANtastic network <with original LAN
- cards>. I have no experience with either the LANtastic Z network or the
- LANtastic AE2-C 10Mbs network. Until recently, I did not believe that DV
- could be run on a server with the 10Mbs cards. However, Luis Eduardo
- Castellanos [74240,506] reported a couple of weeks ago that he had figured
- out how to do this so you might drop him a note and ask him for the
- settings he uses.

- The following settings run DV on the LANtastic servers attached to my
- network and give 192k of UMB in two segments - 32k between B000-B7FF and
- 160k between D800-FFFF. I'm including the description for my 486 server
- but it also works on my 386 server. On both of my servers, DV is just as
- stable running on the server as it is running on a workstation.

- When reviewing the instructions I sent to you for running DV on a LANtastic
- network server, I accidentally left out the section listing the settings that
- must be entered in DV's network menu. Add the following after the section
- with the Autoexec.Bat settings:
-
-
- SETTINGS FOR DV'S NETWORK SECTION:
-
- Multitask Which Network Interfaces?
- IPX interrupt 7A (Y/N): Y
- NETBIOS (Y/N): N
-
- Memory Usage (in K)
- Network Buffers: 8
