- --------------------- FAQlet Begins Here ---------------------------
-
- A. Components of a TCP/IP solution
-
- A-1. What do I need to run TCP/IP on the PC?
-
- To run TCP/IP on the PC you will need:
-
- * Appropriate hardware, such as:
-
- Ethernet card
- Token Ring card
- AppleTalk card
- Serial Port
-
-
- Any other network card with a packet driver or NDIS or ODI driver,
- (such as Arcnet), will also work. If your card supports NetBIOS,
- this is also acceptable, since you can run a packet-driver-over-
- NetBIOS shim.
-
- * Drivers for your hardware.
-
- Your card probably came with one or more of the following drivers:
-
- Network Device Interface Specification (NDIS) drivers
- [spec. by 3Com & Microsoft, used by LAN Manager, Windows
- for Workgroups, and Windows NT. LAN Manager uses NDIS 2.0,
- Windows NT uses 3.0, and WFW supports 2.0 and will support
- 3.0]
- ODI Drivers [spec. by Novell, abbreviation for Open DataLink
- Interface]
- Packet Drivers [spec. by FTP Software]
-
- TCP/IP stacks have been written for each of these driver interfaces,
- so the important thing is whether your chosen stack is compatible
- with the interface available for your card.
-
- A shim is software that runs on top of one set of drivers to
- provide an interface equivalent to another set. This is useful,
- for example,if you are looking to run software requiring an
- NDIS driver(such as Chameleon NFS) alongside software
- requiring a packet driver interface (such as KA9Q, Gopher, Popmail,
- NCSA Telnet, etc.), or run software intended for, say, a packet
- driver over an NDIS driver instead.
-
- Shims are available to run packet drivers over NetBIOS, ODI,
- or NDIS, in order to run software expecting a packet driver over
- NDIS, ODI, or NetBIOS instead.
-
-
- * A TCP/IP protocol stack.
-
- The TCP/IP protocol stack runs on top of the driver software, and
- uses it to access your hardware. If you are running a TCP/IP
- protocol stack that requires drivers that aren't available for your
- hardware, you're in trouble. Check into this before purchasing!
-
-
- * If running Windows applications that require it, WINSOCK.DLL.
-
-
- Windows Sockets is a sockets interface which was created as a
- Windows DLL. Each TCP/IP implementation requires its own version
- of Windows Sockets. There is not yet a freely available Windows
- Sockets implementation released yet, although Trumpet WinSock is
- currently in Alpha test. WINSOCK.DLL provides 16-bit support;
- WSOCK32.DLL provides 32-bit support.
-
-
- * Applications software.
-
- Although most of us in this newsgroup seem to spend our time
- looking for working combinations of applications, WINSOCK.DLL,
- Windows Sockets compliant TCP/IP implementations, shims,
- drivers, and hardware, ultimately your goal is eventually to
- run an application successfully. If and when that ever happens,
- please send me a note, so I can add it to this FAQlet.
-
-
- A-2. What are packet drivers? Where do I get them?
-
- Packet drivers provide a software interface that is independent of the
- interface card you are using, but NOT independent of the particular
- network technology. As Frances K. Selkirk (fks@vaxeline.ftp.com) notes:
-
- "That's one reason they're easier to write than ODI drivers! If you
- write a class three (802.5 Token Ring) driver, you will need to use
- software that expects a class three driver, not software that expects
- a class 1 (DIX ethernet) driver. There are a few drivers that fake class 1.
-
- I believe only class 1 and class 6 (SLIP) drivers are supported by
- freeware packages."
-
- The chances are fair that your Ethernet card came with a packet
- driver, and if so, you should try that first. If not, then you
- can try one of the drivers from the Crynwr collection (formerly
- called the Clarkson Drivers). See the Resource listing for info.
-
- For 3COM drivers, try ftp ftp.3com.com. For technical information,
- try info@3com.com. For marketing and product info, try
- leads@hq.3mail.3com.com.The packet driver specification is available
- from vax.ftp.com in packet-d.ascii
-
- The following vendors have packet drivers with source available for
- their pocket lan adaptors:
-
- D-Link - +1-714-455-1688
- Solectek - +1-619-450-1220
- Accton - +1-415-266-9800
- Compulan - +1-408-922-6888
- (soon Kodiak's Noteport - +1-408-441-6900)
-
-
- A-3. What is Windows Sockets? Where can I get it?
-
- The idea for Windows Sockets was born at Fall Interop '91, during a
- Birds of a Feather session.
-
- From the Windows Sockets specification:
- [courtesy of Mark Towfiq, towfiq@Microdyne.COM]:
-
-
- The Windows Sockets Specification is intended to provide a
- single API to which application developers can program and
- multiple network software vendors can conform. Furthermore, in
- the context of a particular version of Microsoft Windows, it
- defines a binary interface (ABI) such that an application
- written to the Windows Sockets API can work with a conformant
- protocol implementation from any network software vendor.
-
- Windows Sockets will be supported by Windows, Windows for Workgroups,
- Win32s, and Windows NT. It will also support protocols other than TCP/IP.
- Under Windows NT, Microsoft will provides Windows Sockets support over
- TCP/IP and IPX/SPX. DEC will be implementing DECNet. Windows NT will
- include mechanisms for multiple protocol support in Windows Sockets,
- both 32-bit and 16-bit.
-
- As Mark Towfiq notes:
- "The next rev. of Winsock will not be until towards the end of 1993.
- We need 1.1 of the API to become firmly settled and implemented first."
-
- Mark continues:
- "Files and information related to the Windows Sockets API are
- available via FTP (user: "anonymous", password: your e-mail
- address) on the host SunSite.UNC.EDU, in
- /pub/micro/pc-stuff/ms-windows/winsock, which is a mirror of
- /pub/winsock on Microdyne.COM (SunSite has a much
- faster connection to the Internet, so you are advised to use
- that).
-
- If you do not have FTP access to the Internet, send a message
- with the word "help" in the body to either
- ftpmail@SunSite.UNC.Edu, or ftpmail@DECWRL.DEC.Com, to obtain
- information about the FTP to Mail service there."
-
- Alternative sources for the Windows Sockets specification include
- rhino.microsoft.com (an FTP server running NT), as well as the
- Microsoft forum on CompuServe (go msl).
-
- Currently NetManage (NEWT), Distinct, and Frontier are shipping
- Winsock TCP/IP stacks. Wollongong and FTP are in beta. If you are
- looking for a Winsock.dll, you should first contact your TCP/IP
- stack vendor. Windows NT and TCP/IP for Windows for Workgroups are
- currently in beta from Microsoft.
-
- Peter Tattam is alpha-testing a shareware Windows Sockets compliant
- TCP/IP stack. If you're interested in helping with the testing, you
- can obtain it via ftp ftp.utas.edu.au, cd /pc/trumpet/winsock,
- get winsock.zip, winpkt.com.
-
- A-4. What publicly distributable TCP/IP applications are there for
- DOS? Windows?
-
- Right now there are a wealth of publicly distributable TCP/IP
- applications running under DOS. The situation is not as good under
- Windows, although things are developing fast.
-
- See the Resource listings for information.
-
-
- A-5. What software is available for doing SLIP? Compressed SLIP?
- PPP? For DOS? For Windows? For OS/2?
-
- For SLIP, I recommend the SLIPDISK distribution (see resources section
- for listing), since this supports a suite of applications. However,
- this does not support Van Jacobson compression.
-
- KA9Q supports SLIP/CSLIP/PPP, but unfortunately can not be used as a
- TCP/IP protocol stack to run other apps.
-
- [Are there any PPP supporting drivers out there?]
-
- There is a special version of NCSA Telnet for PPP, available from
- merit.edu, /pub/ppp directory.
-
- IBM is reportedly shipping an OS/2 CD-ROM with beta versions of their
- TCP/IP package, for a very good price. The CD includes their TCP/IP
- stack, X-Windows implementation, and TCP/IP developer's kit. Please
- see the FAQ from comp.os.os2.networking for details.
-
- IBM, FTP Software, and Netmanage also offer SLIP support in their
- products. See the resource listings for details.
-
-
- A-6. What diagnostic utilities are available to find problems with
- my connection? Where can I get them?
-
- Frequently used diagnostic utilities include ifconfig (checks the
- configuration of the network interfaces), ping (tests IP layer
- connectivity), traceroute (traces the route that a packet takes
- between two sites), netstat (checks the routing table), tcpdump
- (protocol analyzer), arp (looks at the IP to Ethernet address
- mappings).
-
- KA9Q includes ifconfig, ping and traceroute functions. In KA9Q hop
- check is the equivalent of traceroute. The Trumpet TCP/IP stack also
- has a hopchk2 command that is a traceroute equivalent.
-
- The DNPAP tools (check the resource guide for listings) include
- Ethernet packet catchers, networking monitors and a network host
- profiler.
-
- A-7. How do I install packet drivers for Windows applications?
-
- The secret is to load the packet driver, then run Windows.
-
- A-8. When do I need to install Winpkt?
-
- James Harvey (harvey@iupui.edu) notes:
- Winpkt is only useful running DOS applications with built-in TCP/IP
- stacks under Windows, and for some Windows-based stacks (like the
- Trumpet winsock.dll). When an application registers with a packet
- driver TSR to receive packets of a specified protocol type, one of the
- things it hasto pass as a parameter to the packet driver in the call
- is the address of a routine in the application that the packet driver
- is to call when it has a packet to pass back to the application. In
- the case of an application running in 386 enhanced mode in a DOS shell
- under Windows that is using a packet driver loaded in real mode before
- Windows was loaded, the packet driver must ensure that Windows has the
- application in memory when it does the callback, otherwise the callback
- jumps off into space and your system locks up. Winpkt does a Windows
- system call to force the app into memory before the callback is done.
-
- Erick Engelke (erick@development.uwaterloo.ca) notes:
- Windows in enhanced mode uses the protected mode of the
- 386 CPU to create multiple virtual machines. Winpkt tells
- Windows to switch to the correct virtual machine before
- trying to pass up the packet. This reduces the chances of
- Windows crashing.
-
- A-9. How do I run both WinQVT/Net and ODI?
-
- To do this, you need to install an ODI driver, and then use ODIPKT
- to provide a packet driver style interface to WinQVT/Net. If you
- are using other packet driver applications, you might also install
- PKTMUX as well. The arrangement looks like:
-
- WinQVT/Net Trumpt, NCSA Telnet, PC Gopher
- \ /
- \ WINPKT
- \ /
- PKTMUX (opt.,use if >1 TCP/IP app.)
- |
- |
- Novell |
- \ /
- NETX PKTINT
- \ /
- IPXODI ODIPKT
- \ /
- \ /
- |
- ODI driver and LSL
- |
- Ethernet Card
-
- A-10. Is it possible to use BOOTP over SLIP?
-
- Yes, but it is easier to use dynamic address assignment to get your IP address
- This is where the SLIP server outputs your IP address before switching
- to SLIP.
-
- If you need BOOTP, then you should run a BOOTP server on the SLIP
- server so that it can tell which SLIP connection originated the
- request. Of course, the BOOTP server will ignore the hardware address
- of the request originator, but instead will keep track of the SLIP
- interface the request came in on. See the question on adding BOOTP to
- KA9Q for info on how to handle this on the PC. Under UNIX, you may
- have to add BOOTP capability to your slip driver, and rebuild the
- kernel. (Not recommended for the squimish).
-
-
- A-11. How do SLIP drivers work?
-
- Some TCP/IP applications are written to only support Class 1 (Ethernet)
- packet drivers, but do not support Class 6 (SLIP). For these applications, you
- need software to make the application think it is dealing with a class 1
- interface. This is done by adding fake ethernet headers to incoming
-
- SLIP packets and stripping the headers off outgoing packets.
-
-
- A-12. When do I need to use PKTMUX?
-
- PKTMUX is needed to allow you to use more than one TCP/IP stack at the same
- time. This is useful if you have applications that require different stacks.
- Note that you do not need PKTMUX to run different protocols, since packet
- drivers only look at packets in the protocol they're designed to handle,
- and therefore you can use more than one of these at a time without conflict.
- You also don't need PKTMUX if all your applications use the same TCP/IP stack.
-
-
- PKTMUX works by looking at outgoing datagrams, and caching information on
- source and destination ports and addresses. Using this information, PKTMUX
- tries to sort incoming datagrams by TCP/IP stack. If it can't figure out
- which stack to send a datagram to (as might be the case if you were running
- a server application on a well-known port, and had not sent any outgoing
- packets yet), PKTMUX will send the datagram to all stacks. If all stacks
- do not complain about the datagram, PKTMUX will throw away the ensuing outgoin
- ICMP error message, assuming that one of the stacks correctly received
- the datagram. If all stacks complain, it will send a single ICMP message
- and throw the rest away.
-
- While PKTMUX does its job very well, there are some situations that it cannot
- handle, such as port conflicts. If two applications open the same TCP port,
- chaos is inevitable, and there is little that PKTMUX can do to help.
-
-
- A-13. Can NDIS be used underneath multiple protocol stacks of the same type?
- No. There is no equivalent to PKTMUX for NDIS.
-
- A-14. Is there an NDIS over Packet Driver Shim?
- Joe Doupnik writes:
-
- "No. Packet Drivers work by having an application register
- for a particular packet TYPE, such as 0800 for IP. NDIS does works much
- differently by offering a peekahead of every packet to applications in turn,
- a polling operation. The only way NDIS could gracefully sit on a PD would
- be to run the Packet Driver in all-types mode and let NDIS see all pkts
- not used by other clients. Needless to say, that's an undesirable situation.
- The quick solution, costing about US$100 (at least at my place,
- more at yours) is a second Ethernet board in the client together with a
- second IP address (most important, please)."
-
- A-15. How do I run NetBIOS over TCP/IP?
-
- NetBIOS over TCP/IP is discussed in RFCs 1001 and 1002.
-
- Assuming you don't need any of the extensions to RFC NetBIOS
- Microsoft created to make NetBIOS work smoothly in a routed environment
- (available only in their IP stack), you can choose from a wide variety of
- commercial vendors. For example, FTP Software's PC/TCP includes RFC NetBIOS
- support; Performance Technologies has a NetBIOS that runs over packet drivers,
- as does Accton (LANSoft).
-
- A-16. How do I get my BBS to run over TCP/IP?
-
- First off, let's clarify what we mean by "over TCP/IP." Usually
- this means "accessible via Telnet." Be aware that doing this will
- not necessarily work well, since few BBSes have been tested running
- over TCP/IP. As a result you may experience frequent crashes, or
- abominable transfer rates. For example, I have seen
- transfer rates as low as 100 characters/second over a 14.4 Kbps
- PPP connection which routinely supports 1600 cps transfers with
- FTP.
-
- This situation might be improved by running an FTP server instead.
- This could be accomplished for example by running KA9Q in another
- window under DesQView, or by putting the files on an NFS-mounted
- drive, then using another machine as the FTP server.
-
- One way to hook up a multi-line BBS is to use a terminal server,
- and hook up the BBS's serial ports to that. The disadvantage of this is that
- if your BBS is really big you will need multiple terminal servers
- which will each have their own domain names and TCP/IP addresses.
- Confusing.
-
- Brian Clements of Murkworks has a better solution. This is to run
- a terminal server NLM. This can hook up BBSes of arbitrary size,
- all lines with a single TCP/IP address. This works along with
- a FOSSIL compatible communications driver. For info, contact him
- at bkc@murkworks.com.
-
- In this same vein, there is a line of TCP/IP FOSSIL drivers from
- Daniel J. Karnes (djk@tasp.tasp.net) of NMS & Systems Engineering,
- TASP Development Group, Silverado, CA 92676-0233, (909)245-2286.
-
- According to Daniel:
- "TASP installs in any IBM PC/AT/XT compatible system as a TSR and once
- resident provides an application transparent interface layer for several
- major networking protocols. TASP fully conforms to the FOSSIL specification,
- which means that it will work with any program that can talk to a FOSSIL,
- including Fido, WILDCAT!, PCBoard, Searchlight, and Waffle.
-
- TASP is easily installed and can operate totally independent of any other
- software. A user connects to TASP via a LAN, X.25 link or Internet SLIP
- line and then TASP communicates with the application as if it were a
- modem. All the application need to is to make Int 14 function calls to
- talk to TASP. TASP can make use of the internal COM ports on your system,
- a multiport or multimodem board, or an ethernet card. "
-
- It may also be possible to use Int 14h redirection, as supported by
- the WATTCP Int 14h redirection program (see below).
- I haven't used this, but I have heard that it works with both WILDCAT!
- and QMODEM Pro. If you know differently, please let me know.
-
-
- A-17. Stick diagrams
-
- It has been proposed that we begin to collect some diagrams of working
- combinations of hardware, drivers, shims, stacks, and applications. I'm
- game, and have made a start below. If you've got some other exotic
- configuration that works (or if you've tried one of the configurations below
- and discovered it doesn't work, drop me a line).

- NOTES:
-
- Win/QVTNet must be loaded as the very first Windows application and must be
- kept operating as long as your are in Windows. It appears that its TCP/IP
- stack does some strange things when it disconnects and kills access to the
- actual packet driver.
-
- I run PC gopher and POPMail alternatively, so they share one channel which
- is allocated via PKTDRV before running the application and deallocated
- after the application is finished (I usually throw in a reset command to
- PMTMUX as well just to be safe).
-
- To explain what is happening (as best I can since a lot of this came from
- experimentation):
-
- 1. The packet driver is loaded
- 2. PKTMUX is run over the packet driver in order to multiplex it (in this
- case three channels).
- 3. A virtual packet driver is loaded for Win/QVTNet on interrupt 65 and
- the packet driver is told that it is not to listen for any server
- requests.
- 4. The PKINT shim is loaded over top of the virtual packet driver
- 5. Start Windows and run Win/QVTNet as the first application, it must be
- kept running throughout the Windows session.
- 6. Load a virtual packet driver from a DOS session and start KA9Q. I use
- the following batch file to do this:
-
- c:\network\pktdrv 63 /l
- h:
- cd \
- net091b
- c:\network\pktdrv 63 /uu
- c:\network\pktmux /r
-
- 7. Load a virtual packet driver and run PC Gopher or POPMail as needed. I
- use the following batch files for PC Gopher and POPMail respectively:
-
- c:\network\pktdrv 63
- h:\goph-cli\gopher /T=h:\goph-cli\text /X=h:\goph-cli\binary
- c:\network\pktdrv 63 /uu
-
-
- c:\network\pktdrv 66 /c
- h:\popmail\popmail /noems
- c:\network\pktdrv 66 /uu
-
- 8. The only problem seems to be that the NNTP module in Win/QVTNet will
- not operate correctly if POPMail is operating. Otheriwse it seems to
- work okay without too many problems.
-
- B. Hints for particular packages
-
- B-1. What do I need to know before setting up SLIP or PPP?
-
- Before setting up your SLIP or PPP connection, you should
- have available the following information:
-
- * The domain name and TCP/IP address of your host.
- * Whether your TCP/IP address will be assigned statically,
- dynamically, or from the server.
- * The domain name and TCP/IP address of your machine (if you are not
- configuring the address dynamically or via BOOTP)
- * The domain name and TCP/IP address of the primary and secondary
- Domain Name Server.
- * The subnet mask.
- * The domain name and TCP/IP address of an NNTP server.
- * Whether your host supports POP, and if so, what version.
- * Whether the host supports compressed or uncompressed SLIP, or PPP.
- * The size of the Maximum Receivable Unit (MRU).
-
-
- Do not attempt to connect to your host before you have this
- information, since it will just waste your time and money, and may
- cause problems for the network. In particular, do not attempt to
- initiate a connection using a made up TCP/IP address! It is possible
- that your made-up address may conflict with an existing address.
-
- This is probably the quickest way to get people very angry at you.
-
- Static addressing means that your TCP/IP address will always
- be the same. This makes it easy to configure your setup files.
- Dynamic addressing means that the host will send you a message
- containing your TCP/IP address when you log on. This can be
- problematic if your software doesn't support grabbing the address
- and inserting it into the setup files. If not, then you may have
- to edit your setup files every time you log on. Yuck!
-
- Chameleon NFS includes a version of SLIP which can handle dynamic
- addressing. The most recent version of Novell's Lan Workplace for
- DOS does as well.
-
- If your software supports Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP), then you can
- also determine your address by retrieving it from the BOOTP server.
- PPP also supports server assignment of TCP/IP addresses.
-
-
- B-2. How do I configure SLIPDISK?
-
- SLIPDIAL is part of the SLIPDISK package for the PC, available via
- anonymous FTP to boombox.micro.umn.edu, get /pub/
- lipdial/slipdisk/slipdisk.zip.
-
- It supports uncompressed SLIP via the UMSLIP driver, and is compatible
- with versions of telnet, gopher, popmail, and ftp included in the package.
- However, it is possible to use CSLIPPER with it instead.This package includes
- the PHONE dialer.
-
- From Ashok Aiyar, ashok@biochemistry.cwru.edu:
-
- PHONE Script Files:
-
- PHONE comes with several scripts (for various modems) and for the
- University of Minnesota Terminal server built into it. The command
- PHONE WRITE writes these scripts to an ASCII file called PHONE.CMD,
- which can be edited to your needs (modem and slip server)
-
- The documentation that accompanies PHONE, provides good instructions on
- writing script files to get PHONE to dial SLIP servers other than
- the University of Minnesota server. For example here is a script
- that I use to dial a CISCO server at the University that I attend.
-
- Background: To start a SLIP connection, I dial our terminal server,
- and login with a username and password. After doing so, I start a SLIP
- session with the following command "slip username-slip.dialin.cwru.edu",
- followed by my password -- again.
-
- Here then is the relevant portion of the PHONE.CMD script file -
- #

- How to use packet drivers other than UMSLIP with PHONE?
-
- The quick answer -- there is no "clean" way. Below is a batch file
- hack that I wrote to use PHONE with other packet drivers. In this
- example, the packet driver is Peter Tattam's CSLIPPER. To use a
- batch file like this, you must know the parameters with which you
- plan to use the packet driver -- i.e interrupt vector, baud rate,
- port address, and IRQ. This batch file requires UMSLIP.COM,
- CSLIPPER.EXE, and TERMIN.COM to be in the same directory
- or in your path ...
-
- All that the BATCH file does is to let you dial the SLIP connection
- using PHONE, load the appropriate packet driver, hangup the
- connection, and unload the driver when you are done ...

- B-3. What version of KA9Q should I use and where do I
- get it?
-
- I have tried the latest version of KA9Q (January 1993), but found that it
- locked up my machine, and have gone back to v2.1.
-
- From mike@childsoc.demon.co.uk (Michael Bernardi):
-
- "Demon Internet Services have a dialin Internet service in the UK.
- They also support a customised version of KA9Q optimised for
- dialup, they also support the PCElm mailer, SNEWS news reader and
- a customised front end. There is also a combined NEWS and MAIL
- program called CPPNEWS and an alternative MAIL program called
- VIEW, these last are unsupported by Internet@demon.co.uk but other
- DIS users do support them. All these programs can be found on
- ftp.demon.co.uk in the pub/ibmpc/ directory, and are written to
- work with KA9Q (specifically the DIS version)."
-
- Anthony McCarthy has added a multi-windowing system to KA9Q that
- supports the mouse, which has been recommended. See Resource
- listings for info.
-
-
- B-4. What do I need to run KA9Q? Why won't it do VT-100 emulation?
-
- KA9Q is usually run from a startup script, such as my script
- startnos.bat:
-
- \nos\drivers\8003pkdr
- \nos\net -d \nos
-
- Here I first load the packet drivers for my 8003 Ethernet card, then
- run KA9Q (known as net.exe).
-
- The KA9Q package then reads commands from a configuration file, called
- AUTOEXEC.NOS.
-
- For VT100 emulation with KA9Q, try using Giles Todd's VT102.COM,
- available via ftp from ftp.demon.co.uk, cd /pub/ibmpc/DIS.
-
-
- B-5. How do I configure KA9Q as a SLIP connection? a router?
-
- Here is a sample CSLIP only configuration file:
-
- # Set the host name
- #
- hostname aboba.slip.netcom.com
- ip address [192.187.134.3]
- #
- #
- #
- # Configure COM3 on Interrupt 5, at 38400 bps with
- # RTS/CTS (c) and Van Jacobson Compression (v) and MTU = 1008
- #
- attach asy 0x3e8 5 VJSLIP sl0 8092 1008 38400 cv
- ifconfig sl0 netmask 255.255.255.252
- #
- #
- #
- route add default sl0
- # route all packets over sl0 by default (sl0 is the route to
- # the Internet)
- #
- # Time To Live is the maximum number of hops a packet can take
- # before it is thrown away. This command prevents an inadvertent
- # infinite loop from occuring with packets in the network.
- #
- ip ttl 400
- #
- #-------------------------------------------------
- #
- # The Maximum Segment Size is the largest single transmission that
- # you care to receive. An mss of 216 will force folks to send you
- # packets of 256 characters or less (counting the overhead).
-
- #
- tcp mss 1048
- #
- #-------------------------------------------------
- #
- # The Window parameter establishes the maximum number of bytes that
- # may be outstanding before your system expects an ack. If window is
- # twice as big as mss, for example, there will be two active packets
- # on the channel at any given time. Large values of window provide
- # improved throughput on full-duplex links, but are a problem on the
- # air. Keep mss <= window <= 2*mss if you're on the air.
- #
- #
- tcp window 6888
- #
- #-------------------------------------------------
- #
- # This entry will open net.log in the \spool directory and will
- # record the server activity of your system. If you don't want a log,
- # comment out this line; if you do, make sure you have a \spool
- # directory!
- #
- log \spool\net.log
- #
- #-------------------------------------------------
- #
- # Each of the servers (services you will provide) must be turned
- # on before they will be active. The following entries turn all
- # of them on. To turn any function off use the command 'stop' after
- # NET gets fired up, or just comment out the line here.
- #
- start ftp
- start echo
- start discard
- #start telnet
- start smtp
- #
- isat on
- #
- domain addserver 192.100.81.101
- domain addserver 192.100.81.105
- smtp gateway 140.174.7.1
- #
- #
- # Display Name and IP Address
- #
- hostname
- ip address
- #
- # Just for yucks, lets try calling the other end.
- comm sl0 atdt14082411528
- # THE END
-
- After executing this setup file, you should hear the modem dial out
- to your SLIP host. Enter TIP sl0 at the prompt to be connected to the
- SLIP interface. You will then see your hosts's login prompt. Give
- the login name and password, and when you go into SLIP mode, hit
- F10 to get back to the prompt. Note that newer versions of KA9Q
- may not be compatible with the comm command, since they support
- more sophisticated dialing scripts.
-
- Type RESET 1 at the prompt. This moves session 1 from tip mode into
- SLIP mode. Type another RESET to kill any residual processes that
- may be operating.
-
- At this point you should have a functioning connection. You might
- try to ping your host via the command:
- PING <host adddress>
- If this works, you will then see the round trip time to your host,
- in milliseconds.
-
- Other possible diagnostic commands:
-
- ASYSTAT <interface> Gives statistics on packets received, sent, etc.
- TRACE <interface> 1011 Shows incoming characters
- RIP TRACE 1 Traces RIP packets
- HOPCHK <address> Traces the route to the designated system. Useful
- for figuring out routing problems.
-
- Routing
-
- The KA9Q configuration that follows uses two interfaces, one a CSLIP
- interface to an annex terminal server (sl0), the other an Ethernet
- interface (lan) with another machine (a NeXT) attached.
-
- Note the use of Van Jacobson compression (v) on the slip line, as well
- as the strange interrupt settings (Interrupt 5, port is COM3). One of
- the nice things about KA9Q is that it is flexible enough to deal with
- such situations.
-
- Here is a sample router configuration file:
-
- # Set the host name
- #
- hostname gate.slip.holonet.net
- #
- #
- # Configure COM3 on Interrupt 5, at 38400 bps with
- # RTS/CTS (c) and Van Jacobson Compression (v)
- #

- #
- # FTP, Inc., compatible packet driver installed at software interrupt number
- # 0x60; probably an Ethernet card of some kind.
- #
- attach packet 0x60 lan 2 1500
- ifconfig lan ipaddress [157.151.64.1] netmask 255.255.255.0
- #

- B-6 How do I get KA9Q to support BOOTP?
-
- Steven L. Johnson (johnson@TIGGER.JVNC.NET) notes:
-
- KA9Q does have a bootp client but it is not compiled in by default.
- It has a bug that truncates the returned ip address to 16 bits
- which must be corrected before it will work. It also complains
- about bootp servers that only support RFC 951 bootp without RFC
- 1084 (or 1048) vendor extensions. Other than that it seems to work
- for me.
-
- To enable the bootp client, add the following line to config.h:
-
- #define BOOTP 1
-
- To correct the ip address truncation problem, in bootp.c change:
-
- Ip_addr = (int) reply.yiaddr.s_addr; /* yiaddr */
- ^^^^^problem
- at line 188 to:
-
- Ip_addr = (int32) reply.yiaddr.s_addr; /* yiaddr */
- ^^^^^^^solution
-
- And of course, recompile.
-
- This worked on the src1229 (1991) version and may work on the
- most recent version. I did check to make sure that the bug still
- exists, but I haven't rechecked whether there are additional
- problems in the new version.

-
- B-7 How do I get DesQView X to run over the network?
-
- V1.0 of DesQView X did not include a TCP/IP protocol stack.
- Surprise! The FTP software stack or Novell stack was needed to
- make it work. They've corrected the situation in subsequent
- revisions. Contact QuarterDeck for assistance.
-
- [pricing and availability, anyone?]
-
- B-8. Why is NFS so slow compared with FTP?
-
- NFS usually runs over RPC via UDP, rather than utilizing TCP. NFS only
- acknowledges a write request when the disk completes; there
- are no sliding windows as in TCP. This makes NFS fairly inefficient.
-
- Frances K. Selkirk (fks@vaxeline.ftp.com ) notes:
-
- "There are NFS implementations that use TCP. They are only
- faster over WANs. UDP is faster over most normally functioning LANs.
- The lockstep paradigm is inherent to NFS, but some implementations
- provide the ability to violate it - a speed win when the net is
- reliable, a loss when it is not.
-
- Whatever the transport, NFS will have more overhead than TCP, because
- it is trying to transparently imitate an OS, and has to do a lot of
- shuffling and translating."
-
- B-9 How do I get KA9Q to support PPP?
-
- Here is a sample ppp configuration file:
-
- # Set the host name
- #
- hostname aboba.slip.netcom.com
- ip address [192.187.134.3]
- #

- B-10. How do I get KA9Q to support SLIP dialin?
-
- If you are willing to settle for little or no security, there is not
- much you have to change to allow a KA9Q system to receive calls, as
- opposed to originating them. These should include:
-
- 1. Setting the system to autoanswer, via use of the ATS0=1 command to
- the modem.
-
- 2. Setting up a trace on the router end, to figure out if it's working,
- via the command:
- TRACE <interface> 1011, where <interface> = sl0 for SLIP, or another
- value such as LAN or ether0 for the Ethernet interface. It's probably
- a good idea to put a trace on all interfaces until the system is
- shaken down.
-
- Note that without addition of a special dialing script, this setup
- is completely insecure!
-
- B-11. Where can I get information on running Novell and TCP/IP
- concurrently?
-
- The bit.listserv.novell group (NOVELL@SUVM) regularly posts a FAQ
- which includes information on concurrent use of TCP/IP and Novell
- IPX.
-
- B-12. What Novell TCP/IP NLMs are out there and how do I get them to
- work?
-
- There are publicly distributable FTP daemon and BOOTP NLMs for
- NetWare v3.11. Some have noted that these NLMs tend to crash the
- server after a few hours. [Anyone with better success?] See
- the Resource Listings for info.
-
- B-13. How do I get a telecommunications package supporting Int 14h
- to work?
-
- Int 14h support is becoming increasing common, with vendors such as
- Mustang (QMODEM Pro) having included this feature.
-
- Aside from commercial stacks (such as FTP's PC/TCP),
- try the TCPPORT program in WATTCP, available via ftp
- dorm.rutgers.edu, get /pub/msdos/wattcp/apps.zip.
-
- B-14. How do I get SLIP working with NDIS products such as
- Windows For Workgroup TCP/IP?
-
- Rumour has it that there is a serial NDIS driver available called
- NBR11. This is available via ftp complab.gtri.gatech.edu,
- cd /pub/lanman/ndis.
-
- B-15. How do I get Windows For Workgroups to work alongside Novell?
-
- ODINSUP from Novell is an NDIS over ODI shim. This allows you to run
- software requiring ODI drivers, as well as software requiring NDIS
- drivers. Since IPX and TCP/IP are different protocols, you will not
- need to run PKTMUX.
-
- Available via ftp.novell.com,
- cd /netwire/novfiles/client.kit/doswin/files/WSDOS1.EXE.
-
- B-16. NCSA Telnet doesn't reassemble fragments. What should I do?
-
- Yell at the folks at NCSA to fix the problem, and to notify all
- the people who are using the same TCP/IP code to insert the fix in
- their software as well. This problem is really common, and
- very annoying, and affects NCSA Telnet as well as PC Gopher III,
- and POPmail. One possible workaround is to set the MTU to 576,
- but this will not always work.
-
- Since Matthew Kaufman (matthew@echo.com) has
- provided the following explanation and fix, as detailed
- below, there is really no good reason for this bug not
- to be squashed soon:
-
- How to get rid of the message:
- "IP: fragmented packet received, frags not supported"
- (assuming you have a C compiler and source code)
-
- Many people on the net have complained that NCSA Telnet
- (among other useful PC TCP/IP programs) doesn't properly handle
- fragmented IP packets. this problem becomes especially evident if
- any of your packets are arriving over SLIP connections.
- I figured that the fastest way to get it to work would be to go
- ahead and do it myself rather than wait for it to get to the
- top of the list of desired features.
-
- MANY other programs have used the NCSA TCP/IP implementation, so
- if you maintain a program which does, PLEASE add this fix.
- I (and MANY OTHERS) are unable to use your software until you do.
-
- I posted the basic form of this fix around the beginning of the year,
- but it didn't seem to make it into several subsequent versions of
- related software, so I am posting and mailing this once again, in
- a revised form, with helpful hints at the end.
-
- I request only the following in return:
- This software revision is in the public domain. It may be
- used anywhere without further permission from the author.
- Please credit the origin of the fix in your release notes
- or bug fix document. (I am "Matthew Kaufman, matthew@echo.com")
- If you are the official maintainer of a software package
- which you have added this fix to, please send me an
- email note letting me know that the fix made it in.
- (So I don't need to worry that, for instance, the next
- version of NCSA Telnet or WinQVT/Net isn't going to
- include this) And, please add this fix as soon as possible.
-
- So here's my fix:
-
- The following are the changes to the NCSA Telnet TCP/IP engine to add
- support for IP fragment reassembly. I also know how to make telnet compile
- properly under Borland C without running out of space in DGROUP (see the end o
- this)
-
- if you have any questions, you can reach me at:
- matthew@echo.com. I am willing to help, within the limits of my schedule.
-
- changes follow:
-
- file: engine\ip.c (the only file that needs to change)
-
- delete the following:
- >/*
- >* We cannot handle fragmented IP packets yet, return an error
- >*/
- >
- > if(p->i.frags &0x20) { /* check for a fragmented packet */
- > netposterr(304);
- > return(1);
- > }
-
- ----------
- after the line:
- > iplen-=hlen;
-
- but before the lines:
- > /*
- > * check to make sure that the packet is for me.
-
-
- add this:
-
- /* check for fragment and handle. note that the &0x20 above is WRONG *
- if(p->i.frags) /* NOW check for a fragmented packet - mtk add*/
- {
- ipfraghandle(p,iplen); /* pass in computed iplen to save time */
- return(1);
- }
-
- ----------
- and then, at the end of that file (ip.c) add this:
-

-
- *** helpful hint:
-
- if you run out of space in DGROUP, its because your compiler doesn't
- place each 'far' data object in its own segment. To make things work,
- you need to make the raw packet buffer be in its own segment.
- Here's how:
- in include/pcdefs.h search for:
-
- --> unsigned char far raw[17000];
-
- (the 17000 might be some other number... smaller, if someone tried to
- fix this before)
- and change to
-
- --> unsigned char far raw[17000]={0,0}; /* force into own segment */

- C. Information for developers
-
- C-1. What publicly distributable TCP/IP stacks are there that I can
- use to develop my own applications?
-
- In writing an application, you can use device drivers provided by
- particular vendors, or you can opt for an Application Binary Interface (ABI)
- that supports multiple TCP/IP protocol stacks, such as Winsock. For a given
- version of Windows, Winsock is an ABI for both Windows 3.x and Windows NT
- (via the NT Win16 subsystem).
-
- Device drivers are included with PC-NFS and Beame & Whiteside's
- BW-TCP. Free examples of ABIs are the WATTCP API, the NCSA API
- (public domain), the Trumpet ABI from Peter Tattum, and the NuPOP ABI.
-
- As Mark Towfiq notes, all major TCP/IP vendors will be implementing
- Windows Sockets:

-
- This version of Kermit supports telnet, VT320 and Tektronix emulation,

-
- As Joe Doupnik states:
- "MS-DOS Kermit runs over its own internal TCP/IP stack, as we know,
- over Novell's LWP/DOS+Telapi, over FTP Inc's PC/TCP+Tnglass, over B&W's TCP/IP
- stack, over DEC Pathworks, as well as over anyone's NetBIOS (straight for
- AT&T/NCR Unix logins and EBIOS/ACSI for AT&T/NCR and IBM async servers). It
- supports several Int 14h standards too, plus Int 6Bh, though I have never been
- able to get the NCSA Telnet INT14 program to work for me. This seems like a
- pretty broad set of choices (especially in a 230KB program).
- What we can't do is link in any commercial library to Kermit. The program must
- have completely open source code and be buildable & runnable in the absence of
- every/any vendor's TCP/IP product. Even the C code in MSK can be compiled by
- multiple vendors's compilers and no vendor's run time library (or startup code

-
- QVTNet v3.7 is a Windows v3.1 application that supports FTP client
- and server (not fully graphical; commands are entered at the bottom
- of the window), telnet (up to 15 simultaneous sessions), mail (SMTP
- and POP3), NNTP (up to 30 newsgroups) and lpr. It is compatible with
- SLIPDIAL and is written as a DLL. WinQVT requires you to supply your
- own packet drivers; most Ethernet cards come with such drivers, or if
- not, you can use one from the Crynwr (formerly Clarkson) Packet
- Driver library. It is compatible with AppleTalk. [Hints, anybody?]
-
- WinQVT/Net supports class 6 SLIP drivers, so you do not need to
- use software such as SLIPPER or CSLIPPER with it.

-
- Distinct TCP/IP for Windows - Network Applications v3 integrates
- several Windows based TCP/IP utilities under a single interface.
-
- These include: Distinct Telnet which allows multiple concurrent
- Telnet sessions on different remote hosts, allowing you to cut
- and paste information between these systems as well as between
- the systems and your local host. Distinct FTP is a drag and drop
- FTP which allows you to drag a local or remote file to a local
- printer. Distinct FTP has both a client and a server; this means
- that files can be also transferred by selected users from PC to PC
- (password protection is included). TFTP provides file transfer
- services to communications servers and routers that do not have
- FTP. Network Monitor monitors host-to-host communication and data
- transmission traffic and is able to capture network traffic to a file.

- Recommendation
- PC/TCP v2.2 $400
- Kernel Only $200
-
- PC/TCP v2.2 offers a solid implementation of TCP/IP for DOS, with
- some Windows applications. It includes NFS for UDP or TCP, remote
- login (telnet, rlogin, supdup) with a variety of terminal emulators,
- file transfer (FTP, TFTP, rcp), electronic mail and news (pop2, pop3,
- pcmail, mail, SMTP, NNTP), printing (LPR and print redirection) and
- informational utilities (whois, ping, finger, host). Some kerberos
- support is available to domestic customers. If used alongside Concord
- Communications Mapware controllers, this product is capable of
- handling both OSI and TCP/IP concurrently. 3270 support is OK.
-
- It is available for Ethernet (DIX or 802.3), Token Ring, SLIP, PPP,
- LocalTalk and X.25 interfaces, over packet drivers, ODI drivers, NDIS
- drivers, banyan drivers, and ASI drivers.
-
- This package does not route; you are therefore restricted to
- installing it with PPP, SLIP or Ethernet, but not some combination of
- the above.
-
- PC/TCP is incompatible with Stacker. As of version 2.2, the
- Windows applications have been improved. New to Windows support is
- the ability to mount and unmount NFS drives from within
- Windows, and to use PCNFSD printer services from Windows.
-
- The 2.2 manual includes a 6-page install guidelette, and now
- offers a menu-driven installation and configuration program.

- simultaneously. The package also supports DNS via an implementation
- of BIND, as well as SNMP. ChameleonNFS is compatible with the
- IPX/Link product for Netware from NetManage. Most of the code resides
- in a DLL. Chameleon supports multiple interfaces, and can route between
- them. The newest release supports CSLIP, PPP and NNTP.
