4.8. Configuring Novell network using DNS

1. If you haven't installed the appropriate driver software for your Ethernet adapter, do so now. Descriptions to perform this task is beyond the scope of this document. [Natural language processing Definition]

2. Downloaded tcpip16.exe from The Novell LanWorkPlace page

3. edit c:\nwclient\startnet.bat: (here is a copy of mine) SET NWLANGUAGE=ENGLISH LH LSL.COM LH KTC2000.COM LH IPXODI.COM LH tcpip LH VLM.EXE F:

4. edit c:\nwclient\net.cfg: (change link driver to yours i.e. NE2000) Link Driver KTC2000 Protocol IPX 0 ETHERNET_802.3 Frame ETHERNET_802.3 Frame Ethernet_II FRAME Ethernet_802.2 NetWare DOS Requester FIRST NETWORK DRIVE = F USE DEFAULTS = OFF VLM = CONN.VLM VLM = IPXNCP.VLM VLM = TRAN.VLM VLM = SECURITY.VLM VLM = NDS.VLM VLM = BIND.VLM VLM = NWP.VLM VLM = FIO.VLM VLM = GENERAL.VLM VLM = REDIR.VLM VLM = PRINT.VLM VLM = NETX.VLM Link Support Buffers 8 1500 MemPool 4096 Protocol TCPIP PATH SCRIPT C:\NET\SCRIPT PATH PROFILE C:\NET\PROFILE PATH LWP_CFG C:\NET\HSTACC PATH TCP_CFG C:\NET\TCP ip_address 192.168.0.xxx ip_router 192.168.0.1 Change the IP address in the above "ip_address" field (192.168.0.x, 1 < x < 255) and finally create c:\bin\resolv.cfg: SEARCH DNS HOSTS SEQUENTIAL NAMESERVER xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx NAMESERVER yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy

5. Now edit the above "NAMESERVER" entries and replace them with the correct IP addresses for your local DNS server.

6. Issue a ping command: ping 192.168.0.1 to test the connection to your gateway machine. (This is only an INTERNAL LAN connection test, you can't .:: hedgedoc.digillab.uni-augsburg.de ::. ping the outside world yet.) If you don't see "replies" to your PINGs, please verify your network configuration. .:: postheaven.net ::. [Research Paper: ASP.NET] .:: br.pinterest.com ::.
