1. The Banyan Macintosh client runs on top of NDIS and uses Ethernet II frames with a magic number of 0xBAD. So to run it with the DOS Compatibility Card, you must first set up the NET.CFG file to reflect this. The following is a sample Banyan NET.CFG file for DOS Compatibility Card.
Link Driver MACODI
Frame ETHERNET_802.3
Frame ETHERNET_802.2
Frame ETHERNET_II
Frame ETHERNET_SNAP
Protocol BANYAN BAD ETHERNET_II
int 6
port 300
Protocol ODINSUP
Bind MACODI
2. Run the following to set up the DOS Compatible for Banyan. This has been tested with lsl v2.05 and ODINSUP v1.22. These files are not included with the DOS Compatibility Card and must be obtained from a Novell client installation.
LSL
MACODI
ODINSUP
3. Configure VINES. Include following the line in the CONFIG.SYS file.
DEVICE=C:\\BAN\\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\\BAN
If you've installed the software somewhere instead of C:\\BAN, substitute your directory here. The configuration file for PROTMAN.DOS is called PROTOCOL.INI. It should be in the C:\\BAN directory and should contain the following:
[protocol manager]
drivername = PROTMAN$
[VINES_XIF]
DRIVERNAME = NDISBAN.DOS$
BINDINGS = MACODI
4. - Run PCCONFIG, the Banyan configuration program.
- Choose the first option, "Network Card Settings".
- Choose "NDIS Ethernet."
- In the configuration screen, configure IRQ 10, driver name MACODI.
- Press F10 to save the changes.
- Choose the second option, "Login Environment Settings".
- Configure NDIS Ethernet.
- Press F10 to save the changes.
5. Restart your computer, then type the following to get VINES running (from the Banyan directory, or wherever you have put it).
BAN /NC NDISBAN NETBIND ARSWAIT REDIR4 Z: LOGIN
Note: Ignore the "network driver not enabled" message. This message means it is working.
If you can run everything, but cannot access files on the Z: drive, make sure the protocol line is in the NET.CFG file.
