PC Compatibility Crd: AppleShare Client for Windows Set Up

I have a Power Macintosh 7200/120 computer with a PC Compatibility Card installed running Windows v3.11. I am having difficulty configuring the AppleShare Client for Windows to work under the PC/DOS card and Windows for WorkGroups. I need the IRQ, DMA and interrupt settings.

Where can I find this information?

These instructions are in Appendix B of the PC Compatibility Card User's Manual, page 155.



Installing AppleShare for Windows in Windows for Workgroups



This section describes how to install and set up the AppleShare for Windows protocol for use with an ODI driver in Windows for Workgroups.



1) Install the NetWare client software.
For more information, see "Installing NewWare Client Software" earlier in this appendix.



2) Install AppleShare for windows according to the instructions that came with it.



3) Refer to "Running the Network Protocol Setup (SETNET) Utility" near the end of this appendix and follow the instructions there.

4)
After running setnet, make sure your configuration files contain the following sections.



Note: These sections assume no other network software is installed.



NET.CFG (with ODI support installed)


LINK SUPPORTPROTOCOL APPLETALK
LINK DRIVER MACODI




ATDRIVER.BAT (with ODI support installed)

If you install a NetWare client after the AppleShare client, make sure that IPXODI and VLM are loaded after ATDRIVER.BAT in the NET.CFG file.



NOTE: To run the AppleTalk protocol in both the Apple and DOS environments you must have a Macintosh with the Curio Prime Ethernet interface. For more information see the Tech Info Library article titled, "DOS Compatibility Cards and Supported Protocols".

System Management Reporter - can collect and be
used to report on general system health. In fact when IBM customers
report problems to the IBM Software Service Organization, they are
requested to submit a report from PerfPMR.

A general or detailed report on system errors can be generated by using
the SMIT Problem Determination section's Error Log section. From there
you can generate an error report with numerous options.

Performance and Monitoring Tools
Listed below are four general areas of performance and tools to help in monitoring these areas.

Please see the Tech Info Library article "Apple Network Server 500 or 700: Seems Slow" for sample output of these commands.



CPU usageIndividual processes can be deleted if necessary, have their priority changed, or be run at a different time of day to maximize CPU usage and minimize CPU overloading.

Memory
vmstat - will report on virtual memory. The pi and po fields under the page heading are of particular importance. pi may be meaningless since some processes page in at start time. po on the other hand, if the count is large, could be an indication of paging problems.



Disk and Other Local Peripheral I/O
iostat - will report on I/O statistics. Look for the distribution of disk usage between hard drives. The iowait column can also be an indication of disk problems.



Network Performance

netstat - can report on network configuration and some statistics

nfsstat - can report on some network statistics




The SMIT Performance and Resource Scheduling

As stated above almost all of these commands can be accessed from the SMIT Performance and Resource Scheduling section which has the following sub-sections:
