Insignia Artisoft LANtastic 6.0 ODI Solutions Client, Ethernet Response 3546 Number

General This document describes how to configure Artisoft LANtastic 6.0 to work correctly with SoftWindows 3.0 for Power Macintosh as an ODI client. Ensure your Macintosh can switch to EtherTalk by opening the AppleTalk or Network Control Panel and selecting EtherTalk. (If you can not get the Macintosh to switch to EtherTalk, please consult your information services department or call Apple Technical Support at 1-800-SOS-APPL for assistance). Installation steps These instructions assume that you have SoftWindows installed and running and that you are familiar with the DOS Editor (if you are not familiar with DOS Editor, please refer to a DOS manual or press l in the DOS Editor for Help). You will also need to have the Artisoft LANtastic 6.0 setup diskettes and obtain NETBEU.ZIP from Artisoft technical support. Step 1 Start SoftWindows Step 2 Before installing LANtastic, make the following changes to the CONFIG.SYS. At the C:\> prompt, type EDIT CONFIG.SYS. You need to remove the following lines: DEVICE=C:\INSIGNIA\HOST.SYS DEVICE=C:\INSIGNIA\ASPIDOS.SYS DEVICE=C:\INSIGNIA\ASPIDISK.SYS /d DEVICE=C:\INSIGNIA\ASPICD.SYS /d:cdrom$$$ /norst

Save the changes made to the CONFIG.SYS. Step 3 Select Reset SoftWindows from the SETUP menu to let the changes you made take effect. Step 4 Type A: and press e to get to the A:\> prompt.

Type INSTALL and press e to run the install program from DOS. Step 5 Enter your computer name and accept the defaults for the destination drive and the name of the directory where LANtastic is going to be installed. Step 6 When you are prompted to select additional LANtastic features, you must select Client to 3.11 File Server. This sets up an ODI interface SoftWindows needs to send packets. Step 7 When the installation is finished, eject the floppy diskette (select A:SuperDrive from the EJECT menu) and click OK to reset Windows. Press p when “Starting MS-DOS...” appears to bypass the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS. Proceed to edit the configuration files.

Right after the Loadhigh LSL line, there will be a line which reads NRODI. Make the following change: NRODI

to C:\NOVELL\ETHERSPC.COM

Step 9 Replace the NRODI entries in the STARTNET.BAT with ETHERSPC.

Press the a(Option) key once, then the S key for Search, and then the C key for Change. In the Find What: field, type NRODI. In the Change To: field, type ETHERSPC. Select Find and Verify and allow changes to be made. If you are not connecting to a Novell network, you can remove the IPXODI line. Save the changes made in the STARTNET.BAT file. If you are connecting to a network such as Windows for Workgroups or LAN Manager, you must request NETBEUI.EXE directly from Artisoft and place it in the C:\LANTASTI directory. Save any changes made to the STARTNET.BAT. Refer to the Additional Information section of this document for an example of a working STARTNET.BAT: Step 10 Make changes in the NET.CFG. Type the following from the C:\> prompt: EDIT C:\LANTASTI\NET.CFG

Change the NET.CFG file to look exactly as follows: PROTOCOL ODINSUP BUFFERED BIND ETHERSPC

PROTOCOL IPXODI BIND #1

LINK DRIVER ETHERSPC FRAME ETHERNET_8Ø2.3 FRAME ETHERNET_II FRAME ETHERNET_SNAP FRAME ETHERNET_8Ø2.2 PROTOCOL NETBIOS 81D7 ETHERNET_II PROTOCOL IPX Ø ETHERNET_8Ø2.3 (for NetWare connections) PROTOCOL NETBIOS FØ ETHERNET_8Ø2.2 (for Windows connections)

Save the changes made in the NET.CFG file.

Remove the following lines: C:\INSIGNIA\FSADRIVE E: G: H: CALL C:\INSIGNIA\USECD.BAT

Create the following section after the CALL C:\LANTASTI\STARTNET.BAT line: C:\INSIGNIA\DEVLOD.COM C:\INSIGNIA\HOST.SYS C:\INSIGNIA\DEVLOD.COM C:\INSIGNIA\ASPIDOS.SYS C:\INSIGNIA\DEVLOD.COM C:\INSIGNIA\ASPIDISK.SYS /d C:\INSIGNIA\DEVLOD.COM C:\INSIGNIA\ASPICD.SYS /d:cdrom$$$ /norst C:\INSIGNIA FSADRIVE E: G: H: CALL C:\INSIGNIA\USECD.BAT

Step 12 Modify the PROTOCOL.INI by typing the following at the C:\> prompt: EDIT C:\LASTASTI\PROTOCOL.INI

You will want it to look exactly as follows: [PROTMAN] DriverName=PROTMAN$ Dynamic=Yes Priority=NETBEUI

[NETBEUI_XIF] DriverName=netbeui$ Sessions=6 NCBS=12 Bindings=ETHERSPC LANABASE=1

Save the changes made in the PROTOCOL.INI file. Step 13 Copy the current version of the Link Support Layer into the LANtastic directory by typing the following command: COPY C:\NOVELL\LSL.COM C:\LANTASTI

When prompted to overwrite, type Y. Step 14 Select Reset SoftWindows from the SETUP menu.

SoftWindows should now be configured correctly to work with Artisoft LANtastic 6.0. Microsoft and Novell Network Connections To connect to a Microsoft network such as Windows for Workgroups or LAN Manager, you must request NETBEUI.EXE directly from Artisoft and place it in the C:\LANTASTI directory. This will enable the Microsoft network protocols to be used.

Delete the following line: NCP_Support

This will disable NCP support and allow you to boot up quicker. Simultaneous IPX network connections from both the MacOS and from DOS or Windows running in SoftWindows can be configured using MacIPX. For more information on this feature, please see Insignia Fax Response Document #1521, SoftWindows 2.x, 3.x and 95: Simultaneous IPX Connections.
