DOSEMU SPX PDETHER SOLVED!!!!

Hi,

i just respond to my own mail. But as I didn't find documentation how to make the above work in current dosemus i will summarize how to get SPX working

1. Create a dosemu image which uses msdos or drdos (i used drdos) I did it as follows
cd <DOSEMU_LIBDIR>
mkfat_image16 -k 32768 -p > drdos.img

in your .dosemurc change
$_hdimage to read $_hdimage="<DOSEMU_LIBDIR/freedos.img <DOSEMU_LIBDIR>/drdos.img"

if you are on it also set
$_ipx_support=(off)
$_pktdriver=(on)
$_novell_hack=(on)
$_netdev="tap0"
$_vnet="tap"

start dosemu (your drdos image should now be on D:) in dosemu do format D: (that didn't work when run from the drdos install, don't know why)

in your .dsoemurc change
$_hdimage to $_hdimage="<DOSEMU_LIBDIR/drdos.img"

Create drdos floppies and run

dosemu -A with the first disk in floppy A (usually /dev/fd0) install drdos

Copy the dosemu gnu and help directories from your old
installation to the drdos image. You can use the same scanrio as above.

     Create a tmp directory in C:

     Edit your config.sys and autoexec.bat

     - config.sys

     SWITCHES=/F
     DOS=UMB,HIGH
     dosdata=umb
     DEVICEHIGH=C:\dosemu\ems.sys
     DEVICEHIGH=C:\DRDOS\SETVER.EXE
     SHELLHIGH=C:\COMMAND.COM C:\ /E:1024 /P
     BREAK=OFF
     BUFFERS=15
     FILES=40
     FCBS=4,4
     LASTDRIVE=Z
     HISTORY=ON,512,ON
     COUNTRY=1,,C:\DRDOS\COUNTRY.SYS


     - autoexec.bat-

     @ECHO Off
     PATH C:\DRDOS;C:\;c:\gnu;C:\dosemu
     set HELPPATH=C:\help
     set TEMP=C:\tmp
     PROMPT [DR-DOS] $P$G
     unix -s DOSDRIVE_D
     if "%DOSDRIVE_D% == "" goto nodrived
     lredir d: linux\fs%DOSDRIVE_D%
     :nodrived
     unix -s DOSEMU_VERSION
     SET DRDOSCFG=C:\DRDOS
     NWCACHE 512 256 /LEND=ON /DELAY=OFF
     unix -e

2. Get the nwclient discs from novell and install them into C:\nwclient Get pdether-1.03
Check that you have tun/tap installed in your linux. If not simply
get the sources and install.
Put the following line in /etc/modules.conf

      alias char-major-10-200 tun

Make sure /dev/net/tun is accessible by the user who runs dosemu. On
my client box i did a chmod a+rwx /dev/net/tun /dev/tap* (DANGER!!!!)

Create a startnet.bat and net.cfg in dosemu

CD C:\NWCLIENT
edit ....

- startnet.bat -

SET NWLANGUAGE=DEUTSCH
LH C:\NWCLIENT\LSL /c=C:\NWCLIENT\net.cfg
C:\NWCLIENT\PDETHER.EXE
LH C:\NWCLIENT\IPXODI.COM
rem LH C:\NWCLIENT\NETX
LH C:\NWCLIENT\VLM.EXE

- net.cfg -

          VLM=PRINT.VLM
          VLM=GENERAL.VLM
          VLM=REDIR.VLM
          VLM=NETX.VLM

NetWare DOS Requester

          FIRST NETWORK DRIVE   = F
          NETWORK PROTOCOL      = BIND
          SHOW DOTS             = ON
          SET STATION TIME      = ON
          PREFERRED SERVER      = EMK1
          FILE HANDLES          = 40
          LOCAL PRINTERS        = 1
          VLM                   = AUTO.VLM

Now fire up startnet.bat and things should run ....

Hope that helps

cool! I'll update the NOVELL HOWTO with your information -- that might save others some time.

Just one comment, answering your question about a boot directory:

Well this should not be necessary. You can just create a directory, say <DOSEMU_LIBDIR>/drdos, copy all your DRDOS files to it and set. $_hdimage = "<DOSEMU_LIBDIR>/drdos".
Or copy drdos' ibmbio.com/ibmdos.com/command.com to the directory that contains kernel.sys. That automatically overrides it.

What is the problem with FreeDOS in this case by the way?
