The steps to install the program are as follows:
1. Start the installation process by following the procedure described in the
PC-NFS Manual for installing the Sun Microsystems PC-NFS program in your
PC's hard disk. When asked to identify the type of network interface card
you are using, select "WD8003" from the list. Likewise, when asked for the
interrupt level and the base I/O address select:
Interrupt Level (IRQ) 3
I/O Base Address 300h
2. Copy the following files to the \NFS directory of your hard disk:
PCNFSIF.SYS
NWPD.COM
3. Modify the CONFIG.SYS file to include the following:
DEVICE=C:\ANSI.SYS
DEVICE=C:\NFS\PCNFS.SYS
DEVICE=C:\NFS\SOCKDRV.SYS
DEVICE=C:\NFS\PCNFSIF.SYS
LASTDRIVE=V
4. Create or modify an existing AUTOEXEC.BAT file to include the following:
C:\NFS\NWPD 98
SET PATH = C:\; C:\NFS
SET TZ=CST6
SET NFSDRIVE=C
PRT *
NFSRUN
For your system to work properly, make sure that the C:\NFS\NWPD 98
command line is placed before the NFSRUN command line. For more information
on the NWPD.COM program, refer to the READ.ME file of the Packet
Driver for NE1000 & NE2000 serials adapters.
Allowable values for the software interrupt vector range from 96 to 128. The
default software interrupt vector value is 98.
5. Reboot the PC and start the PC-NFS program. You may now run PC-NFS commands
on your PC to allow communication with other computers on the network that
use the TCP/IP protocol.
