I follow your instruction but end up with all the decnet services stopped.
the NCSA telnet and WinQvtNet did work with the packet driver.
I am using an intel EtherExpress card, with pathwork ver 4.0.

my protocol.ini is shown below:


; PROTOCOL.INI file create by DECNET.OMO V4.0.17
;                         via DECNET.WIK V4.0.26

[protocol manager]
DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$


[IPX4MAC]
DRIVER = IPX$MAC
BINDINGS     = EXP16.DOS

[PKTDRV]
 DRIVERNAME = PKTDRV$
 BINDINGS = EXP16.DOS
 INTVEC = 0x7E
 CHAINVEC = 0x7E

[DATALINK] 
DRIVERNAME   = DLL$MAC
LG_BUFFERS   = 16
SM_BUFFERS   = 6
OUTSTANDING  = 32
HEURISTICS   = 0
BINDINGS     = EXP16.DOS
;Specify IRQ level used by workstations network adapter
;NI_IRQ       = 5

[EXP16.DOS]

; Intel EtherExpress(tm) 16 Ethernet Adapter.

    IOADDRESS = 0x300
    DRIVERNAME = EXP16$

And my config.sys is as follow:
    
device=C:\windows\himem.sys
device=c:\dos\setver.exe
device=c:\windows\emm386.exe /noems
FILES=30
BUFFERS=30
device=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS
dos=high,umb
STACKS=9,256
device=\decnet\laddrv.sys /D:4
shell=\command.com /P /e:526
device=\decnet\PROTMAN.SYS /I:C:\DECNET
device=\decnet\EXP16.DOS
device=\decnet\dis_pkt9.dos
lastdrive=u
REM COUNTRY=044,,C:\DOS\COUNTRY.SYS
device=c:\windows\mouse.sys /y
device=C:\windows\smartdrv.exe /double_buffer

could you tell me what could be wrong with the above setting?
