     I don't see this in the NW3.11 package. A search thru my files listings
     does not show it either. In other words, where do I find it?
     I could go to someone else's house to use the InterNet.

I am trying to set up the IPX/IP gateway. When I load inetcfg and go to the
protocols section then TCP/IP I don't have and IPX/IP configuration option.
Can some body tell me how to get it there?
I am trying to connect the gateway to an ISDN router. Do I have to configure
a board for this? It is not a board but a router on the network. How do I
set up a default route to go out the router
Any other help on configureing the gateway would be nice.

RAM, although there are a myriad of other causes. If this is a brand
new install, with no third-party NLMs, and you've attempted it at least

     No.  Ping just requests nearest server or a specific server.
     "PING allows a Netware user to determine if a given 'server' is

     It operates at a higher level than the IP, right?

assistant: Hello Alan,
     I trust the server is ok. The problem is not cabling or frame type.
     Yeah :-) I'm beginning to think the SCSI or the NIC has a ROM
     that is loading these things.
     I have looked in AutoRep.nlm with List.com. It is a "3rd party" util.
     No .lan or .nlm that involves the hardware is mentioned within.
     Here's more...
(quote on)
  Usage:   LOAD AUTOREP <volume> <volume> <volume> <volume>
  Where volume is the name of a Netware volume that should be
  Vrepaired if the volume fails to mount. The process is repeated
  until either the volume is mounted or until 20 retries on the volume
  repair is attempted, then the next volume is tried and so on.

assistant: Hello Thomas,
     Heck if I know :-)  It really is a mystery!
     I asked 2 guys w/Internet access to get it. One got 501.zip
     which had 3C501.EXE. This is a diagnostics util that I would like
     to have more data on. I have figured out that:
     E  is echo
     Ix is irq
     Dx is DMA
     Bxxx is address
     3c501 1  tells me the hard controller is ok
     3c501 d1 tells me the hard controller is not ok. DMA timeout
     This also happens on the working workstation, so I don't know
     how to use the util.
     The other guy got the new501.exe. The executable (3x501.com, 12907
ytes)
     is bad. It returns "divide overflow". The readme file says it is not
     approved by 3com. It appears to be a fix for _slow_ computers, anyway.

     OK. 6 has been useful! At the pentium, 3C501.EXE 6 will give me screens
     of numbers if the network is active! So the NIC can receive something.
     If I send from the pentium 3C501.EXE 3
     the 386 workstation (3C501.EXE 6) displays numbers!
     I believe these consecutive numbers represent packits received.
     So, the pentium NIC can rec/send something.

assistant: Hello all, and much thanx to:
Frank Ramsey, Thomas Unzeitig, Alan Frayer, Harry Oldenhuis, Dave Shiner,
Mike Trip, Rich Wonneberger.
I put a FD0490 NIC in the pentium and with no hesitation the server was
ound.
I used irq3, b300, no DMA, old ipx and lsl (v1.00), ne2000.com, netx.exe
I'm trying newer ipxodi and a much "bigger" lsl (v2.2) and will keep playing
with different drivers for awhile. I wonder if there is a packet util that
helps to determine if some setups are faster or more reliable than others.
I guess there would be. More important would be if I could find a set that
could load in xms or ems.
So far, the NIC does not care that com2 (irq3) is enabled, (but dormant).
I have a feeling that there was some DMA problem before, but have no idea
how to troubleshoot that except by changing the card setting and/or pulling
other cards. This card allows you to not even pretend there is a DMA setting.
The 3C501 is a little weird about DMA.
If anyone wants more details about this thread let me know here or netmail.
I will be lurking for awhile :-)
Regards, and Thanx, Barry

     Put it in config.sys and everything that uses a bios or dos write gets

     Somebody must have written this by now :-)
