Write your reply.

assistant: Hello All,
I am having a problem getting Windows NT Server v3.51 to route IP packets
across a LAN to a windows 95 workstation.  The Windows NT Server is connected
to the InterNet using the Remote Access Server.  What I want to do is allow
the Windows 95 workstation to use the InterNet connection on the NT machine.
I have everything setup correctly that I can see.  I can connect the NT
machine to the net and get everything working ok, but the 95 machine just
doesn't see the connection on the server.  I have each machine setup with
dedicated IP addresses and all that is configured properly to the best of my
knowledge.  If anyone has any experience with this, any help or suggestions
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
 Bill

For one thing, you have to do it with the "boot from drive A:" model.  You
don't actually need a drive A:, since you can make an image disk with the
VMDISK utility.  However, you then need the FSFILTER.SYS driver to be able to
see OS/2 disk volumes, and you may need the FSACCESS utility to remap the
drive letters correctly.  If you want XMS or EMS access in that VDM, you have
to load the OS/2 MDOS replacements for HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE.  The big
limitation, however, is that only the one window will be able to see the
network, and neither OS/2 nor Windows programs can be run in it.

assistant: David Smith wrote in a message to Mike Bilow:
Substantial is on the order of 50%.
Sure.  Most real networking systems run above NDIS, ODI, or Packet Drivers.
The major ARCnet vendors, such as SMC, all provided OS/2 1.x NDIS drivers for
LAN Manager, and most of these will work with OS/2 2.x.  SMC actually
supports their ARCnet hardware under modern OS/2 for use with LAN Server or
Warp Connect; I have used the drivers myself.
Linux also has ARCnet support for many popular vendors.  You will almost
certainly need to recompile your kernel to get it, of course.
If you can get ARCnet drivers for OS/2 and Linux, then you would have your
networking physical plant already.  It would depend mostly upon the brand of
your cards, with SMC being the most helpful prospect.
