[nos-bbs] Jnos & windows

[Bob Tenty]

I played around with the SwsvPkt driver but I  get: No adapters found.

I assume this virtual packet driver is scanning for ethernet cards but it doesn't find them.
Have 2 network cards in this machine

Is there no need to use the -i (HW IRQ) option?

73,

Basically, just download the Swsvpkt packet driver zipfile and unzip
it into a directory by itself.  If you try and "install it" through
the Control Panel (the way it says to do in the README.TXT file) it
may or may not actually "install".  It's not really necessary to do
that if you're only using NOS.  Basically, after you unzip the files
you really only have to:

1) Copy SWSVPKT.EXE and SWSVPKT.DLL into %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32 and
   SWSVPKT.SYS into %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS.

2) Create a shortcut to %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\CMD.EXE and

   a) On the Misc tab under Properties change the Idle Sensitivity
      setting to MAXIMUM, and,

   b) On the Program tab under Properties use this Cmd Line:
      %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\CMD.EXE /k <mynos>.BAT

   c) Select a Working Directory where it can find its own
      AUTOEXEC.NT and CONFIG.NT files.  Copy them from the
      stock "system" AUTOEXEC.NT and CONFIG.NT files in
      %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32 and edit them accordingly
      (specifically, remove what you don't need to load at
      the end of the AUTOEXEC.NT file).

3) Load the SwsvPkt driver at the end of the AUTOEXEC.NT file or
   at the beginning of the <mynos>.BAT file:

   LH %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\SWSVPKT

   which executes the SWSVPKT.EXE file in %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32.
