This is the file "INSTALL", a step-by-step guide on how to install
|
|
the mars_nwe-package.
|
|
|
|
(1) Get a 'good' ipx-kernel-version and compile
|
|
it with IPX-support, but no full internal net. You can do
|
|
this by answering the following questions when running
|
|
"make config":
|
|
|
|
The IPX protocol (CONFIG_IPX) [N/m/y/?] y
|
|
Full internal IPX network (CONFIG_IPX_INTERN) [N/y/?] n
|
|
|
|
For general questions about how to compile a kernel,
|
|
please see the Linux Kernel-HOWTO.
|
|
Best kernels for mars_nwe are 2.0.x.
|
|
Older kernels will sometimes not work because of
|
|
bugs in the ipx-code. See examples directory for
|
|
some patches.
|
|
|
|
(2) Decide, if mars_nwe should initialize your IPX-subsystem,
|
|
make routing and handle sap/rip or if you want to do this
|
|
with 3rd party products by hand.
|
|
Before mailing problems with mars_nwe please try the first.
|
|
|
|
(2a) Configuration of the IPX-subsystem by "mars_nwe"
|
|
|
|
You do not need any other ipx-tool or routers/daemons
|
|
in this case.
|
|
It was tested that "mars_nwe", "dosemu", "ncpfs" or
|
|
Caldera's "nwclient" do coexist friendly in this case.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set INTERNAL_RIP_SAP to "1" in `mars_nwe/config.h':
|
|
|
|
#define INTERNAL_RIP_SAP 1
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have other IPX/NCP servers on your local net you
|
|
can let "mars_nwe" choose TRV ("the right values"(tm))
|
|
for you.
|
|
You request this with the following entries in `nwserv.conf':
|
|
|
|
3 0x0 # use your IP number for internal net.
|
|
4 0x0 * AUTO # autodetect interfaces.
|
|
5 0x2 # set kernel autocreat interfaces = on.
|
|
|
|
Make sure that no other server is using your internal net number
|
|
as it's networknumber.
|
|
|
|
If there is no other IPX/NCP Server on your net then the network-
|
|
number from section '4' can be any number.
|
|
|
|
4 0x10 eth0 ethernet_ii # eth0 device with network number '0x10'
|
|
# and frame ETHERNET_II.
|
|
4 0x20 eth0 802.3 # eth0 device with network number '0x20'
|
|
# und frame ETHERNET_802.3.
|
|
|
|
|
|
(2b) Manual configuration of the IPX-subsystem
|
|
|
|
In this mode you must use tools like ipx-configure and
|
|
ipxd to configure ipx-interfaces, routes and handle rip/sap.
|
|
|
|
Set INTERNAL_RIP_SAP to "0" in `mars_nwe/config.h':
|
|
|
|
#define INTERNAL_RIP_SAP 0
|
|
|
|
|
|
(3) Compile the programs from the mars_nwe-package
|
|
|
|
Unpack the source of "mars_nwe" and change to the directory
|
|
`mars_nwe' (you already did that, otherwise you won't read this).
|
|
Enter the command:
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
This will create the file `config.h' and 'mk.li'.
|
|
Edit them to suit your needs. 'mk.li" only needs to be altered under
|
|
very rare conditions or if you have problems with compiling/linking
|
|
this package.
|
|
|
|
Now run "make" again:
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
|
(4) Edit the configuration-file `nw.ini'.
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have all required sections included in your old
|
|
configuration-file, if you upgrade to a new version of "mars_nwe".
|
|
|
|
|
|
(5) Install everything
|
|
|
|
Just say
|
|
|
|
make install
|
|
and perhaps
|
|
make install_ini
|
|
|
|
The later is only if you want to _overwrite_ the already installed
|
|
versions of the configuration-file "nwserv.conf" by the "nw.ini" file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
(6) Create the directories visible to DOS-clients
|
|
|
|
At least the volume "SYS" must be defined in the configuration-file
|
|
"nwserv.conf". Create the associated directory if it does not
|
|
already exists and place the programs "login.exe" and "slist.exe"
|
|
into the "LOGIN" or "login" directory.
|
|
You also can use the free mars_dosutils with a poor version of
|
|
these programms.
|
|
NEW !
|
|
In newer versions of mars_nwe these directories will be created
|
|
after the first start of mars_nwe.
|
|
|
|
(7) Fire it up
|
|
|
|
As root, execute the command
|
|
|
|
nwserv
|
|
|
|
|
|
(8) Stop programs (server down)
|
|
|
|
If nwserv isn't daemonized, then the server can be stopped
|
|
with ^C, otherwise the server must be shut down with a
|
|
kill of nwserv or with starting 'nwserv -k' or with the
|
|
right dos client programm (fconsole server down) as supervisor.
|
|
Entry 210 in the nw.ini file gives the time in seconds, before
|
|
the server really shuts down.
|
|
|
|
|
|
good luck :-)
