Hi
Looking for an example of PROTOCOL.INI supporting two network adapters
on WFW/MSNetworking. I would like to use the first adapter for TCP/IP
and the 2nd one for another proprietary protocol.
TIA.

I don't know if it helps or not, but here's C:\WINDOWS\PROTOCOL.INI from
a quick test VM.

I created the VM in VirtualBox with two AMD PCnet NICs. I'm not
completely sure about the driver and / or the I/O address configuration
for the vNICs. I bound Microsoft's 32-bit TCP/IP for Windows 3.x to the
first vNIC and NetBEUI to the second vNIC.

I have no idea how a proprietary protocol will change things. I suspect
that you would just trade the NetBEUI parts for your proprietary
protocol parts.

You're welcome.

Please follow up and let us know what did(n't) work and what you
ultimately used.

Good luck. #hazfun

That helps, will try it and post results. The other protocol is DECnet
via PathWorks; I keep my IP and DECnet networks separate.

That makes sense.

I've not messed with PathWorks yet.

I assume that you're going to need to change the MAC address for
PathWorks. I have no idea how to do that in WFW3.11.

Actually I didn't have to do anything to insert the computed MAC
address; PathWorks somehow works with an arbitrary MAC and is rock-solid
and on HECnet (http://mim.update.uu.se/hecnet?node=wfw311). It is the IP
NIC I am having trouble with, interestingly.

Will play around this weekend using your PROTOCOL.INI.

If you want a copy of the VM I can upload it somewhere too.

Thanks,

That surprises me. I thought that DECnet (Phase IV) had to use modified
MAC addresses. I guess if they were set appropriately at the VM level,
they wouldn't be a problem.

I think I'm more interested in the PathWorks installation files than a
full VM.

That being said, if said install files are in the VM, I am perfectly
happy to extract them.
