TCP/IP for Windows for Workgroups Must Load Under MS-DOS (99294)
This article was previously published under Q99294
SUMMARY
This article discusses available Microsoft TCP/IP support for Microsoft
Windows for Workgroups if you use a Novell network with both IPX and
TCP/IP ODI drivers, and LAN Workplace for MS-DOS to talk to a TCP/IP host.
MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft TCP/IP is a real-mode protocol so you must load it under MS-DOS.
LAN Manager 2.2 ships with WSOCKETS.DLL and WIN_SOCK.DLL, which provide
similar APIs for applications that use sockets under Windows.
LAN Manager 2.2 ships with an installer diskette for putting the LAN
Manager TCP/IP stack under Windows for Workgroups.
Another option is a Novell driver called ODINSUP (ODI under and
NDIS up) which allows transports written to NDIS (NDIS UP) to talk
with ODI drivers (ODI under). You use the Multiple Link Interface
Driver (MLID) from Novell , the Link Support Layer (LSL), and the
ODINSUP shim, which translates NDIS to ODI. (NOTE: the MLID + LSL
is roughly equivalent to Microsoft's NDIS drivers.)
