Method for DOS Lenten Network
With the popularity of computers and networks, networked operations between computers (such as file transfer, chat, etc.), and Internet networks are more important. Since DOS has so many users, how can I use it to achieve networked? DR-DOS 7.XX and ROM-DOS 7.XX features from networking (including LAN and TCP / IP protocols, etc.), but we have all MS-DOS, which all use. However, there is no way, but there are only some additional software. Compared with NetWare Lite 1.x and Microsoft Network Client 3.0 (can be downloaded in the "Network Tool" of this site), the following is taken as an example of Microsoft Network Client 3.0 as an example, and the implementation method of the local area network. For the connection method of the Internet under DOS, please see below.
First install Microsoft Network Client 3.0 (subsequently referred to as MSClient) in a computer that requires a network, enter your respective working groups, computer names, and IP addresses, and usernames and passwords, and select the model of the installed NIC in the list. If you don't have your network card in the list, you need a driver that comes with a network card, usually in a floppy disk, or may be in the disc. When it is prompted to enter an OEM disk, you insert the network card driver disk and enter the appropriate path. Since the network card drivers required by each network system are different, for MSClient, the NDIS2 or MSClient folder in the drive is generally selected, such as A: / MSClient. As long as the correct words, it will be installed automatically. As for the network protocol, it is generally enough to have NetBeui and TCP / IP protocols, and too much to slow down the speed of the network. After the installation is complete, MSClient will automatically put the network boot command into AutoExec.bat, and then find the network automatically start after restarting the computer. When the system prompts to enter the username and password, you can set it just now. At this time, the network will start running. For example, if you want to see all the computers under the current working group, enter the net view command.
However, at this time, everyone is still a client, there is no server, and the server must be installed to share the file. Use the netshare command to set the shared path after installation. If you set the D, you can set the password if necessary, so as to avoid illegal access. Once the server and sharing are set, the client can access the resources on the computer. For example: Net Use E: // pc / c command redirects a drive (or folder) on a computer named PC to the E disk, at which time the content on the remote computer can be used locally. The computer is accessed. However, it is important to open the settings of the MSClient's files and printers, the method is to open the system.ini in the MSClient folder with the text editor such as Edit, and will "Filesharing" in the [Network] item. Printsharing's value is changed to YES, saved and exit, you can use files and printers shared features.
It is also possible if you want to use DOS and the computer using Windows. Since Windows 3.11 for Workgroups, Windows 9X, and Windows NT / 2K / XP are used in networks called "Microsoft Windows Network", and Microsoft Network Client 3.0 under DOS is compatible, so they can achieve very complete Interview, just like DOS and DOS, or the network between Windows and Windows. However, it should be noted that if you want to use the DOS computer to access a computer that uses Windows NT / 2K / XP, you must set the user account of the DOS computer in Windows NT / 2K / XP, otherwise you cannot access. There are many very useful commands in Microsoft Network Client 3.0, such as ping, if you want to know these commands and their usage, see the "DOS Article" section.
In addition to using MSClient, users can also use tools such as NetWare. Take NetWare Lite as an example. After installation, execute STARTNET.BAT, you can automatically transfer the peer (including the server). At this point, it is available to the network management of the full screen, or you can use the command line, such as the NET MAP command to redirect to the other party's computer (of course, you need to share shares). The simpler method is to use the ipxcopy.exe command (you can download) file transfer directly after loading the IPX protocol (IPXODI.com), without starting the server. The method is to activate the receiver with the ipxcopy command in a computer, and use the "IPXCopy file name command on another computer, where the document name can be a wildcard, or the / s option can be used to specify the subfolder. file. Of course, there are other methods, this is no longer introduced.
The above discussion is the connection method of the LAN, talk about the method of Internet. Usually there are two ways in the Internet, one is dial-up, that is, by modem, the other is through the NIC. For ISDN, ADSL, etc., similar to the usual network card. Therefore, the online method is also divided into two categories. First, use the NIC Internet, usually with a driver called Packet Driver in the network card driver, typically in the PKTDRV folder of the drive disk, it is the most critical network interface driver connected to the Internet under DOS, most DOS The Internet programs need to have it to realize the functionality of the Internet (if you do not find the packet driver in the NIC driver disk, you can find it on http://www.crynwr.com/. For example, if your network card is NE2000, you can drive the NE2000.com in the PKTDRV folder of the drive disk, just enter NE2000 on the command line. However, some NIC's Packet driver needs to enter the installed IO address, typically 0x60 (ie, decimal 98), the NE2000 0x60 command is executed for the installation of the driver. If you do not enter the address, the general network card is installed on 0x60 or 0x62 according to the default value. If you are using a dial-up Internet, there are two ways, one is a Packet driver using a modem, and the other is the use of its own dialer using the browser. For the former, you can use a program called LSPPP (can be downloaded in the "Driver" of this site), its function is very powerful, and the command line parameters are also more, and you can use the lsppp / "command to view. The parameters typically need to specify are: the port number of the modem, the phone number, user name, and password to be dial, such as assume that the modem is on COM4, the number to be dial is 163, then enter LSPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP / N : 4 / D: 163 / u: User / P: PWD to implement the Internet (must pay attention to space between case and each parameter). Once the Packet driver or LSPPP of the NIC is running, the DOS system has actually been connected to the Internet. At this time, the Internet software under various DOS can directly access the network (Of course, to really complete the Internet function, The TCP / IP protocol that needs to be brought by the network program). If you want to disconnect the Internet connection after loading a NIC or a modem, you can use a method of installing a Packet driver, such as executing the Ne2000 -U command, or using a universal Packet driver terminator TERMIN. You can download in the Network Tools of this site), such as if the installation address of the Packet driver is 0x60, you can use termin 0x60. If you want to use the dialer with your browser instead of the Packet driver of the modem, you can look at the use of Arachne below.
Everyone knows that you need a web browser when you want to browse your web. The best graphical browser under DOS is Arachne, which is very powerful and can be downloaded in this site. Using it for dial-up access requires a modem that supports DOS (including hardware modulation demodulators or software modems with DOS drivers, you can also use "using modem in the Win9x DOS window). After the Internet, ARACHNE will detect each possible port of the modem, as long as one is successfully detected. Then enter the correct phone number, user name, and password, you can dial it. Of course, if the LSPP implementation modem's Packet driver has been used, you don't have to make ARACHNE dialing. At this time, the method of setting a Arachne is the same as the Packet on the Packet on the Packet Internet card. If you are online through the NIC, you need to run the Packet driver of this network card mentioned above, pay attention to the address 0x60, otherwise ARACHNE cannot be identified. Select "Use Network Card" in the settings screen in ARACHNE, and select DHCP Auto Configuration, you can view the webpage as long as the network is normal. In order to speed up the speed, you can load the disk buffer smartdrv.exe under DOS before running the ARACHNE browser. The "DOS Article" section can be seen about the specific use of the Arachne browser. Of course, there are many ways to use the Internet under DOS. After using the Packet driver using a modem or NIC, you can use WatTCP programs (such as Wget, Lynx), etc., you can achieve the reading of online data, such as in the DOS command line. The wget wgt www.yahoo.com command can download the home page of the Yahoo website, Wget, even supports breakpoints. To use an email, use BareBones E-mail and other programs to easily send and receive emails (you need to know the POP3 and SMTP server addresses of the mailbox). For FTP and Telnet, etc., you can also use the corresponding program to achieve, such as WatTCP FTP, etc., specifically can be seen in the Network Tools of this site. There are many procedures for the network under DOS, which is no longer detailed here.
