SUMMARY
In order to run non-Microsoft 16-bit Windows Sockets (WinSock) applications on RemoteBoot MS-DOS workstations, you must enable WinSock support. This article lists a method of enabling WinSock support for RemoteBoot operation using the 16-bit real mode TCP/IP stack.



MORE INFORMATION
For WinSock support in RemoteBoot operation, do the following:

 Ensure that the following lines are present in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file located in the %SystemRoot%\RPL\RPLFILES\ directory:

UMB.COM

LOAD TCPIP

NMTSR.EXE

SOCKETS.EXE

 Ensure the following is included in the PATH statement:

C:\LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\PROTOCOL\TCPIP

 Ensure that following lines are present in the DOSBB.CNF file located in the %SystemRoot%\RPL\BBLOCK\NETBEUI\ directory:

EXE BBLOCK\RPLBIND1.EXE ... TCPDRV.DOS

NOTE: If any changes are made to the network card configuration details, make the appropriate changes to the PROTOCOL.INI file in the %SystemRoot%\RPL\BBLOCK\NETBEUI\ directory.

 Add the following line to the [tcpglobal] section of the TCPUTILS.INI file located in the %SystemRoot%\RPL\RPLFILES\MACHINES\ \ \WKSTA directory:

[tcpglobal]

hostname =

 Add the following section to the TCPUTILS.INI file located at the %SystemRoot%\RPL\RPLFILES\MACHINES\ \ \WKSTA directory:

[DNR]

drivername=DNR$

bindings=TCPIP_XIF

domain=

nameserver0=

NOTE: Changes made to the TCPUTILS.INI file affects only the individual user profile. If the nameserver begins with a numeric digit, add quotes to the entry. Add the following line to the [machinewritable files] section of the DOS622.FIT file located in the %SYSTEMROOT%\RPL\RPLFILES\RPLFIT directory:

C:\LANMAN.DOS\TCPUTILS.INI\ MACHINES\(cname)\(profile) \WKSTA\TCPUTILS.INI

NOTE: This line indicates that the TCPUTILS.INI file to be used is located at the individual user's profile directory instead of the global file.</li></ol>
