SUMMARY
While it is true that MS-DOS LAN Manager versions 2.0 and 2.1 do not expose the DLC interface, these versions will run on top of IBM's NetBIOS stack. This article explains how to configure them.



MORE INFORMATION
The IBM PC LAN program installs this in your CONFIG.SYS file:   DEVICE=C:\PCLP\DXMA0MOD.SYS DEVICE=C:\PCLP\DXMC1MOD.SYS DEVICE=C:\PCLP\DXMT0MOD.SYS O=N ST=10 S=25 C=22 ES=2 EST=2 IFS=C:\PCLP13BS\REDIR.SYS INSTALL=C:\PCLP13BS\IFSFUNC.EXE Use these steps to get MS-DOS LAN Manager version 2.0 or 2.1 to use the DLC layer:

 Install MS-DOS LAN Manager as usual. During the install process, select the protocol stack you want to use. After exiting Ms-DOS LAN Manager, remove any instances of device drivers from CONFIG.SYS for MS-DOS LAN Manager.  Remove both the &quot;IFS=&quot; line and the &quot;INSTALL=&quot; lines from your CONFIG.SYS file. It is not necessary to load the IBM LAN requester.

At this point, your CONFIG.SYS file should look like this:      DEVICE=C:\PCLP\DXMA0MOD.SYS DEVICE=C:\PCLP\DXMC1MOD.SYS DEVICE=C:\PCLP\DXMT0MOD.SYS O=N ST=10 S=25 C=22 ES=2 EST=2  Remove NETBIND from your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, because there is nothing to bind now.

Because the Protocol Manager is not loaded, NETBIND is not needed and the contents of PROTOCOL.INI are irrelevant.</ol>

Microsoft has confirmed that this configuration works correctly.
