SUMMARY
After installing TCP/IP protocol from the Microsoft Windows for Workgroups Connectivity Diskette, you may receive the following error messages:
The errors occur because the TCP/IP addresses have not been established in the PROTOCOL.INI. The installation program does not force entry of the addresses.
The PROTOCOL.INI will look like the following:
[TCPIP] DriverName=TCPIP$ NBSessions=6 NetFiles=C:\WFW31 tcpsegmentsize=1450 tcpwindowsize=1450 BINDINGS=MS$DECGEN LANABASE=1
It needs to look like the following:
[TCPIP] DriverName=TCPIP$ NBSessions=6 NetFiles=C:\WFW31 tcpsegmentsize=1450 tcpwindowsize=1450 BINDINGS=MS$DECGEN LANABASE=1 IPAddress0= (Valid IP Address) SubNetMask0= (Valid Sub Net Mask) DefaultGateway0= (Optional)
To have Windows Control Panel make the correction to the PROTOCOL.INI do the following:
Steps to add TCP/IP Addresses
- Within Windows for Workgroups Version 3.10 select Control Panel.
- Within Control Panel select Network.
- Within Network select Adapters.
- Select Protocols.
- Highlight TCP/IP.
- Select Settings
- Within the Advanced Protocol settings :
Highlight Default Gateway enter values and select SET (Optional)
Highlight IP Address enter values and select SET
Highlight Subnet Mask enter values and select SET - Exit and Restart Windows for Workgroups
