Feel  free to use this cheat sheet at your own risk. But please  leave 
the  above credits and revison number intact. The procedure  has  many 
steps  and  is fairly involved. If you find any mistakes or  have  any 
helpful suggestions E-mail them to ejozis@micronica.com.au and it will 
be updated.

*  Create NET.CFG for your LAN card. Defines your IP  Address  details 
except for DNS address. For example:

Link Support
   Buffers      8 1500
   MemPool      4096
   Max Stacks   8

Link Driver smc8000
   Int          10
   Port         300
   Frame        ETHERNET_II
   Protocol     IPX 8137 ETHERNET_II

Protocol TCPIP
   IP_Address   203.21.5.88
   IP_Router    203.21.5.66
   IP_Netmask   255.255.255.224
   Tcp_Sockets  8
   Udp_Sockets  8
   Raw_Sockets  1
   NB_Sessions  0
   NB_Commands  0
   NB_Adapter   0
   NB_Domain

* Load up the necessary driver for SMC Ultra Ethernet card
- LSL
- SMC8000
- IPXODI
- NETX
- TCPIP

This will allow TCP/IP access under DOS. But without DNS facility. You 
won't be able to "ping" by name under DOS. Only by IP Address.


* To allow DNS under DOS, make sure you set up the following:
- Create a "c:\lan\tcp" directory.
-  Put  "resolv.cfg" in the c:\lan\tcp directory.  It  identifies  the 
location of the name server for DNS. For example:

domain micronica.com.au
nameserver 203.21.5.66

-  Can also put a "hosts" file in c:\lan\tcp if you like for your  own 
name to IP address tables if DNS might be inaccessable. For example:

# "\lan\tcp\hosts" file.      Version 10:30am 06/12/1995 
# This file should contain LOCAL names rather than those resolved 
# through RESOLV.CFG.
#
#       Micronica
203.21.5.66  micronica.com.au

-  Insert  the following in AUTOEXEC.BAT to activate  DNS  under  DOS. 
Looks for c:\lan\tcp\resolv.cfg and c:\lan\tcp\hosts
set excelan=c:\lan

* Copy "WINSOCK.DLL" and "WLIBSOCK.DLL" to "c:\windows" directory. You 
should  now be able to ping and access web sites under Windows  by  IP 
Address.

*  You still don't have DNS under Windows yet ! To allow DNS  to  work 
under Windows 3.1:
-  Copy "VTCPIP.386" to the directory where the "TCPIP" is loaded  for 
the LAN card. Windows looks for it there, automatically.
- Create "LWP.INI" in "WINDOWS" directory. It must contain:
  [LANWorkPlace]
  Root=c:\lan
- Can also add the following if you like: (have not yet tried it !)
; Windows applications profile information
[ServingFTP]
;Home Directory
ServerHome=c:\applications
;1=Log to screen, 0 = Don't log to screen
ScreenLogging=1
;Log to this file
LogFile=
;The directory in which to open log file
LogDirectory=
;If logging to file, 1=Append to file, 0 = Overwrite file
AppendFile=1
