[Freedos-user] Help: UIDE cannot load
Hi, I download UIDE driver and try to make it work but when system boots it will hang when UIDE driver loads.

Re: [Freedos-user] ntool help
From: Willi Wasser wiw...@web.de To: freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Wed, March 16, 2011 4:12:27 PM Subject: Re: [Freedos-user] ntool help hello, I want to use ntool to redirect output of dhcp to wattcp.cfg. I am confused by the -g command line option. what does str mean? does anyone know what I would enter, using ntool to redirect output of dhcp to wattcp.cfh? The short answer is: NTOOL -gWATTCP.CFG Use one (or more) space characters enclosed in a pair of quotatation marks for str. This would give you something like: MY_IP=192.168.1.1 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY=192.168.1.254 NAMESERVER=192.76.23.54 i just tried to run ntool and i got back an ip address of: MY_IP=0.0.0.0 i am trying to run lynx, and when i try to start lynx i get an error saying all attempts at getting an ip address have failed. the ntool command i used was ntool -gC:\FDOS\LYNX\WATTCP.CFG i have typed out the wattcp.cfg file after running ntool and it says my ip as alll zeroes. another question, when using ntool to get info for wattcp.cfg i first am running ntool with the -g command line option, then i use the set command to set wattcp.cfg to where i had ntool redirect the info to, and then i try to start lynx. i am just wondering, in regards to my info should that work, i was thinking like you suggested of somehow writing some batch files if i could get lynx up and running. but i havent been able to start it yet. btw i used mTCP to get my network info. and that seems to be working. thanks for the help. which is exactly what you need as a (minimal) WATTCP.CFG file. If you need a more sohisticated WATTCP.CFG set-up, you could write a second file (say WATTCP0.CFG), that holds all those entries not provided by NTOOL. e.g. like this: TXBUFSIZE=8196 RXBUFSIZE=8196 PRINTER1NAME=LPT1 you would then add some lines like the following ones to your start-up batch file: NTOOL -g WATTCP.CFG TYPE WATTCP0.CFG WATTCP.CFG please observe the double chevrons in the second line, they cause the content of the second file to be appended to the first one. Otherwise you would just clobber it. Now, what is the purpose of str at all? The long answer is: It gives you more flexibility. If it is anything but a string that consists only of blanks, then str will be prepended to each line of NTOOL's output. If you try e.g. NTOOL -g SET (mind the space between the T and the closing quotation mark) then you would get something like this: SET MY_IP=192.168.1.1 SET NETMASK=255.255.255.0 SET GATEWAY=192.168.1.254 SET NAMESERVER=192.76.23.54 re-directing this into a batch file and then calling that (secondary) batchfile from the primary one like this: NTOOL -g SETSETPARM.BAT @CALL SETPARM.BAT will cause environment variables to be set with the respective values. These variables can then be further processed (used) in many ways. Or you try NTOOL -g ECHO IPCONFIG.BAT which would mimic the IPCONFIG commmand known from other TCP/IP implementations. The reason for the somewhat confusing character of str is that the routine within NTOOL that parses the command line only supports command line switches (like -g) that have either allways an argument or never. Optional arguments are not supported. Therefore the dummy string is required, even if you actually don't want to prepend anything. But i think, this is just an inconvenience, not a real problem. BTW, do you know the meaning of the acronym RTFM? :-) no. maybe rich text something? i dont know? ___ Schon gehört?

Re: [Freedos-user] ntool help
i just tried to run ntool and i got back an ip address of: MY_IP=0.0.0.0 NTOOL is a WATTCP application itself, one that is linked to a relatively recent version of the WATTCP library that does support dhcp properly. That means, it will try to get its ip parameters from dhcp if the WATTCP.CFG file it finds at program start tells it to do so by specifying MY_IP=DHCP or if it doesn't find a WATTCP.CFG file at all. In this case it will write something like Configuring through BOOTP/DHCP to the screen. If on the other hand it finds a WATTCP.CFG file that defines a static ip address, then it will simply accept this setting, assuming that you know what you are doing. Nevertheless NTOOL -g will output the actual ip parameters that are in effect in this moment. So if NTOOL just tells you MY_IP=0.0.0.0 without any message about using dhcp, then you probably have a WATTCP.CFG file somwhere which defined that address. Probably you just copied that file from somewhere and failed to adjust it to your personal needs. Try to find that file and make it invisible to the program, by re-naming it or by deleting it completely. If that helps, you could even try whether you need NTOOL (or any other external dhcp client) at all. Perhaps lynx just has the very same problem? If the lynx version you use, is also linked to a more recent version of WATTCP, then it could do this all by itself. It not, you could still use NTOOL. ___ Empfehlen Sie WEB.DE DSL Ihren Freunden und Bekannten und wir belohnen Sie mit bis zu 100,- Euro! https://freundschaftswerbung.web.de -- Colocation vs. Managed Hosting A question and answer guide to determining the best fit for your organization - today and in the future. http://p.sf.net/sfu/internap-sfd2d ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
