Q99192: Lanabase Changes when DOS Client not In Default Directory

SUMMARY
=======

When you install a LAN Manager 2.2 Windows client for NetBEUI and TCP/IP, the
TCP/IP LANA base changes to 0 instead of 1 if you don't install an MS-DOS client
in the default directory (LANMAN.DOS). To keep this from happening, you must
either install the MS-DOS client in the default directory or manually change the
PROTOCOL.INI file.

Note: LANA = local area network adapter.


Here is a sample PROTOCOL.INI:

[PROTMAN]
 DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$
 DYNAMIC = YES
 PRIORITY = NETBEUI

[TCPIP_XIF]

 DRIVERNAME      = TCPIP$
 IPADDRESS0 = 130 20 7 68
 SUBNETMASK0 = 255 255 0 0
 DEFAULTGATEWAY0 =
 NBSESSIONS = 6
   ; the following two parameters added after documentation was completed
 TCPSEGMENTSIZE  = 1450
 TCPWINDOWSIZE   = 1450
 LOAD            = tcptsr[c],tinyrfc[c],emsbfr[cr]
 UNLOAD     = "unloadt /notsr[dc]"
 BINDINGS = "UBNEITP_NIF"
 LANABASE = 0

[NETBEUI_XIF]
 Drivername = netbeui$
 SESSIONS = 6
 NCBS = 12
 BINDINGS = "UBNEITP_NIF"
 LANABASE = 1

[UBNEITP_NIF]
   DriverName = UBNEI$
   AdapterType = NIUpc/EOTP
   MemoryWindow = 0xD8000
   IO_Port = 0x368
   IRQ_Level = 5
   SlotNumber = 4
   MaxRequests = 6
   MaxTransmits = 6
   ReceiveBufSize = 600
   MaxMulticast = 16
   ReceiveMethod = ReceiveLookahead
   ReceiveBuffers = 64
