Configure PCTCP for CE2 Using Packet Driver

Symptom(s):

  • An "Unable to find PROTMAN.DOS" error appears at bootup
  • Error: "Unable to find PROTMAN.DOS"

Cause:
Wrong driver

Solution:
Only a Packet Driver is needed to run TCP/IP protocol with PCTCP software. Correct the problem as follows:

1) During PCTCP v3.0 setup, select the NDIS 2 / Other Packet Driver option. The PCTCP PROTOCOL.INI is formed with all default sections.

2) In the CONFIG.SYS file, remove the following PCTCP lines added during the installation:

- PROTMAN.DOS
- CXCFG.EXE
- XPSNDIS.EXE
- the line with the file extension .GUP

3) Then make sure that the following lines appear in each of the specified files:

CONFIG.SYS
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D200-D3FF

AUTOEXEC.BAT
C:\PCTCP\XPSPD.COM
SET PCTCP=C:\PCTCP\PCTCP.INI
C:\PCTCP\ETHDRV.EXE

NOTE: If the driver does not load at the default resources, remove the semi-colons from the XIRMAC section above and change the resources to free (unused) ones so the driver can load.
