Flawless NetBIOS boot disk:
http://www.bovistech.com/detect.htm
Simply edit the autoexec.bat to reflect your workgroup/domain name and you're golden! Autodetects most NICs, randomizes the netbios name, has generic CDROM drivers, disk utilities, etc... It's a real keeper!
I've had problems using it to GHOST files UP to the filer, but GHOST sessions fly down. Someone on the list suggested creating another NetBIOS alias and modifying a buffer, but I forgot about it and never tried it...

if you are running from a dos machine you should be able to use the dos smb drivers from microsoft - the ones that came from lanmanager. if you are using any windows based machine the drivers should be there.

Zekeriya,
I would definately be interested in hearing if you get this to work. My company has a few DOS based lab workstations that I would like to connect to our Filers. The problem is that there is no utility/driver to provide the SMB protocol to DOS. You can get the IPX protocol for DOS but the Filers do not support IPX. We have not tried to build a NetWare server to act as a gateway though. In theory the DOS system could connect to the NetWare server using IPX. The NetWare server would have the NFS.nlm running to connect it to a Filer. I do something similar for our
Macintosh
users. I have a Linux box that uses NFS to connect to the Filers and then it runs the AppleShare protocol as a gateway for the Macs. I do not know if IPX restricts sharing a share like SMB and NFS do (e.g., an SMB/NFS client - server or workstation - can not then make that share available to clients of its own)

Revelation on Netapp
Sent by: owner-toasters@mat hworks.com 11/19/01 12:49 PMHi All,
I tried to run on my Netapp F820 an old DOS based 16 bit application
called
"advanced revelation" uses a flat file database. Unfortunately I am not successful. The application does not recognize the mapped network drive.
Is
there any way/trick to make it working on the filer? Has anybody tried such applications on Netapp Filers or remote drives?
Thanks in advance

From DOS, use "ghost -buffersize=8" to make ghost use an 8k buffer size.

I've not tried it with a filer, but this makes a big difference when ghosting an image to a share on my workstation.
