. DOS direct access to NT

. Directly accessing the NT hotspot network from DOS

As an NT network user, you may have encountered this situation: the network hardware has been connected, the Server has been installed with Windows NT Server, and all necessary configurations have been made, however, Windows 95 cannot be installed because the computer to be connected to the network does not have an optical drive, and Windows 95 cannot be used to access the network. What should you do now? Can I directly access the network from DOS? The answer is yes. Back to the server, you will find that Windows NT provides a solution for the DOS environment networking. Once practiced, OK! The entire process can be divided into the following three steps:
1. Create a network installation disk
1. Start the NT Server of the Server, click Start, and select programs. In the Administrative Tools column, click Network Customer Manager.
2. In the pop-up "Network Customer Manager" dialog box, select option 2: Create and install a disk group (I ). Click "continue.
3. In the "shared network client Installation File" dialog box, select the first option: use the existing path (E ). Click the button on the right of the path editing box to bring up the "Network Customer distribution directory" dialog box. Select "msclient" from the drop-down list and click "OK" to return to the "shared network client Installation File" dialog box. In the "path" edit box, you can see "\ Server Name \ Clients \" and click "OK ". You can also directly enter the path of the customer's software in the path editing box.
4. In the create installation disk group dialog box, select Network Client V30 for MS-DOS and Windows ". Click OK ".
5. Insert a floppy disk and click "OK". Then, the computer starts to create a network installation disk. A total of two 35 inch M floppy disks are required. However, during installation, you only need to install the first disk.
2. install network customer software
1. Start the DOS Operating System of the workstation.
2. Insert the first installation disk in the workstation drive, and enter the command line: A: \ Setupexe.
3. The "Setup for Microsoft Network Client for MS-DOS" Installer prompt is displayed, and press Enter. Then, enter a directory for the installer to copy the network customer software, for example, C: \ Net.
4. the installer starts to check the system file and selects the correct option from a series of network adapters listed later. Press enter and enter the user name. For example, WangPing. A maximum of 20 characters can be entered.
5. The following four options are listed on the screen:
(1) Names;
(2) Setup Option;
(3) Network Configuration;
(4) The list options are correct.
After selecting one of the first three items, press enter to view the details of the item and modify the settings. For example, to change the network configuration, select the third item and press enter, and select Remove to delete the network adapter, then select "Add Adapter" to Add a new Adapter (select the appropriate Adapter in the list that appears later ). Select "Add Protocol" to Add the network Protocol. Select "Network configuration is correct" to return.
6. If you have no objection to The above three settings, select The "The list options are correct" item and press enter to start installation.
The installer will modify the system settings. Note that the configsys file should contain the following statements:
S = 20
Device = C: \ NET \ ifshlpsys
Last Drive = Z
Add the following statements to the autoexecbat file:
C: \ Net initialize
C: \ Net \ Nwlink
C: \ Net Start
Of course, you can also execute these commands after the computer is started.
After the installation is complete, restart the computer. If the network initialization is successful, you can connect to the server.
3. Connect to the NT Server
1. C:> Net. The Connection dialog window is displayed in the upper-left corner of the screen.
2. press Alt + P and enter the shared directory of other computers on the network you will access. If you want to access the server's optical drive, enter \ My_Server \ Cdrom ". (Assume that the drive of the "My_Server" server has been set to "shared" and its share name is "Cdrom ".)
3. press Alt + V to assign a drive letter to the path you want to access, for example, "F". Be sure not to overlap the used drive letter.
4. press Alt + C to start the Connection. If the Connection Is successful, the new item "F: Is \ My_Server \ Cdrom" Is displayed in the Current Connection list ". Hotspot Network
5. press Alt + X to exit.
6. C:> F:, then F: becomes the current drive letter.
7. F:> dir. If you have already placed a CD in the server's optical drive, you can view the Cd content.
Now you can copy and install files through the optical drive on the server. Of course, you must first install the Windows 95 operating system. Then complete the network configuration in Windows 95.
