62, from the DOS direct network NT Hot Network
As an NT network user, you may have encountered this situation: the network hardware is connected, the server has installed Windows NT Server, and made the necessary configuration, but because the computer to prepare the network does not have the optical drive, so can not install Windows 95, you can not use Windows 95 Realize network. What should you do then? Can you access the network directly from the DOS? The answer is yes. Back to the server, you will find that Windows NT provides a solution for networking in DOS environments, which, once practiced, can be divided into the following three steps: ok!
First, the production of network installation disk
1. Start the server's NT Server, click Start, select Programs, open the Administrative Tools bar, and click the Network Client Manager column.
2. In the Network Client Manager dialog box that pops up, select the second item: make the installation disk group (I). Then click the Continue button.
3. In the Share Network Client Installation File dialog box, select the first item: Use an existing path (E). Then click the button to the right of the path edit box to eject the Network Client Distribution Directory dialog box. Select the "MSClient" item in the Drop-down box and click OK to return to the shared Network Client Installation file dialog box. Then in the path edit box you can see \ \ server name \clients\, and click OK. You can also type the path to the client software directly in the path edit box.
4. In the Make Installation Disk Group dialog box, select Network Client v30 for MS-dos and Windows. Click OK.
5. Insert the floppy disk and click OK when the computer starts making the network setup disk, which requires a total of two 35 inch 144m floppy disks. However, when installing, the first installation disk is usually required.
Second, the installation of network client software
1. Start the DOS operating system for the workstation.
2. Insert the first installation disk in the floppy drive of the workstation and type the command line: A:\setupexe.
3. The screen displays "Setup for Microsoft network Client for MS-DOS" installer prompts, press ENTER. Then type a directory for the installer to copy the network client software, for example: C:\net.
4. Setup begins checking the system files and selecting the correct options in the list of network adapters that are listed later. Enter the user name after the carriage return. For example: Wangping. No more than 20 characters.
5 Next on the screen is a list of four options:
(1) Names;
(2) Setup Option;
(3) Network Configuration;
(4) The list options are correct.
Select one of the top three items and press ENTER to see the item's details, and you can modify it. For example, to change the network configuration, select the third item and enter, select Remove to delete the network adapter, and then select "Add Adapter" to add a new adapter (select the appropriate adapter in the list that appears later). Select ' Add Protocol ' to add a network protocol. Select "Network configuration is correct" to return.
6. If you have no objection to the above three settings, select the "list options are correct" entry and start the installation after the carriage return.
Setup will modify the system settings, noting that the Configsys file should contain the following statements:
S=20
Device=c:\net\ifshlpsys
Last Drive=z
The following statements should be added to the Autoexecbat file:
C:\Net\Net Initialize
C:\Net\Nwlink
C:\Net\Net Start
Of course, you can also execute these commands after the computer is started.
Once the installation is complete, restart the computer, and if the network is initialized successfully, you can connect to the server.
Third, connect with NT Server
1. C:>net, a connection (Connection) dialog window appears on the top left of the screen.
2. Press ALT+P, enter the shared directory of other computers on the network you will visit, and if you want to access the server's optical drive, enter: "\\My_Server\Cdrom". (This assumes that the CD-ROM of the server "My_Server" is already set to "shared" and that it shares the name "Cdrom". )
3. Press Alt+v to give a drive letter to the path you want to access, such as "F", and be careful not to overlap the drive letter you have already used.
4. Press Alt+c to start the connection, and if the connection succeeds, see the new entry in the current connection (Connection) List: "F:is \ My_server\cdrom".Hot Network
5. Press Alt+x to exit.
6. C:>f:, then F: becomes the current letter.
7. F:>dir, if you have the CD in the server's CD drive, you can browse the contents of the CD.
Now you can copy and install files from the CD drive on the server. Of course, the first thing you need to do is install the Windows 95 operating system. Then complete the network configuration in Windows 95.
