NET.CFG Options Reference

Link Driver Option

If the IBM LAN Support driver’s DXMT0MOD.SYS file is to load in the CONFIG.SYS file, one of two actions must be performed:

1Set “o=n” on the command line for loading the DXMT0MOD.SYS file in the CONFIG.SYS file and use this parameter in the NET.CFG file.

2Set “o=y” on the command line to load the DXMT0MOD.SYS file and set the frame size for the NDIS driver. Do not use this parameter in the NET.CFG file.

PORT [#1 #2] hex_starting_address [hex_number_of_ports]

Specifies the starting port (hex_starting_address) and number of ports in the range (hex_number_of_ports).

Syntax

port [#1 #2] hex_starting_address

 

[hex_number_of_ports]

 

All values must be written in hexadecimal

 

notation.

 

 

Default

#1

 

 

Example

If the starting I/O port on an NE2100 LAN driver is 300

 

and 16 ports are in the first range, you would place the

 

following lines in your NET.CFG file:

 

link driver ne2100

 

port 300 16

 

To specify two ranges with 32 ports in each range, you

 

could place the following lines in your NET.CFG file:

 

link driver ne2100

 

port #1 300 32

 

port #2 340 32
