3.10.1 DOS Tools for NetBIOS
If you have problems installing and using the NetBIOS management
tools, the following suggestions might help:
¥
When using the
showprn.exe
tool, and the printer/NIC does not
appear, issue the command with a
-d0
,
-d1
or
-d2
switch:
showprn.exe -d1
This causes
showprn
to use an alternate stack to send the packet.
This problem shows up sometimes in systems that have multiple NICs
or multiple protocols loaded. If a
-d1
switch was used with the
showprn.exe
tool, use it on the
NBMON
command line.
¥
If the IPX protocol is loaded and running on a system running
Windows 95, the check box for
Send NetBIOS over IPX
should not be
checked.
Send NetBIOS over IPX
is located in the
Control Panel
-->
Network
-
->
IPX Compatible Protocol
screen.
¥
Open up the
Control Panel
,
Networks
screen. Choose
NetBEUI
protocol. Check the checkbox marked
Set this Protocol to be the
Default Protocol
. In Windows 95, it is located in the
Advanced
Options
window.
