The PCAUSA SNTRANS project is an example NDIS 3.1 PROTOCOL virtual device driver for Windows 95. SNTRANS is written in the 'C' programming language specifically for VtoolsD for VxD framework, and provides a basic empty shell for developing your own protocol driver. SNTRANS is functional only to the extent that it registers the SNTRANS protocol and automatically binds to one MAC adapter, and unbinds when the driver is unloaded. No other functionality is provided in the sample.

The Microsoft NT DDK includes two NDIS protocol driver samples. In addition, an updated NT 4.0 Packet driver sample is available on the Microsoft website.

The Microsoft Windows NT DDK team has a sample NDIS Intermediate (IM) Driver named "ImSamp" on their website at: The Microsoft NT 5.0 Beta 2 DDK includes a different NDIS IM Driver sample "PassThru" under the directory: January 6, 1999 - Andrew Zabolotny <bit@eltech.ru> has contributed a paper that includes his instructions on how to adapt a intermediate driver that works with network cards to make it work with RAS.

On the Windows Setup tab, click on Communications (do not click on the check box next to Communications), then click on Details. Click to select the Dial-Up Networking check box, then click on OK on the Windows Setup tab, and click on OK. Windows 95/98 now installs the necessary components to use dial-up networking. Have your Windows 95/98 CD or disks ready.

Install Windows 95/98 first, after that FreeBSD. FreeBSD's boot manager will then manage to boot Win95/98 and FreeBSD. If you install Windows 95/98 second, it will boorishly overwrite your boot manager without even asking. If that happens, see the next section.

I unzipped WD503REG.ZIP and entered the password, but the installation process stopped and I received the following error message:

Miniport Drivers replace platform-specific functionality with platform-independent "wrapper" functions. The writer of a "legacy" driver is free to use whatever functionality is available to develop a device driver. The penalty for this freedom is that the resulting driver is limited in that it can only be used on the operating system that provides the selected features.

Running DOS, go into the tools/ directory of your FreeBSD distribution and look for bootinst.exe. You run it like so: ...\TOOLS> bootinst.exe boot.bin Boot the FreeBSD boot floppy again and go to the Custom installation menu item. Choose Partition. Select the drive which used to contain your boot manager (likely the first one) and when you come to the partition editor for it, as the very first thing (e.g. do not make any changes) select (W)rite.

Click Start, then move the mouse cursor to Settings, then click Control Panel, then double-click Display, then click the Settings tab. Adjusting the slider bar generally tells you what you need to know about your video system's capabilities right away. Not necessarily. Many video cards have room for more memory chips. Sometimes adding RAM to your video card can increase the video card's display capabilities.

Second, untar the decompressed file using a shareware tar utility. Place the ThoughtTreasure distribution in a convenient location on your hard disk such as C:\ThoughtTreasure. Click on the [Properties] icon. (In Windows 95/98, if you place the cursor on an icon, its name will be displayed underneath it.) Exit the MS-DOS window because the changes made do not take effect until a new MS-DOS window is started.

Download and install DJGPP version 2.01 or higher. DJGPP is a complete C/C++ development system for PCs that includes ports of many GNU development utilities including the gcc compiler. A makefile is present in the src directory of the ThoughtTreasure distribution. Edit the makefile for your platform, as explained in the makefile.

Make sure ThoughtTreasure is installed and compiled. (See "How do I install ThoughtTreasure under Windows 95/98?" and "How do I compile ThoughtTreasure under Windows 95/98?")

Yes, this is the easiest way to connect to mcsi.net and the way that we recommend the most. Review the manuals or on-line documentation for Dial up Networking.

Printed documentation comes with Windows 95/98, as well as some documentation on the CD-ROM. Help files are available from the Start menu. The Windows 95 Resource Kit contains in-depth information on Windows 95. It's available at bookstores and software stores. World Wide Web support for Windows 95/98 is at: http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/ http://www.microsoft.com/windows98/

In the one case I have been able to examine, following the steps in the question above (10.2.3) solved the problem.

In the sole case that I have been able to examine, following the instructions above (Q. 12.2.2) allowed the game to run.

It is possible to load NDIS 3.0 NDIS MAC drivers (and make them work) on Windows 2000, but Windows 2000 is the last release that it will support them. Microsoft is killing Full NIC driver support after Windows 2000.

Yes, the kX Driver is FREE and will remain FREE. However, you can support the development effort by donating to the kX Fund.

Yes. Right click on a shortcut of the program -> properties -> compatibility and check Run in compatibility mode.

No. PortsLock only works on Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP and it is impossible to install it on Windows 95/98 or Windows Me. However, if you would like to have user-level access control for TCP/IP connections on Windows 9x/Me, you can take a look at a third-party product - Internet Access Scheduler developed by Shatran Software.

No. Windows Me is designed to replace Windows 95 and 98. You can, however dual boot Windows Me with Windows 2000, or use a third party utility, such as System Commander or BootIt Direct, if you wish to dual boot Windows Me with Win9x.

Windows 2000 and Windows XP provide their own certified drivers for some EMU10kX-based audio cards. Our kX Audio Driver has not been certified by Microsoft (WHQL-ed) and thus a special installation procedure might be required. It is recommended that you first try running kXSetup, and if that fails, follow our Windows XP installation guide.

Possibly, depending on your hardware and installation. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it crashes as soon as you run it. You may have better luck if you set the following settings for the MS-DOS session that the game will run in (right click on CDSHOCK.BAT or SSHOCK.BAT, depending on which version of the game you're running) and select Properties.)

In general IRDA ports provide a 3-4 ft range for the Mindpath Remote. A better option would be to use the Mindpath External IR receiver which provides upto a 50 ft range. To configure your laptop's IrDA Port for use with the Mind Path Remote, first go into the BIOS of the system and enable the Infrared Port on Com1 or an open Com Port. (Note: If you do not know how to enter your computer BIOS, contact your computer manufacturer.

Some Windows 95/98 users seem to have very slow logon times, as long as two or three minutes. The symptom is that Windows 95/98 will dial the number, successfully verify username and password, and then seem to hang for a very long time at the 'Logging on to Network' phase before completing the connection. The cause is that Windows 95/98 is attempting to negotiate a connection with several network clients and protocols that are enabled by default for Dial-up Networking.

The resolutions available in the Windows display properties are dependent on two things, what the driver supports and what the monitor supports. The resolutions for your display adapter are defined in the Windows registry when a device driver is installed. The resolutions for your monitor is a little bit different. Information for your monitor is dependent on how it is defined in display properties. In the 'Advanced..
