As a user of NT network, you may have encountered this situation: the network hardware is connected, the server has also installed Windows NT Server, and all necessary configurations have been made. However, since the computer that is preparing to enter the network does not have an optical drive, it cannot install Windows 95, and naturally it is impossible to use Windows 95 to access the network. What should you do at this time? Can I access the Internet directly from DOS? The answer is yes. Back to the server, you will find that Windows NT provides a solution for networking in the DOS environment. Once practiced, OK! The whole process can be divided into the following three steps:
1. Make a network installation disk
1. Start the server's NT Server, click "Start", select the "Programs" item, open the "Administrative Tools" column, and click the "Network Client Manager" column.
2. In the "Network Client Manager" dialog box that pops up, select the second item: Create the installation disk group (I). Then click the Continue button.
3. In the Shared Network Customer Installation File dialog box, select the first item: Use the existing path (E). Then click the button on the right side of the path editing box to pop up the "Network Customer Distribution Directory" dialog box. Select the "msclient" item in the drop-down box, click the "OK" button, and return to the "Shared Network Customer Installation Files" dialog box. At this time, you can see "\\Server Name\Clients\" in the "Path" edit box and click "OK". You can also type the path where the client software is located directly in the Path edit box.
4. In the "Make Install Disk Group" dialog box, select "Network Client V30 for MS-DOS and Windows". Click OK.
5. Insert the floppy disk and click "OK". At this time, the computer starts to make a network installation disk, and a total of two 3.5-inch 1.44M floppy disks are required. However, when installing, you usually only need the first installation disk.
2. Install network customer software
1. Start the workstation's DOS operating system.
2. Insert the first installation disk into the floppy drive of the workstation and type the command line: A:\Setupexe.
3. The screen displays the "Setup for Microsoft Network Client for MS-DOS" installation program prompt message, press Enter. Then type a directory so that the installer can copy the network client software, for example: C:\Net.
4. The installer starts checking the system files and selects the correct option in the subsequent list of network adapters. Enter the user name after pressing. For example: WangPing. No more than 20 characters at most.
5. Next, 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 see the detailed information of the item and modify a certain setting. For example, to change the network configuration, select the third item and press 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 network protocol. Select "Network configuration is correct" to return.
6. If there is no objection to the above three settings, select the "The list options are correct" item and start the installation after pressing.
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
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.
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, a Connection dialog window appears in the upper left side 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, you can enter: "\\My_Server\Cdrom". (This assumes that the optical drive of the server "My_Server" has been set to "Share" and its share name is "Cdrom".)
3. Press Alt+V to give the path you want to access a drive letter, such as "F", be careful not to overlap the drive letter you have already used.
4. Press Alt+C to start the connection. If the connection is successful, you will see a new one in the Current Connection list: "F:Is \\ My_Server\Cdrom".Hot Network
5. Press Alt+X to exit.
6. C:>F:, then F: becomes the current drive letter.
7. F:>dir, if the CD has been placed in the server's optical drive, then you can browse the CD contents.
Now you can copy and install files through the optical 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.
1. Make a network installation disk
1. Start the server's NT Server, click "Start", select the "Programs" item, open the "Administrative Tools" column, and click the "Network Client Manager" column.
2. In the "Network Client Manager" dialog box that pops up, select the second item: Create the installation disk group (I). Then click the Continue button.
3. In the Shared Network Customer Installation File dialog box, select the first item: Use the existing path (E). Then click the button on the right side of the path editing box to pop up the "Network Customer Distribution Directory" dialog box. Select the "msclient" item in the drop-down box, click the "OK" button, and return to the "Shared Network Customer Installation Files" dialog box. At this time, you can see "\\Server Name\Clients\" in the "Path" edit box and click "OK". You can also type the path where the client software is located directly in the Path edit box.
4. In the "Make Install Disk Group" dialog box, select "Network Client V30 for MS-DOS and Windows". Click OK.
