Windows NT DOS Client

[ManagerJay]

I am trying to setup a DOS Client to connect to my Windows NT Server, using TCP/IP. After TCP/IP for DOS loads, IO receive the following error message, "Error 8: Not Enough Memory." I receive this error whether I use DHCP or a static address.

In my config.sys file, I am loading himem.sys and then I am loading the rest of the programs using lh to put them into high memory.

I have also tried using netBEUI to connect to the server, but after the login, I am not able to map any network drives. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

put this in the top of your config.sys

device=himem.sys
device=emm386.exe noems
fcbs=4,0
dos=high,umb

this will make (almost) the maximum high memory available for programs to load.


make sure you have emm386.exe on the floppy as well as himem.sys

Thanks.

I will give this a try tomorrow and let you know if it works.

Also, try adding devicehigh= to each *.sys that you load in your config.sys (except himem.sys), and loadhigh= to lines in your autoexec.bat.

The drawback to the autoexec.bat files is that many DOS TCP/IP drivers will not load into high memory, and numerous error messages will follow the failure of one of these to load.

Safe files in autoexec.bat to load high include smartdrv.exe, mscdex.exe and mouse.com. in fact these 3 drivers alone consume so much conventional memory that is is always worth loading them high.

It's worth doing this if low memory is still an issue.

I hope this information is useful
