Hi,

I am have problems with installing hubwatch onto a PC with a 3com 3c509 card

I am getting the following error when strtndis issues the netbind command

"Unable to bind"

Listed below is my protocol.ini file and strtndis.bat


Protocol.ini

[protocol manager]
    DRIVERNAME  = PROTMAN$
 
[DATALINK]
    DRIVERNAME  = DLL$MAC
    LG_BUFFERS  = 14
    SM_BUFFERS  = 6
    OUTSTANDING = 32
    BINDINGS    = elnk3.dos
    DECPARM     = C:\HUBWATCH\
 
[ethernet 16] 
    DRIVERNAME = elnk3$
    DriverName = elnk3$


Strtndis.bat

@echo off
C:
cd \HUBWATCH

if %path% == "" goto no_path
	path >c:\HUBWATCH\oldpath.bat
	goto path_done
:no_path
	echo set path=>c:\HUBWATCH\oldpath.bat
:path_done
	set OLDPCSA=%PCSA%
	set PCSA=C:\HUBWATCH
	SET PATH=%PCSA%;%PATH%
save
ld c:\hubwatch\protman.dos /i:C:\HUBWATCH

REM Choose the proper NDIS driver for your network card.

REM Uncomment only one of the following, or add a line to
REM ld the driver for your network card

REM Choose the next line for the etherwork III network card
REM ld ewrk3.dos

Everything above netbind loads successfully,
thereforeAny help with this problem will be appreciated.

Ian...

In your protocol.ini file you might try replacing the line:

	[ethernet 16]
with
	[elnk3.dos]

NETBIND seems to use the 'BINDINGS' value as an index to find the desired driver
configuration section within the file (so you can have multiple driver
configurations in the same protocol.ini file and just change the 'BINDINGS'
setting).
