I've installed off a DOS partition, but cannot find how to set the DNS name server, netmask, etc. During a previous (unsuccessful) attempt to install from FTP I got a full screen for entering all the necessaries, but haven't found it since. I've "man"'d, helped, doced, etc etc. Can't find DNS, nameserver etc in the WC booklet. 2. Also something is assigning my Netcom 3C5098 network adapter a false value ("bnc" meaning 10base2 I believe). Here's what scrolls by during boot-up. Anyway to get rid of that bnc? (My 3coms are hooked by 10BaseT thru an Everyware 2060 router to a 24-hour 128K ISDN feed, all of which has been working for some months for a DOS tcp/ip stack as well as Windows NT, such as it is.) ep0 0x300-0x30f irq 10 on isa ep0 aui/stp/bnc [etc] ^^^ If this is too stupid to merit a response just remember...I bought Windows NT. The only way is up from here.
