Trying mTCP on an a0751h

[har...@dds.nl]

Hi,

I am trying to get mTCP working on an a0751h netbook.
For this I have prepared an USB flash key; and found some odi drivers
for my network card.
(In Windows 7 it's listed as an rtl8102e).

From http://packetdriversdos.net/ I downloaded:
http://packetdriversdos.net/ZIP/0001-NWODI148.zip

Running:
- LSL.COM
- RTEODI.COM
- ODIPKT.COM

All works; however creating the TCP.CFG with:
- PACKETINT 0x60
- HOSTNAME a0751h
- MTU 1500
And loading DHCP.EXE results in:

Init: could not setup packet driver
Could not initialize TCP/IP stack.

Any tips?

Greetings,

The message means that DHCP was not able to talk to the packet driver.  Your configuration file looks correct but check the value of the software interrupt being used by the packet driver; if there really is a packet driver at 0x60 DHCP should have detected it.

From my understanding, OPIPKT does not speak "hex", so the second parameter to it should have been a decimal 96 to indicate hexadecimal 0x60 ?

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your swift answer! Indeed this was the issue adding the 0 96
to ODIPKT did the trick ;-)
It's now working excellent!
