NET.CFG Options Reference
Link Driver Option
If the IBM LAN Support driver’s DXMT0MOD.SYS file is to load in the
CONFIG.SYS file, one of two actions must be performed:
1 Set “o=n” on the command line for loading the DXMT0MOD.SYS file in the
CONFIG.SYS file and use this parameter in the NET.CFG file.
2 Set “o=y” on the command line to load the DXMT0MOD.SYS file and set the
frame size for the NDIS driver. Do not use this parameter in the NET.CFG file.
PORT [#1 | #2] hex_starting_address [hex_number_of_ports]
Specifies the starting port (hex_starting_address) and number of ports in the
range (hex_number_of_ports).
Syntax port [#1 | #2] hex_starting_address
[hex_number_of_ports]
All values must be written in hexadecimal
notation.
Default #1
Example If the starting I/O port on an NE2100 LAN driver is 300
and 16 ports are in the first range, you would place the
following lines in your NET.CFG file:
link driver ne2100
port 300 16
To specify two ranges with 32 ports in each range, you
could place the following lines in your NET.CFG file:
link driver ne2100
port #1 300 32
port #2 340 32
