Return to and exit Windows, then reboot your client
workstation. After Windows has been restarted, proceed to
the next section explaining setup and use of NCSIPort.
NCSIPort for Windows 3.x Program Setup
Before you setup NCSIPort for Windows 3.x, there are three
items you should check concerning your Windows
configuration:
• The IPX version of NCSI requires extra dynamic sockets in
order to function properly when file and printer sharing is
enabled. It is advisable to check this setting through the
Network Settings option under the Windows Control Panel
before installing the NCSIPort Client.
• Examine your Windows SYSTEM.INI file and, if not
already there, add the following lines under the [386Enh]
section. This allows COM3 and COM4 to be available for
re-direction by NCSIPort.
[386Enh]
Com3AutoAssign=0
Com4AutoAssign=0
• Examine your Windows WIN.INI file and, if not already
there, add the following lines under the [ports] section. This
will allow some applications, such as the Windows Terminal
program to “see” COM Ports 3 and 4.
[ports]
COM3:=9600,n,8,1,p
COM4:=9600,n,8,1,p
After you have made any needed changes to the items
above, Exit and restart Windows.
