5824.0. "DEC FDDcontroler/PCI doesnt Work TCP/IP in NT 3.51" by DELS03::M_FODIC () Thu Mar 20 1997 07:38

    Hi

    I have the following configuration :
    
    	. A prioris XL Server 590 version 2.08
    	. A DEC FDDIcontroller/PCI, Software Version 2.80 and 2.81
    	. Windows NT 3.51 service Pack 5
    
    The DEC FDDIcontroller/PCI interface works fine with Netbeui Protocol,
    but with TCP/IP(Microsoft) doesn't. I don�t know what is happening, I
    made some testing with ethernet card and TCP/IP and it works fine. In Alpha
    systen with NT 3.51, this interface works fine.
    
    Why DEC FDDIcontroller/PCI with TCP/IP Protocol doesnt�t work in this 
    configuration ?.
    
    Thank for your help.

Mauricio,

Since the adapter works with Netbeui then several key things are working:
	1. you have an adapter that connects to the network
	2. you have a driver that connects to the adapter
This is good.

For TCP/IP you need several other configuration settings associated with
the FDDI adapter. In Control Panel - Network - TCPIP protocol you need

	node name
	IP address of your node
	subnet mask
	default gateway

I don't have a 3.51 system handy any more for exact particulars.

  Can you ping your default gateway on FDDI?  
  Can another node on FDDI ping you?
  From a dosbox what does "netstat" show?

This must be just a configuration problem...

	Almost every time I have had a problem like this it turned out to be
	MFFT (my fat-fingered typing).  Make sure the numbers you entered 
	into you IP configuration is what you want them to be.
