LanSmart-----A multi-machine networking software under DOS - China DOS Union Forum

DLINK, let's call it that for now (haven't used it for more than ten years, forgot which company's product it is, and haven't looked at it now). This is a multi-machine networking software under DOS that I used in 1993. It can share disks, share printers, and set operation permissions, which is very convenient.

When running on a machine, it can act as a server or a client. The resources of the server can be accessed by the client. It can share disks and share printers. The printing tasks of the printer can continue to print after the machine is restarted. The server can run other programs. Back then, besides Netware, it was this one.

As for the usage method, I remember it was very simple. I also forgot the details now, but I just remember that DOS's share.exe must be run, and the IPX communication protocol needs to be loaded first.

I found it again. It's D-link's LanSmart, which supports D-link's ISA network cards and also supports NE2000-compatible network cards.

First, run the network card's IPX driver:
lsl
xxxx----network card driver
ipxodi
Then run in the D-link directory:
net
Then run other tools.

Don't say I'm digging up old threads. I downloaded the楼主's stuff, so I naturally want to thank the楼主 a bit. Although I don't know how to use this thing, I'm not a DLINK network card. I wonder if I can add other network card drivers by myself
