SUMMARY
=======

In order to run non-Microsoft 16-bit Windows Sockets (WinSock) applications on
RemoteBoot MS-DOS workstations, you must enable WinSock support. This article
lists a method of enabling WinSock support for RemoteBoot operation using the
16-bit real mode TCP/IP stack.

MORE INFORMATION
================

For WinSock support in RemoteBoot operation, do the following:

1. Ensure that the following lines are present in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file located
  in the %SystemRoot%\RPL\RPLFILES\<profile name> directory:

  UMB.COM
  LOAD TCPIP
  NMTSR.EXE
  SOCKETS.EXE

2. Ensure the following is included in the PATH statement:

  C:\LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\PROTOCOL\TCPIP

3. Ensure that following lines are present in the DOSBB.CNF file located in the
  %SystemRoot%\RPL\BBLOCK\NETBEUI\<adapter name> directory:

  EXE BBLOCK\RPLBIND1.EXE ... TCPDRV.DOS

  NOTE: If any changes are made to the network card configuration details, make
  the appropriate changes to the PROTOCOL.INI file in the
  %SystemRoot%\RPL\BBLOCK\NETBEUI\<adapter name> directory.

4. Add the following line to the [tcpglobal] section of the TCPUTILS.INI file
  located in the %SystemRoot%\RPL\RPLFILES\MACHINES\<machine name>
  \<profile name>\WKSTA directory:

  [tcpglobal]
  hostname = <your computer name>

5. Add the following section to the TCPUTILS.INI file located at the
  %SystemRoot%\RPL\RPLFILES\MACHINES\<machine name>\<profile
  name>\WKSTA directory:

  [DNR]
  drivername=DNR$
  bindings=TCPIP_XIF
  domain=<TCP/IP domain name>
  nameserver0=<address of nameserver, separated by spaces>

  NOTE: Changes made to the TCPUTILS.INI file affects only the individual user
  profile. If the nameserver begins with a numeric digit, add quotes to the
  entry.

6. Add the following line to the [machinewritable files] section of the
  DOS622.FIT file located in the %SYSTEMROOT%\RPL\RPLFILES\RPLFIT directory:

  C:\LANMAN.DOS\TCPUTILS.INI\ MACHINES\(cname)\(profile) \WKSTA\TCPUTILS.INI

  NOTE: This line indicates that the TCPUTILS.INI file to be used is located at
  the individual user's profile directory instead of the global file.
