Netbios on Dos

[TheFraix]

I've been connecting my 2 computers using a point-to-point connection, and I was wondering...

how do I install Netbios on my network so I can play WC Armada?

Well, for one, it can only be played in DOS, so I hope you have DOS drivers for your network adapter.

Nowadays?
Best start with getting an IPX network running.
You will need
LSL.com
some odi driver that came with your network card (hopefully)
and
IPXODI.com or IPXODI.exe Don't remember which one.
You will also need a properly configured net.cfg file which can be a PITA. A (usually) bad sample can be found on the driver disks.

First try if that is running. Use Armada Prooving Grounds for example - the free Armada Addon. Unlike the original that one uses IPX.

Next get a hold of the file netbios.com
It can be found with various novel products as well as caldera open dos 7.0 IIRC. Not that hard to spot.

If all set up correctly so far just run that file and it will emulate netbios over ipx.

Oh and pray that you got enough memory for all athat drivers...
