Q1: Which Internet books are recommended for a Internet beginner?
Ed Krol, "The Whole Internet User's Guide & Catalog"
Q2: Can I have Linux and NT installed on the same pc?
Thanks to Mark Cooke ([email protected]) for the following answer.
You can use LILO with the linux partition active in the superblock instead of the MBR. Using LILO you can choose between DOS/NT and Linux. Then I use NT's boot manager to choose between Dos and NT.Installed Dos first, then Linux, and then NT.
Q3: Where can I find the GNU binaries for NT?
ftp://ftp.cc.utexas.edu/microlib/nt/gnu
Q4: Where is the port of GNU gcc to NT? Is it version 2.6.+ ?
You can ftp gcc-2.6.0 from ftp.cs.yale.edu /pub/gnat

"Personal Internet Access Using SLIP or PPP: How You Use It,
How it Works" by Frank Hecker
FTP//ftp.digex.net/pub/access/hecker/internet/slip-ppp.txt
Q8: Where do I find SLIP/PPP for NT? How do I install SLIP/PPP for NT?
A.) Double click on the Main program group
B.) Double click on Network
C.) Click on add software
D.) Choose Remote Access Service
Q9: Help: My RAS PPP/SLIP connection is not working?
You probably have one of three problems either the slip link is not working, or your NT system is not accessing the UNIX service DNS,or the IP routing is messed up between your NT system and your slip providers UNIX network.
1.) Can you ping any addresses on the other end of the slip or PPP link? Try pinging the UNIX server or the gateway. Drop to DOS and use the ping command. Use the numeric IP address.
2.) Try turning VJ compression off. Sometimes telnet and FTP will not work if you have VJ compression on and the system you are
connected to does not support VJ compression. If you are using TIA be sure and set the NT option for VJ compression to off.
Since, TIA does not support VJ compression.
3.) Check and confirm that the following are correct:
Double click on the Main program group icon, then double click on the Control Panel icon, then double click on Network icon, select the TCP/IP protocol and click on the configure button. Click on DNS and verify the following is correct:
A.) The Host Name for your PC
B.) Your Domain Name
C.) Add the proper DNS IP address or addresses for your slip/PPP service.
Click on OK to confirm DNS changes
Click on OK to close out the TCP configuration dialog.
Click on OK to close the Network configuration dialog.
If you are not sure please ask slip/PPP service providers system admin. to confirm them for you.
4.) Drop the baud rate to 9600, some Arts do not work above 9600 without UART receiver overruns.
5.) Finally try finding someone else who is using NT slip or PPP at your location. Ask the system admin. if anyone else is
successfully running NT via slip or ppp.
6.) Can you dial in using slip or PPP from a known working system using your username and password?
7.) Are you using dynamic IP addressing (boot)?
With slip you will have to manually login using Rasphone and then type your IP into the little white box at the lower right
side of the screen and click on the DONE button. For PPP you can automate the login follow the directions under question no.
27 below. Also a NT workstation using RAS to dial into a NT server will work with dynamic IP if the NT server is configured
for DHCP.
8.) Are you using a static IP address?
The first time you dial in using the RAS SLIP use the manual login option, you will get a screen a 0.0.0.0 IP address displayed
in a white box at the bottom of the screen. Type in your assigned SLIP IP address and click on the DONE button. The IP address will be written into the rasphone.pbk as the SlipIpAddress=NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN entry under the currently active selection in the rasphone.pbk file located in the /winnt35/system32/ras directory.
9.) After you dial in and login in shell out to does and see what the netstat -rn utility shows.
My netstat -rn returned the following info after my slip link is connected. My IP address is 198.60.143.32 and my slip service
providers gateway is 168.158.8.5 Network Address Netmask Gateway Address Interface Metric
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 198.60.143.32 198.60.143.32 1

Q10: Where can I find a UUCP implementation for NT?
You'll find UUCP on ftp.cica.indiana.edu
Q11: Does 3.5's RAS support dynamic ip addressing?
Yes NTAS V3.5 allows you to setup up a range of address that the remote ras clients can request. This is called dynamic addressing or bootp. and it works. The NTAS server is configured as a DHCP server. When the remote pc calls in via RAS and is authenticated the NTAS server assigns the remote pc an IP from the pool of unused IP addresses.
Q12: If a remote user dials into a NT 3.5 PPP server, will this person be able to
A.) Use File Manager or Net Use commands to access NetBIOS-based shared drives?
Yes, if the remote user is using NT Workstation V3.5 or WFWG V3.1 RAS.
No, if the remote user is using most third party PPP implementations such as Chameleon TCP/IP, Spry Air Series 3.0, and Trumpet SLIP/PPP Winsock. Most of the third party TCP/IP software packages do not support NETBIOS SMB over a remote slip/ppp connection.
B.) Use a POP mail client to connect to a POP server?
Yes, if the remote user is using NT Workstation V3.5 and RAS PPP with the TCP/IP option enabled on both ends of the RAS link.
Eudora email works great with NT V3.5 for SMTP and POP3
ftp://ftp.qualcomm.com/quest/eudora/windows/1.4/beta
filename eud143b4.exe
No, if the remote user is using WFWG V3.1 RAS. The WFWG RAS does not support PPP and TCP/IP. WFWG V3.1 RAS supports NETBEUI only.
Q13: Where can I get DNS for NT?
The Windows NT 3.5 resource kit is supposed to include a DNS software package, there is also a third party product called 'DNS Magic' that runs as a NT Service, company is 'Software Innovations' (winnt#innov.com)
Q14: Where do I configure the RAS TCP/IP settings for PPP connections?
Thanks to Tom Horsley ([email protected]) for his suggestion of configuring PPP from the Rasphone.
Instead of configuring PPP starting from the Network entry on the control panel, I find that I can configure those details
from the RAS program's phonebook in the Advanced edit dialog. This actually makes perfect sense because the details are likely to be different for each phone number.
For PPP you can configure the TCP/IP settings as follows:
Double click on the Remote Access icon.
Highlight the proper entry then click on the EDIT button.
Click on Advanced if set to Basic.
Click on Network button (Displays the Network Protocol Settings Dialog)
Check the PPP option.
Click on TCP/IP Settings
If using dynamic IP addresses, check "Use server assigned IP addresses".
If using a static IP address, check "Require specific IP address" and fill in your assigned address. and enter the primary and backup DNS IP addresses. The backup DNS is optional.
If your provider supports compressed ppp, check Use VJ compression. and also check the use default gateway on remote network.
Q15: Where do I configure the TCP/IP settings for SLIP connections?
Double click on the Main program group icon, then double click on the Control Panel icon, then double click on Network icon, select the TCP/IP protocol and click on the configure button. Click on DNS and verify the following is correct:
A.) The Host Name for your PC
B.) Your Domain Name
C.) Add the proper DNS IP address or addresses for your slip/ppp service.
Click on OK to confirm DNS changes
Click on OK to close out the TCP configuration dialog.
Click on OK to close the Network configuration dialog.
NOTE: You will have to setup Rasphone to manually dial the first time you make a slip connection. Set the security options to "Use clear text Terminal login only", and set the Before and After Scripts to NONE. Then select/highlight your entry and click on Dial. You will manually login the first time you dialup for the slip connection, after the valid login using your username and password type slip<cr> at the remote servers command prompt, then type your IP into the little white box at the lower right side of the screen and click on the DONE button.
Q16: How do I avoid having to click on the DONE button to complete the slip/ppp connect when using rasphone?
I wrote two batch files for using rasdial and it worked great! The first rasdial batch file is for initiating the connection.
I then added to icons one for calling the startnet.bat and one for calling the stopnet.bat, you can use the open door icon for
startnet and the close door icon for stopnet. Place these batch files in the winnt directory so they are in the Win NT path.
Type path at the command prompt for path details. You can get the command line options for rasdial by typing rasdial /help
The startnet.bat file contains one line as follows:
rasdial evergreen
and the stopnet.bat file contains one line as follows:
rasdial evergreen /DISCONNECT
Q17: Will the NT slip work with TIA?
Yes NT slip will work with a TIA SLIP-via-shell account. However, Ping and traceroute will not work with a TIA
SLIP-via-shell account adapter, also TIA does not support VJ compression.
Q18: If I use WFWG V3.11 RAS to connect to a NTAS V3.5 server can I use telnet and FTP?
No, the WFWG V3.11 RAS uses the NETBEUI protocol and does not support the TCP/IP protocol.
You can use Peter Tattam's Trumpet Winsock which supports slip and ppp.

Q27: Does anyone know if there is a program which allows you to send SMTP mail from the command prompt on NT?
Pedro Mendes, ([email protected]) just finished making one such program, and it is freeware, see below:
WinNT's Blat ver 1.0 has been uploaded to the following FTP sites:
gepasi.dbs.aber.ac.uk:/blat10.zip
ftp.cica.indiana.edu:/pub/pc/win3/nt/blat10.zip
Distributions are in the form of .ZIP files, be sure to user binary
mode FTP to do the transfer.
Blat is a command line SMTP mail client for Windows NT, originally by Mark Neal and Pedro Mendes. A great part of the code in this program was produced by the WinVN team (including GENSOCK.DLL).
Both source code and binaries for intel 80486 are distributed. Recompile the source code if you need it for a different architecture.
below is a description of the program:
Blat is a Public Domain (generous aren't we?) Windows NT console utility which will e-mail a file to a user via SMTP. The program requires the "gensock" DLL (borrowed from WinVN). A Registry entry is generated when the program is used with the -SMTP flag. This stores the address of the SMTP server, and the address of the _default_ sender (this may be overridden with the -f flag).
Impersonation can be done with the -i flag which puts the value specified in place of the senders address in the "From:" line of the header, however if this is done the real senders address is stamped in the "Reply-To:" and "Sender:"

Q29: Where can I find a rsh for Windows NT to use with a UNIX host?
William Cheung ([email protected]) has developed a program called WinRSH/WinRSH32 - Remote Shell for Windows 1.6
This is an eighth release of WinRSH - Remote Shell for Windows The following details what are fixed/improved in this version:
WinRSH 1.6:
1. Added a message bar to display messages internal to WinRSH.
2. Fixed occasional screen garbling bugs.
3. Disconnection from the remote host is now more responsive.
4. Fixed a bug in not able to check the "Log to File" menu once it is unchecked.
5. The source code is now distributed as part of WinRSH in the SRC directory under the GNU licenses and agreements. For those who don't know what WinRSH is...
WinRSH contains a very simple user interface to allow a Window's user to run a program remotely on your workstation using either the RSH daemon or the REXEC daemon. The results of the remote execution are then displayed in a scrollable window.
The following is an excerpt from readme.txt included in the distribution.
