XCLN: Using ShivaRemote w/ Exchange (MS-DOS/LanMan TCP/IP)

Server Considerations

1. In Control Panel, click the Network icon.
2. Click RAS, click Network, and click Server Settings.
3. Click TCP, and select the "Allow remote clients to request a predetermined IP address" check box.

Client Configuration

1. Configure Lanman with the following options:
   
   
   • TCP/IP (only) bound to the network card driver
   • A static IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway
   • DHCP disabled
2. Manually add entries for the Microsoft Exchange Server computer name and IP address in the HOSTS file. This file is located in the <drive>:\Lanman.dos\Etc directory, where <drive> is the letter of the local hard disk drive where LanMan is installed.
3. Configure Lanman with the following options:
   
   
   • Username and HostName in the Advanced dialog box
   • Windows Sockets enabled in the Advanced dialog box
   • Computername, Username, and Domain in the Workstation Settings dialog box
4. Install the Microsoft Exchange client for MS-DOS. By default, the installation will install the ShivaRemote files in the same directory that the Microsoft Exchange client for MS-DOS is installed in.
5. In the Config.sys file, manually add the following line:
   DEVICE=C:\EXCHANGE\DIALNDIS.EXE(after DEVICE=...\PROTMAN.DOS /i:C:\LANMAN.DOS)
6. In the Config.sys file, remark out or remove the line that loads the network card driver.
7. In the \Lanman.Dos\Protocol.ini file, manually edit the following:

         [TCPIP_XIF]
         ;BINDINGS = "LAN Card Driver"     Remark out this line
         BINDINGS = SDIALIN$               Add this line
   
         [SDIALIN$]                        Add this line
         DriverName = SDIALIN$             Add this line
   						

8. Restart the computer and press F5 when the "Starting MS-DOS" text message is displayed. This will bypass the Config.sys and Autoexec.bat files if you are using MS-DOS 6.xx.
9. Run Connect.exe from the Microsoft Exchange client installation directory to bring up the ShivaRemote Connect window.
10. On the Tools menu, click Port Setup to configure the modem port. (You may receive an Out of Memory message if you attempt to select a port/modem without first booting with an F5.)
11. Click the Options button to select the IP protocol and type the static IP address of the client computer. For more information on creating and saving a connection file, refer to the ShivaRemote Online Guide.
12. Save the new connection information and quit the Connect.exe utility.
13. Restart the computer again. If you receive any error messages during startup, resolve these before continuing.
14. Open the connection file you want and click the Connect button. After the connection has been established, quit the Connect program. You should see the message regarding the static IP address. Make sure this is the same IP address which is statically assigned to the client computer.
15. Next, attempt to PING the Microsoft Exchange server computer's IP address and host name. The PING.EXE utility is located in the \LANMAN.DOS\NETPROG directory. If PINGing the host name fails, but PINGing the IP address works, the HOSTS file must be modified (see Step 2 above). This step is necessary for the Microsoft Exchange client to connect to the server.
16. Start the Microsoft Exchange client.
