Install the Network Operating System Remove any references to a network adapter driver and netbios In the appropriate batch file add the following before loading the network operating system. Load the driver program, IPXDE65S.COM. Load the NetBIOS Emulator program, NBIOS.EXE. The following switches can adjust Netbios to meet the configuration. >NBIOS [/Sm] [/Ck] The parameters after NBIOS are optional. Their functions are: /Sm specifies the maximum number of sessions allowed in your computer where m ranges from 1 up to 254.If this parameter is not specified, the default values of 32 will be used. /Ck specifies the maximum number of NetBIOS commands that can be used in your computer; where k ranges from 1 up to 255. If this parameter is not specified, the default value of 32 will be used. Your computer is now ready to run a NetBIOS-based network operating system.
