Dos Error 8 Not Enough Memory Available
My Wishlist The Sorry State of American Cellular How to Troubleshoot a Computer Problem How to Upgrade Your Processor My Build and Sell Computer Project Installing Microsoft Network Client 3.0 Installation, Part Two Note the 3Com NIC driver initializing at the top of the screen After selecting "Network configuration is correct" to continue, we will be taken back to the confirmation screen. Press enter to install files, and insert the appropriate disks when prompted. When Setup is finished, it will prompt you to remove any floppy from the drive and then restart. Restart your computer, and hit ESC when you see the Windows 9X splash screen (not if you used a DOS boot disk, however) so you can see if your NIC driver installed correctly. You will know it loaded correctly if you see a message saying "Initializing TCP/IP via DHCP..." At this point, you will most likely encounter "Error 8: There is not enough memory available." Well, if you remember from your old DOS days, DOS programs only have 640k of memory to work with. Thus, we must free up some memory. Insert your boot disk into the floppy drive, and copy the following files to the root of the hard drive: HIMEM.SYS EMM386.EXE SMARTDRV.EXE EDIT.COM Then, type edit config.sys at the C:\ prompt, and press enter. Here, we will make some modifications. Change the contents of this file to look like the following: FILES=40 BUFFERS=25 DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS DEVICE=EMM386.EXE NOEMS DEVICEHIGH=C:\NET\IFSHLP.SYS Save the file (Alt-F-S) and then open (Alt-F-O) AUTOEXEC.BAT. Modify this file to look like the following: SET PATH=C:\NET;C:\ LH C:\NET\NET INITIALIZE LH C:\NET\NWLINK LH C:\NET\NETBIND.COM LH C:\NET\UMB.COM LH C:\NET\TCPTSR.EXE LH C:\NET\TINYRFC.EXE LH C:\NET\NMTSR.EXE LH C:\NET\EMSBFR.EXE LH C:\NET\NET START Save the file, then quit (Alt-F-X) the edit program. Remove your boot floppy and restart your computer. "Error 8" error message, the modified CONFIG.SYS file, and the modified AUTOEXEC.BAT file Once your computer restarts this time, you should not receive an error 8, but rather a username prompt. Press enter to input your default username, then type in your password. Choose Y to create a password-list file and confirm with your password. You should now receive a "command completed successfully" message. Now, we have come to the moment of truth. Type NET VIEW and wait t
post how you can connect a cd-rom and configure a mouse, let's proceed now to configure TCP/IP networking. Now that you have the possibility to use a cd-rom: mount the iso downloaded at the beginning of the mentioned post and move to the MSCLIENT folder run setup.exe choose the folder you want install your drivers to now from the adapter list choose "*Network adapter not shown on list below" enter D:\\AMDPCNET\DOS (use the ascii code ALT+092 to write the backslash if you have problems entering it) as the driver directory to install the drivers for the "Advanced Micro Devices PCNET Family" adapter the system will tell you it has found the appropriate driver press 'Enter' to optimize the system for better performance choose the https://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~joyoung/msnetclnt/Page5.shtml name of your PC add the TCP/IP protocol (you can move between the two lists using TAB) remove IPX configure TCP/IP by clicking on 'Change Settings' set the IP address, the subnet mask and the default gateway (remember to use spaces instead of periods). Also, if you do not use a DHCP server, set 'Disable Automatic Configuration' to 1 Ok, at this point the Network Client is installed on your virtual machine. Just restart it to apply the modifications made to http://www.happysysadm.com/2012/10/how-to-install-ms-dos-622-under-vmware.html config.sys and autoexec.bat. Actually, on restart you should get an error message saying 'Error 8: There is not enough memory available' when loading the TCP/IP stack. This is a pretty common error due to the fact that MS-DOS is trying to load all the drivers in the first 640 kb of conventional memory (ahhh, the 640 kb limit, this makes me remember the old times...). Before MS-DOS can load a device driver into upper memory, there must be an upper memory block (UMB) provider (EMM386 is the standard) available and there must be enough space in that UMB. If UMB lacks memory to store the device drivers, they will be loaded into conventional memory. You can check to see which device drivers have been loaded into high memory by using the MEM /C command. So, to solve the problem, edit config.sys and add the following lines: device=c:\dos\himem.sys device=c:\dos\emm386.exe noems dos=high,umb Also forcefully move the cd-rom device driver and the Installable File System Helper (ifshlp.sys) to UMB by updating its lines like this: devicehigh=c:\hxcd-rom\cdrom.sys /D:MSCD000 devicehigh=c:\net\ifshlp.sys Upon restart the drivers should be loaded into the upper memory blocks, as the MEM /C command shows. At this point you should be able to ping and get pinged! That's all for this series of posts about installing MS-DOS virtual machines in a virtual environment. I hope they were helpful.

EMM 386 ist auskommentiert--> hilft nix. Buffers stehen inzwischen auf 90-->hilft auch nix. Watt nu?

Hallo harryhacker, Smartdrv dos error 8 beschleunigt nur den Dateizugriff auf die Festplatte. Wenn Du die Anzahl der Buffers erhöhst, wirst du wohl noch weniger freien Hauptspeicher haben! Was du machen kannst, ist in: protocol.ini NBSession = 4 (vorher 8) system.ini maxconnection = 4 (vorher 8) setzen. Vielleicht reicht auch 2, ausprobieren. Für eine 'Erfolgsprüfung' brauchst du nur den Befehl mem aufrufen, dazu mußt aber sicher die Datei mem.exe noch in das DiskImage einfügen. Generell wirst Du dann feststellen, dass der verfügbare Hauptspeicher unter DOS weniger als 600KB betragen dürfte! Wenn Du also etwa 40KB mehr freien Hauptspeicher brauchst gibt es nur eine ziemlich aufwendige Möglichkeit zum Umbau des OSD-Ablaufs..

One of the objectives of the MCSE exams is to perform an unattended installation of Windows 2000 Server, with one of the sub-objectives being to be able to perform such an installation using distribution files located on the network. From my studying of books and websites, I have found that whenever the subject of network installation arises, specific instructions are not given. For example, on page 89 of Sybex's "Windows 2000 Server Study Guide", the authors state that "the target computer must be able to connect to the distribution server over the network," yet she does not mention how to do so. Now, I must clarify that on any regular Windows computer
