I am attempting to get a Win2K and WinXP workstation to work with AREV (on a NW4.11 server) and despite my best efforts, it isn't working. While the program does run, it is extraordinarily slow. I've read all of the messages in the group about these issues but can't seem to get it to work right.
Here are my config files:
AUTOEXEC.NT
@echo off
REM Install CD ROM extensions
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\mscdexnt.exe
REM Install network redirector (load before dosx.exe)
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\redir
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\nw16
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\vwipxspx
REM Install DPMI support
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx
%SystemRoot%\system32\vipx.exe
%SystemRoot%\system32\vlmsup.exe
CONFIG.NT
dos=high, umb
device=%SystemRoot%\system32\himem.sys
device=%SystemRoot%\system32\emm386.exe 4096 ram
FILES=200
I am running the program from a batch file (hdwc.bat) that says this:
;@ECHO OFF
K:
SET AREV=\AREV\COLOR_US.INI
CD\AREV
CLS
LHIPXTSR.EXE
AREV HDWMGR.COLOR/E/X/M4096
LHIPXTSR /U
CD\
The memory properties for the shortcut to hdwc.bat are set for auto everything EXCEPT for EMS which is set to 4096. Per another message in the forum, I have deselected "always suspend" and adjusted idel sensitivity to 80%.
PLEASE HELP! Thank you!

Just one addendum… I am using Client 32 v4.8 on Win2K and NLM v1.5.
Thanks again!

You are right, this combination is slow beyond belief. I have discussed this with Revelation and they are pursuing a fix of some type. You might call them and ask about its status.
Personally, I believe that the culprit may be vwipxspx, which is a Microsoft implementation of ipx. The 4.8 client in Windows NT does not require this program in autoexec.nt, but the 4.8 client in Windows 2000 does.
