I'm no networking expert, but I have managed to get my PC running
reflection for HP with NSVT to the HP3000. It was quite a struggle, I too
referred to Denys' excellent tips which I only found out about near the end
of my struggle!
I have IPX/SPX and TCP/IP configured but not NETBEUI which I read somewhere
that Win95 networking uses. Someone posted a message recently that
suggested that IPX and TCP/IP couldn't co-exist??
I didn't need to make any changes in NMMGR as all the networking stuff was
already setup. Look at NETXPORT.NI.LAN.PROTOCOL.IP and make sure that the
HP3000 has an IP address specified.
The steps I missed early on were having a PATH entry in AUTOEXEC.BAT for
the location of RNNSVT.DLL, after I installed Reflection this file was
named RNNSVTX.DLL, I just nenamed it. I have set up a HOSTS file in
C:\WINDOWS, but I think you can just plug the IP address of the HP3000 into
Reflection.
The only problem I still have is that when I start up a new Reflection
session, I always get prompted for a dial-up connection first, even though
I have set 'don't prompt for dial-up' in the dial-up networking program.
Now my challenge is to connect up the laset printer.
