Ramdisk...tcpip.sys...NIC tweak questions

[CAT5]

Well...I tried it out and not working yet but I do have a few questions from the instructions. I am using windows 2000, my main drive is E. Ok...here are steps I still unsure:

For the two keys
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\AFD
and, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip
I renamed the paths to \??\Z:\afd.sys and \??\Z:\tcpip.sys respectively.

Copied all these, renamed it to TCP.BAT. Changed drive letter to E. Copied file to my startup folder.

@echo on

copy c:\winnt\System32\DRIVERS\tcpip.sys Z:\
copy c:\winnt\System32\DRIVERS\afd.sys Z:\

net start afd
net start tcpip
net start dhcp

ipconfig

@pause

I then disabled zonealarm and reboot. At this it on reboot it say it copied the two files to Z: ram drive. ON steps two, it say to pull the tcp.bat from startup, edit it, rename it. So is that mean I cut the file from start up folder, paste it on desktop, then edit it, then save it. Then rename it to tcp.cmd then copy to the drive root? So at this point there is no tcp.bat in starup no more right? This is where I am unsure. Is there two files. Tcp.bat in startup and another tcp.cmd in root of drive? Anything I did wrong?

Last but not least.....would this work on XP?

copy the tcp.bat to ur root directory then rename as tcp.cmd. So yes there is two files don't forget to take out the bat file out of the startup foloder. when you have the tcp.cmd loaded in ur startup script.

So I delete the one in starup folder, then copy the same file to the root and rename it and also edit it. At this point there is only one file in the root. Is that what you saying?

yep that's it

So the tcp.bat is used only one time on the first reboot, after that, it's deleted. So in the future when I reboot, there should not be any tcp.bat in the start up right?

no bat just the tcp.cmd in the startup script.

Thanks....will ask you again if I run into problems.
