hi Mimi!
        one of the reasons why you may experience some problems, can be for the
fact that macODI has a hard time dealing with your ethernet connections, the
way I remember, you can only have a network working at a time in each
enviroment, for example, have macTCP work with a lan or NT server, or shut the
connection to it from the mac and plug with macODI in windows, using IPX as a
protocol for windows was an idea that we had... unfortunately I am no
longer able to experiment with this, but it is worth a shot. have IPX in windows
enviroment, and macTCP in the mac OS, heck they may even be able to share the
same IP number... the best network to try this on is Netware 4 plus.
 we had pathworks at the time.. and are now trying to upgrade to NT.

hi there!
        we had to buy an extra 8meg simms for the ones we have, it just seem
appropriate.. however I was able to run WordPerfect office from an NT server on
them with the share memory, again if you have connections in the mac side and
in the windows side they cannot interact together at the same time... that may
be what's causing your freeze.

hope that helps or gives new Ideas
