Mimi,
        I am running MacIPX 4.1 and MacTCP 2.0.4 with no problems. There
are two 6100/66 DOS machines on campus, both successfully networked. My
colleague reported similar difficulties until he added 16Mb to the DOS
card. 16Mb for the Mac and 16Mb for DOS should be considered a minimum
configuration for this machine.

Regards,
Dan
