We're experiencing "some" problems when windows for workgroups is used
on an Token-Ring Network.

At an random time, on a number of PC's Windows stops working.
	Some users have the c:\> - prompt
	Some users have an EMM386.exe error message
	Others just have a black screen.

When this occurs, more than one PC has this problem. All at the same
time.

The group of PC's that have this problem isn't always the same, for
example :
	At time 1, pc A, pc B and pc C have this problem.
	at time 2, pc b, pc D and pc E have this problem.
	at time 3, pc C, pc F and pc G have this problem.

The PC's are not all in the same workgroup, although some of them are.

The default protocol on all these PC's is IPX/SPX with NetBIOS.

All the Token-Ring adapters are from IBM, the pc's are HP Vectra.

Is there anybody out there who knows about this problem and a possible
solution ??!!

Need more information? Please contact us.
