I have been trying to get IBM's TCP/IP and Microsoft's LAN Manager
(using TCP/IP as the protocol) to work simultaneously - here's
the problem:

Depending on where in the config.sys file I put the command
device=d:\ibmcom\ifndis.sys, only one of the products works
completely.  If I put it between the protocol manager and
network card driver devices, IBM's TCP/IP works, but I get
the error, SYS0053: The network path was not found, when
I try to do a "net use" (LAN Manager).  If I put ifndis.sys above
the LAN Manager section, net use works, but then IBM's TCP/IP
cannot access the network.  In either case, every loads without
any errors.

Sidenote: using netbeui for LAN Manager's protocol allows
everything to work, but unfortunately all the servers (except
the one test server that was setup for me) do not have 
netbeui loaded.

Does anyone know what exactly ifndis.sys does?  And even better,
how to fix my problem?

Thanks,
Dave Reed
