Hello.. I'm having a little problem with a Zenith AT running Novell's
workstation software.. The computer is setup as follows:
Zenith 286 machine (probably a model 248, with a very large case and
backplane (sp?) design where the majority of the motherboard sits on
one card. This machine is pretty old, but has performed
flawlessly for a number of years without any major compatibility
problem)
512K of memory
PC Dos 3.3 with minimal config.sys and autoexec.bat (files=20,
buffers=20, prompt=$p$g, path=, and a packet driver. That's it)
Zenith EGA Card with 256K of memory (Which emulates EGA on a Hercules monitor)
40 Meg MFM drive with controller.
1 1.2 Meg floppy drive.
1 Serial port set at COM1: (IRQ = 4, Base address = 0x3f8h)
1 Parallel port set at LPT1:
Everex Sppedlink PC Ethernet board (8 bit)
IRQ = 2
Base address = 0x360h
High performance mode
No boot prom
64K of RAM
Everex's FTP driver, which is based on Clarkson's packet driver.
IRQ = 2
Packet Int. # = 0x60h
Base address = 0x360h
IPXP (IPX for packet driver)
NET3 (latest version I believe, from Novell)
The NET3 program locks up whenever I try to run it (after running the
packet driver and IPXP). Any ideas?
BTW, CUTCP and NCSA Telnet works just fine with this setup.
Thanks in advance for any help...
