Can any kind soul tell me (or point me in the right direction) how
to set up a peer-to-peer network between two machines running
Windoze 3.11.

I have the basic hardware (3Com EtherLink II cards, coax, terminators, PCs
etc.) but it refuses to work.

I have tried most of the obvious things (latest drivers, diagnostic s/w from
3Com [which works OK]) some less obvious things (Windows 95, other DMA
channels, other interrupts etc.) all to no avail.

Neither machine will recognise the presence of the other. The only clue(s)
I have are that BOOTLOG.TXT reports that NETAPI.DLL failed during startup
and that both machines run exceeding slowly at startup.

Many TIA to whoever can solve this.
