          TITLE:  GENERATING A WORKSTATION WITH IPX.OBJ
   DOCUMENT ID#:  FYI-M-1902
           DATE:  05APR93
        PRODUCT:  DR MULTIUSER DOS
PRODUCT VERSION:  5.1
     SUPERSEDES:  N/A

        SYMPTOM:  The incorrect IPX will hang the machine when
NETM is typed when normally this would call the IPX into action.

  ISSUE/PROBLEM:   There is a problem with the IPX.OBJ included
in Novell DR Multiuser DOS 5.1.  The computer hangs when NETM is
entered.  This only occurs with newly generated Workstations.     

This problem was first reported with, but not related to, several
new 3-Com cards.   This was only due to the fact that 3-Com has
some of the newest cards available and therefore DR Multiuser DOS
did not have pre-compiled versions of the IPX.COM for them.

       SOLUTION:  Replace the old IPX.OBJ (checksum = 6D9D) with 
the new IPX.OBJ (checksum = B033). The new IPX.OBJ is available
on the support BBS at 408-649-3443 as IPXDRM.ZIP.
