- I have had exactly the same problem with the MS TCP/IP for LAN Manager (both
- the add-on for LM 2.2 and the LM 2.2b upgrade, both from ftp.microsoft.com).
-
- Booting out of Windows (3.1) caused trashed files which eventually stopped
- Windows altogether and necessitated re-loading the system. This turned out
- to be a good (but unproductive) opportunity to experiment with various
- combinations, none of which worked.
-
- Our printers, too, are accessed through LANMan servers (running HP's
- LM/X on various HP machines, if you didn't guess). I didn't have any of
- the HP NS/ARPA stuff loaded because this is what I was trying to live
- without.
-
- BTW, with this MS LANMan and TCP/IP loaded, the best I could get was a
- lousy 440KB of base memory and this may have contributed to the problem.
- I gave up and went back to LANMan 2.1 and the HP NS/ARPA until I can get
- the WFW 3.11 upgrade for Win 3.1 (although this may be premature by the
- sound of it).
