- GENERAL
- INFORMATION: We have been working with a customer who is having problems
- running the new 3.01 DOS client shells on workstations using
- the Western Digital Ethercard and drivers. We had him try a
- couple of versions of the NIC drivers. The 2.11.3 version
- will loose connection when accessing a drive assigned to a
- false root. The latest 3.05 version had even more problems
- and would not even allow false roots at all. We have
- recommended to our customer to contact Western Digital about
- a fix in their next driver version. In the meantime, he is
- going to an NE1000.
-
- COMMENTS: In speaking with other techs on this subject, we have heard
- problems have also been reported with Gateway Ethernet and
- the 3C501, as well as the Thomas Conrad Arcnet cards.
- Thomas Conrad has a fix for their cards.
