- Apologies if this is obvious to everyone else but I wasted time on this:
-
- The new 3c503 cards (the 16-bit ones with the TP socket on the back in
- particular) cause some PC configurations to hang the moment they actually
- try to access the Ethernet. I cleared this in PC-NFS 4.0a by enabling shared
- memory option 4. I have yet to convince myself WHY this works and that it is
- not doing terrible things elsewhere but you might like to consider it if you
- have similar problems.
