- I'm sure Thomas was trying to be helpful but these two answers are not
- at all related to the problem sam4628 was having. He didn't say anything
- about running PC-NFS and these suggestions would only be helpful if he
- was trying to run PC-NFS in addition to another program that uses the
- packet driver, like WinQVT/Net or NCSA telnet.
-
- I think you should first check if you have the line:
-
- EMMExclude=b000-bxxx where bxxx is the last memory location used by your
- network card
-
- in you SYSTEM.INI file.
-
- Another thing you could is using the program WINPKT.COM in addition to
- your normal packet driver. This program makes sure the program that is
- supposed to receive the packet is in memory before it calls it's packet
- receiving subroutine. WINPKT.COM is generally available on the same
- machines as the packet drivers.
