- ifndis.sys is responsible for interfacing TCP/IP stack to NDIS
- MAC drivers (and PROTMAN).
- MS LAN Mgr version 2.1 (?) has its own TCP/IP stack. You can't
- have two TCP/IP stacks to be bound to the same adapter.
- As you said it yourself, if LAN Manager uses netbeui stack
- (instead of TCP/IP) everything works.
