I have inherited the task of trying to fix an office network using a LAN called D-LINK and an OS by the name of LANSmart. I need the test diskette for this system. It contains a program called: TESTNET.EXE, or something like that which is missing. I am having a lot of trouble making (Mutli-user) WordPerfect 5.0 run properly with it. I'm experiencing your typical intermittent crashes with wp50, usually while saving or printing a file. Often it seems that someone is starting up wp50 at about the same time my PC hangs. I would like to try and identify whether the problem(s) is with the LAN itself, or with wp50 specifically. I do know that this LAN version of wp50 is a very early one, and that WordPerfect Corp. has a dubious track record for bugs in early releases. WordPerfect does not support the network (I identify it as 'Other' on startup), and I have tried talking to the bozos that sold us the LAN, but they're no help. Even the manuals themselves only list a company called 'Datex/Localnet' with no accompanying address much less a phone no. Any help with the above would be greatly appreciated. -- Val Bercovici Voice: (613) 738-1338 ext 3026 P.O.
