[comp.dcom.lans] Wollengong WIN/PC with 3Com 3C505

troym@amtfocus.UUCP (Troy Monaghen) (11/18/88)

Several weeks ago an associate of mine posted a message to the net about
problems we had been having using Wollengong's WIN/PC software on our
PC's with 3Com 3C505's in them.  Since then Wollengong has shipped us an
updated version of the software that seems to have cleared up almost all
of the problems.  The only problem left (which really only amounts to an
annoyance because it always recovers from it) is that periodically we get
about a 5-10 second pause followed by the folowing message:

	cmd505: timeout waiting for cmd 0
	et_init: unable to read 3c505's ethernet number
	cmd505: timeout waiting for cmd 0
	3c505.drv: unable to set 3c505 mode

It happens using telnet, ftp and rlogin trying to connect to either an
Apollo or a Motorola System V R3V4 system (the only systems on the LAN
besides the PC's).  Also, it occurs from both an IBM AT and an XT-286,
and I have tried 3 different 3C505's in either of those machines.  We
are using DOS V3.2 and WIN/PC V3.2.1.

Any ideas on what could be causing this?
