[comp.dcom.lans] Prog. available to clear 3COM addr. registers?

David_J_Buerger@cup.portal.com (07/17/87)

I am trying to run both a Novell LAN and a DECNET lan (connecting PCs to
AT server, and PCs to a VAX 8560) over the same 3-COM ethernet hardware and
coax.  Both work fine, but if I've been running one, I need to reboot the
PC/node before logging onto the other.  Apparently both networks create
their own address in the 3-COM network interface card's register.

Has anyone created a program that can clear these registers and reset them
to their defaults from a DOS prompt, without having to reboot the PCs?  If
so, how could I get a copy?  Many thanks.
