[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] Xircom Pocket Ethernet Adapter

IJAH400@INDYVAX.IUPUI.EDU ("James A. Harvey") (01/09/91)

Hi.  I'm having trouble using a Xircom Pocket Ethernet Adapter with the
xircom packet driver, version 1.0.  I'm trying to use it with Novell 286
and CUTCP/CUTE.  When Novell comes up it claims it can't find a server.
It works fine with the non-packet driver (IPXLPT1, which uses LPT1 and
IRQ 7).  The command I'm using to start the packet driver specifies mode
zero (LPT1, IRQ7).

I'm just wondering which packet driver you're using -- the one they stole from
me[*] or the one they had custom-written to replace it?

    [*] If you don't know what I'm talking about, email me for details.
