How do I get IBMTOKEN to work under DOS 4.00??? If I boot the same machine with DOS 3.3, it all works fine, so I'm assuming its the OS that's the problem. IBMTOKEN tells me that the card is already in use, and to reboot the computer. If I use a virginal CONFIG.SYS, and run nothing before IBMTOKEN in AUTOEXEC.BAT - I still get the prob under 4.00. Thanks for any help! Declan

You have to load the LAN Support Programs from CONFIG.SYS before loading IBMTOKEN. Those programs are available from IBM. marc ===================================================================== Marc Levesque Telephone: (506) 453-4573 Computing Services PO Box 4400 Netnorth/Bitnet: MARC@UNB.CA University of New Brunswick Fredericton, NB Canada E3A 5A3

Assuming that you have IBM Token-Ring Adapters and version 1.1 of the Network Support Programs (DXM?0MOD.SYS), check for the following: If you are using the Network Support Program DXMT0MOD.SYS, make sure that the first parameter is O=N (that is the letter "o"). This prevents DXMT0MOD.SYS from opening the adapter which would cause the error message. Otherwise, make sure that you load IBMTOKEN before NetBios or IPX.COM in your AUTOEXEC.BAT. These are the two most common errors I've come accross. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Medici/SysProg3 * Rutgers University/CCIS * medici@elbereth.rutgers.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
