I've seen several massages about problems with pktd.sys and thought I would ask as well. I recently tried to update both my 3C503 driver and the pc-nfs pktd.sys files. The 3C503 driver works find but the pktd.sys (from the clarkson compat update) gives the "Bad or Missing con" message. Could someone post the fix for this??

I'm also having trouble with the "pktd.sys" driver from the Clarkson compat kit. I've tried both the "compat.zip" version and the "compat.tar.Z" versions. When I unzip the zipped version (on the PC) then look at the executable code using the Norton Commander filescan, it looks as though either a) a text file partially overwrote the driver, or b) the text is supposed to be in the driver, but linefeeds got translated into double linefeeds at some point, hence hashing the code as well. The situation is similar with the tarred version (uncompressed and untarred on a UNIX host, then binary transferred to the PC). Could an bad CR/LF translation somewhere along the transmission of the originals be the culprit? Could that be fixed? Meanwhile, could someone mail me a (uuencoded) working version of pktd.sys?

Because of trouble I was having with pktd.sys, I compiled & posted a copy here approximately 2 weeks ago. email requests (if Geoff doesn't fix & ftp to clarkson first) if your news has expired my posting containing pktd.sys. More than five requests will result in my posting it here. leoh@hdw.csd.harris.com Leo Hinds (305)973-5229 Gfx ... gfx ... :-) whfg orpnhfr V "ebg"grq zl fvtangher svyr lbh guvax V nz n creireg ?!!!!!!? ... znlor arkg gvzr
