[comp.protocols.nfs] Intel Inboard and PC-NFS: A Match Made in Network Hell?

hhg1@GTE.COM (Hallett German) (11/22/89)

A user's PC-NFS was working fine until they installed  an INTEL Inboard.
Although it initially worked, it has been troublesome since.

It appears to take forever on the NET YPSET and says that x is not a YP
server on domain yyy. No other PC_NFS machine has it. A colleague says
that it appears that the drivers higher than the IP level are not
working.

I originally thought Interrupt contention but it appears to be something
else like memory conflict.

Has anyone else had this problem? I know it is not the network and the
connection to the terminal server is ok. Any and all suggestions would
be welcomed.

Is this Inboard in an XT or an AT?  I have one in my old XT and run
PC-NFS with no trouble.  In fact, I even load some of the drivers in
high RAM using Quarterdeck's QEMM386 memory manager.  I set up the 3Com
3C503 Ethernet card for IRQ2.  The only problem I've run into is that
Telnet won't run within Desqview (but Mail will...go figure).
