Has anybody been able to run Sun PCNFS (using packet drivers) with other software using packet drivers. Using pktstat, it appears that pktd.sys for PCNFS is 'snaffling' all incoming packets (using int 0x60) and not allowing packets to be passed onto other applications with higher interrupts. If NFS is not started the other application can run, but after NFS is started the other application doesn't get any packets! I am using PCNFS (3.5), pktd.sys (3.5), and WD8003E packet driver (9.0) The other appliaction is a windows application: wnqvtnet Any advice would be appreciated.

The packet driver will only let one program at a time receive TCP/IP packets because apparently it has no way of knowing which program wanted which packets. I don't know why this is the case -- I know very little about how packet stuff works. Chuck -- Charles H.
