Rather than lastemmseg=XXXXX - try emmexclude=0DC00-0DFFF (or whatever...) to tell WIN386's EMS to avoid your NIC's mem-space. Also! I've seen no one mention a recommended item on the NetWare side... In your SHELL.CFG file, add the line "TASK MODE = 0". This tells NETx.COM to be aware of WIN386's virtual tasks and handle them correctly. SHELL.CFG must be in the default directory when IPX and NET3 are loaded. NOTE: This is documented in the _Supervisor's Reference_ appendix B incorrectly, stating that the default "TASK MODE = 1" is correct for use with WIN386. I once confirmed this is a documentation error with someone at Novell's tech support, and my experience says "TASK MODE = 0" makes WIN386 and NetWare very stable. If you are using NetWare 2.0x, there is an ANET3.OBJ file available on NetWire (CompuServe forum NOVA) that works with WIN386. Good luck with it, brian ____________________________________________________________________________ Brian Meek Novell - 2180 Fortune Dr. San Jose, CA 95131 Internet Mail: brian@novell.COM Phone: (408) 473-8375 CompuServe: 76702,346 FAX: (408) 433-0775
