SYMPTOMS
The following error is received soon after the password is entered on a remote boot diskless workstation using a 3COM ETHERLINKIII network adapter:

NetBIOS AddName Failure.



CAUSE
The NDIS2 driver, ELNK3.DOS, which is on the server compact disc, does not work with newer 3COM ETHERLINK III network interface cards, although it successfully binds with the protocol stack.

Information on ELNK3.DOS driver that does not work:

  ELNK3.DOS 05/26/95  10:57a   size: 13,014



RESOLUTION
Obtain a more recent driver from 3COM. On the remote boot server, replace \RPL\BBLOCK\NDIS\ELNK3.DOS with the more recent driver.

Information on driver that does work:

  ELNK3.DOS 09/15/95  10:51a   size: 17,901
