WINDOWS

= SYMPTOMS =

After you update to Novell Ethernet adapters (for example, NE3200.COM, NE2000.COM, and so on, dated 9-22-94), your Windows for Workgroups system stops responding (hangs).

= CAUSE =

This problem occurs when a terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) program puts the driver into a mode that allows invalid packets into the Ethernet MLID. The system hangs when it attempts to process these packets.

= RESOLUTION =

Update to the Novell Ethernet adapters (for example, NE3200.COM, NE2000.COM, and so on, dated 10-14-94) included in VLMUP1.EXE.

The Novell products discussed here are manufactured by Novell, Inc., a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products’ performance or reliability.
