Hmmm ... This is strange ... when we changed to an NT (SMB) Lan,
we tried the TCP/IP stuff with NWCLIENT32, but it just didn't work
with the new Lan! :-(
After that, there was no option but to install the M$ Client software
(on DR-DOS 7.02+), instead (ie. no Novell or PNW stuff). This M$
Client stuff is a derivative of Lan Manager, AFAIK, and it works
fairly well (there are a few quirks and it is a bit of a memory hog).
To install it, run the SETUP program, not NET ... this (ie. SETUP)
did not hang when we used it - perhaps Rich(ard?) doesn't have
enough free conventional memory to run it? Perhaps he has a TSR
conflict or an interrupt conflict? (Just guesswork ...).
