>> I've also got Artisoft cards. I did get NT to recognize them but that's about >> it. Alec, Part of my problem was that NT did recognize the cards as NE2000. The real problem was that they are not NE2000 compatible _unless_ you change them from the default "Artisoft" mode to NE2000 mode in the NRSETUP configuration. Then you will have to change the lowlevel drivers for DOS (dual boot) in the startnet file from NR to NEX000. And don't forget that unlike NR, the NEX000 driver needs memory address, IRQ, and 16-bit specified on the command line! If you have done this already plese disregard >> Were you able to get your NT machine to communicate to with other Win31 >> machines over the Lantastic network? Gus told me that it can't be done >> practically. I hear it is possible to get the Win31 machines to see the NT drives but not the other way around. Gus would know better than I, but I would like to try to get this going. >> Microsoft claims never to have heard of Artisoft/Lantastic and >> Artisoft appears incapable of directly answering the question on whether NT >> can work over Lantastic. This is dis-heartening! I have had good luck over in the Artisoft forum, so far. I am hoping to take up this very issue soon, although this is lower on my list of priorities at the moment<g> Ralph
