Please HELP I can successfuly connect Nascar over IPX thru Win95, but not when I shutdown to Dos. I currently load: LSL.COM CPQNF3.COM ( Compaq Driver ) IPXODI Then Load Game I "THINK" the prob may be in my NET.CFG file. It reads Link Driver CPQNF3 Frame Ethernet_802.3 Is this Correct ????? If you can Help or if you can point me in the right direction (ie.. Newsgroup or Web Page) PLEASE !!! Send e-mail with the info. Thanks in Advance. David W.

Well not sure this will help, but I use the following: lsl pciodi ipxodi I also went in and added the number of the card for the Ether ID in the Net.cfg file. This was needed if there was more than one card of the same type. I have included the net.cfg below. Good luck. LINK DRIVER PCIODI #**************************************************************************** # Keyword 'ETHERID' is only required if more than one 8029 adapters existed. #**************************************************************************** # ETHERID 00A1020305DF # NODE ADDRESS 00A10203044D # Frame Ethernet_II Frame Ethernet_802.3 EtherID = 004f4901164f # Protocol IPX 0 Ethernet_802.3

If you can find an IPX.COM driver for your ethernet card, use it. It takes less RAM and can be easier to configure. However, here is my configuration for running the ODI stack with a NE2000 compatible card at port 300 and IRQ 12. If your LAN cards uses memory above 640K, do not load EMM386 in your config.sys as a test. You can place an exclude memory option (X=D000-DFFF for example) in the EMM386 command after everything tests out OK.
