'taint one thing, 'tis another!  Got that part solved - finally - by
changing from Netbios over TCP/IP to straight Netbios protocol (don't
really understand why it caused the error it did, tho) and on to the
next problem.  I inherited several ne2000 clones - COMPEX brand, NSC
chip set, etc - that work fine under DOS but hang the machine solid
booting OS/2.  I don't even get to the white square in the upper left
point with these in the system.  I understand about killing the
sniffer and so forth, but I don't even get far enough for this to work. 
Do you remember any of the discussion that went on here a year or so
back about boot hangs with ne2000 cards?  I can't dredge up anything but
I thought there were some work-arounds.  Cards were free (now I know
why) and I'm just messing around with some multiple station lash-ups,
but I would sure rather get these working than shell out even the small
amount to by any more cards!
If the COMPEX name rings a bell with anyone, I would appreciate any
info.  I've tried every combo I can think of but haven't been able to
find the supposed Inet source for drivers and info.
