I have just increased the ram on the server from 16 megs to 32 megs
and I'm getting the same problem now, but when I use 16 megs there is no 
problem.
I use the 486DX100 and a Adeptec VLB 2842A SCSI.
I have put the following, Set Auto regester memory above 16 megabytes=off
load disk driver
register memory 1000000 1000000  
The Server finds the memory, but then I get the problem of incomplete
packets. :)
Also says
Ne2000-NW-200 1-Board 1: 
The Boards DMA did not complete the write
then I get
IPX recieved an incomplete packet from number xxxxxxxx-xxxxx
142 incomplete packets recieved
I have increased the recieve buffers to 200 and it seems to be worse
as I cant logon to the server anymore.
I have reduced the memory back to 16 megs.
Thanks Frank I await your comands 8)
Cheers from down under.
HaRrY.
