SYMPTOMS
========

When you run Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 on a Dell 100 mHz Pentium with
a Madge Token Ring network card, an IBM Token Ring 16/4 network card, and an
Sound Blaster card, the computer stops responding (hangs) after the sound card
driver loads and the network is started.

CAUSE

This problem occurs when you Sound Blaster card is configured to use the same
address as the Token Ring card. The default port address for the Token Ring card
is A220.

RESOLUTION
