The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft TCP/IP-32 for Windows for Workgroups, versions 3.11, 3.11a, 3.11b 
- Microsoft Windows 95 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

After you install Microsoft's TCP/IP-32 stack on your computer running Windows
for Workgroups 3.1x and the NetWare IPXODI real-mode stack, the client can PING
itself, but attempts to PING other IP addresses result in "Request timed out"
messages.

CAUSE
=====

The NetWare client file, NET.CFG, does not contain entries for all of the four
ethernet frame types or the two token-ring frame types.

RESOLUTION
==========

Open the NetWare file, NET.CFG, with a text editor. Under the Link Driver
section heading make sure all four frame types are specified. Make sure the
first frame type listed is the primary frame type you use to connect to NetWare
servers. For example:

- If you have an Ethernet network:

     Link Driver NE2000
        Frame Ethernet_802.2
        Frame Ethernet_802.3
        Frame Ethernet_II
        Frame Ethernet_SNAP
     PORT 320

     INT 5
     MEM D0000

     NetWare DOS Requester
        FIRST NETWORK DRIVE = F

  NOTE: By default Microsoft's TCP/IP-32 stack uses the ETHERNET_II Frame to
  communicate on the network.

-or-

- If you have a Token-ring network:

     Link Driver TOKEN
        Frame Token-ring
        Frame Token-ring_SNAP
     PORT 320

     INT 5
     MEM D0000

     NetWare DOS Requester
        FIRST NETWORK DRIVE = F
