SYMPTOMS
========

A Windows NT client computer using a NetFlex-2 ENET-TR network adapter and the
network adapter driver in Compaq SSD 1.15 (and greater) is not able to connect
to a remote DECNet node across a router. The Windows NT client computer is
running DEC Pathworks.


RESOLUTION

1. Note the network configuration of your DEC Pathworks network software. To do
  this, select DEC Pathworks and click Configure in Control Panel Network.

2. Remove DEC Pathworks from the Installed Network Software list in Control
  Panel Network.

3. Replace the following NetFlex driver files with the files in Compaq SSD
  1.14:

  %SystemRoot%\system32\netflx.dll
  %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\netflx.bin
  %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\netflx.sys

4. Shut down and restart Windows NT.

5. Reinstall the DEC Pathworks network software in Control Panel Network.
