Cannot Run 32-Bit File Access with NE2000 ODI Driver (106140)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11
This article was previously published under Q106140 SYMPTOMS
When you load the Novell NE2000.COM ODI driver and use 32-bit file access
with the real-mode mapper (RMM.D32), you may experience a five- second
delay when loading applications from the Windows GUI interface. (This delay
does not occur when loading MS-DOS-based applications from an MS-DOS
virtual machine [VM].) This may also cause Windows for Workgroups to load
more slowly.
CAUSE
This delay occurs because the NE2000.COM driver is causing RMM.D32 to
generate a time-out, and the time-out value is hard coded to be five
seconds. Once the application loads, it then runs as fast as it should
because it has been stored in cache memory (VCACHE.386).
This problem is in the NE2000.COM MLID and only occurs when IPXODI,
which is needed to access NetWare servers, is loaded.
The NE2000 MLIDs known to cause this problem are from the Novell DOSUP7
client files dated 1/18/93, DOSUP8 client files dated 7/30/93, and
version 1.34 dated 6/3/91.
