When you start your computer, your computer may stop responding (hang) or
pause for from 45 seconds to 1.5 minutes after the NET START command in the
Autoexec.bat file is processed.
CAUSE
This problem can occur if a real-mode protocol is installed and you are
using the NDIS2 version of the network adapter driver (Ibmtok.dos) for an
IBM Token Ring network adapter.
The Ibmtok.dos driver installed by default in Windows 95 does not function
correctly.
RESOLUTION
Install the updated IBM Token Ring adapter driver. To do so, follow these
steps:
- In Control Panel, double-click the Network icon.
- Click Add, click Adapter, and then click Add.
- Click Have Disk.
- In the Copy Manufacturer's Files From box, enter the following line,
and then click OK
<drive>:\drivers\network\ibm
NOTE: There may be two installed network adapters after you perform these
steps. Remove either adapter from the list of adapters. Both adapters refer
to the same driver.

Obtain the A464.exe file from the Microsoft FTP site, double-click the
A464.exe file to extract the files it contains, and then follow the
steps above. In step 4, replace "<drive>:\drivers\network\ibm" with the
folder containing the files you downloaded and extracted.
