This article was previously published under Q90918 SYMPTOMS
When using the Proteon P-1392 or P-1390 ProNET network cards with Microsoft
Windows or Windows for Workgroups, MS-DOS-based applications loaded from a
network drive may cause the machine to stop responding (hang).
CAUSE
Proteon technical support has confirmed that MS-DOS-based applications
may not run properly in an MS-DOS window when you use the P-1392 or
P-1390 ProNET Proteon network cards with Windows 3.0, 3.0a, or 3.1.
The symptoms occur when the Proteon card is set for bus mastering for a
workstation that is not capable of bus mastering. In this case, the
Proteon card becomes the bus master and takes over all I/O transfers.
WORKAROUND
Set the DMA channel from 5 to 0 on the Proteon card, which changes
from a bus master to a bus slave.
