WFWG May Hang if InDOSPolling=Yes with an Intel EtherExpress (94302)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.1
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11
This article was previously published under Q94302 SYMPTOMS
If InDOSPolling=Yes is present in the SYSTEM.INI file and an Intel
EtherExpress 16 network interface card (NIC) is being used in the
machine, Windows for Workgroups may stop responding (hang) for several
minutes or may lock up when trying to access network drives from any
program.
CAUSE
InDOSPolling prevents Windows for Workgroups from running other
applications when memory-resident software has the InDOS flag set.
WORKAROUND
The only workaround for this problem is to remove the line from the
[386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file. Use a text editor (such as
Notepad) to delete the line.
