COMNDIS Command Can Keep Workstations from Hanging (97492)




This article was previously published under Q97492

SUMMARY

COMNDIS.COM is a terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) program that helps keep your workstation from hanging during background network operations by preventing multiple processes from accessing the adapter card while the card is handling an MS-DOS command. COMNDIS.COM is on the LAN Manager 2.2 installation disks in the LANMAN.DOS\NETPROG subdirectory.

COMNDIS.COM should be the last thing you load in AUTOEXEC.BAT, and you must start it before any LAN Manager commands except NETBIND are issued. Start it with a command in AUTOEXEC.BAT that you insert after the NETBIND command (if you are using NETBIND) but before any other LAN Manager commands. Use this form

comndis x

where x is the interrupt number for the LAN Manager adapter. For example, if your card is set at IRQ 5, the command would be:

comndis 5
