Jeff,
I have a customer with an IBM Thinkpad 760xd with Win95 OSR2 and a
DEINA card.
He downloaded the OSR2 drivers but said it would only let him connect for
a range of about 30 ft. I checked - he is at win95 B, Card is installed
correctly - (we had to make the network ids match), looked at the
lights - power is on, the other two flash. Most of the time he can't
connect to the network. When ;he does connect, it doesn't last long.
Sounds like he is using the regular 3.5 driver on osr2.
He called back and said he installed the old NCR Wavelan driver and
everything is working fine! Don't know where he got the driver - some
floppy - he said it was an old one.
Any comment? Weird, eh?
Gary

Hi Gary,
If he has it working sometimes he definitly has the OSR2 driver.
I haven't got a clue at what is wrong, but would definitley like to
know what driver does work! Is the driver that works a NDIS2 driver?
Is this PC loading anything in the autoexec.bat or config.sys (ie
ENABLER, C&SS, HIMEM???)?

Jeff,
I suspect he is loading an old NDIS2 driver (because it's Old and it's
WaveLAN) but I didn't check the autoexec and config.sys stuff - I know
I should have. Customer is happy and I don't want to call back and
stir thing up again - you know? He said if he had trouble again, he'd
call back.
Just thought I'd run it by you to see if it rang a bell. Not a big deal
at this point. I agree - he was probably confused.
