He is trying to load LAT or DECnet to run VT320. Can't get VT320 to connect to
anything.
Any suggestions?

The DE450 Windows 95 drivers (DC21X4.SYS or DE450.SYS) most certainly should handle enabling/disabling of multicast addresses. Post a note in NOTED::ETHERWORKS if you believe this problem follows the DE450. /l | |||||

Check out the parameters for the network adapter... is there a limit to the number of multicasts that can be enabled? This is the typical problem when that error message is reported. The other is a hardware problem. Jeff | |||||

>>Check out the parameters for the network adapter... is there a limit to >>the number of multicasts that can be enabled? This is the typical problem >>when that error message is reported. In perfect filtering mode, the DE450 should handle no less than 14 multicast addresses. In hashing mode, it can support an unlimited number of multicast addresses. However, I believe NDIS itself limits the multicast address table to something like 32 addresses. - Larry | |||||

Right, but someone may have lowered the default value in NDIS. jeff | |||||

>>Right, but someone may have lowered the default value in NDIS. I'd be curious to know how. There might be a Registry keyword to tell NDIS to lower the multicast address table list per interface, but I don't know of one. If anyone knows of this keyword (name, type, arguments), please post a note here. - Larry | |||||
