The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5 and 3.51
  • Microsoft MS-DOS Client 3.0

SUMMARY

When you use the MS-DOS client 3.0 with the Cogent EM110 PCI network card, TCPIP, NWLINK or NetBEUI does not work. However, the network interface card (NIC) works fine with Windows NT.

MORE INFORMATION

The Drvlib (currently Windows NT 3.51) does not have a driver for the Cogent EM110 PCI network card. The one off the distribution disk that was shipped with the Lan card must be used for the MS-DOS client. When using the three protocols listed above, you will see the following symptoms: 

   NetBEUI  -  Binds and loads, but is not be able to connect to anyone

   NWLink   -  Same symptoms as NetBEUI

   TCPIP    -  Hangs when loading TCPTSR.EXE.

WORKAROUND

Cogent Tech support has a new NDIS2 driver on their BBS and CompuServe forum (GO Cogent) that fixes this problem with their NDIS2 driver.
