MORE INFORMATION

XMSNET.COM or EMSNETX.COM and Windows 3.0

If you encounter problems while using Novell NetWare's XMSNETx.COM or EMSNETx.COM in conjunction with Microsoft Windows version 3.0 or 3.0a, try using the NETx.COM instead. If the symptoms disappear after this change is made, please report the problem to Novell through the regular support channels or by calling Novell.

XMSNET.COM or EMSNETX.COM and Windows 3.1

It has been reported that when you run under Microsoft Windows 3.1, the XMSNETx.COM shell works fine in all modes. However, XMSNETx.COM can cause

Out of Memory

errors with Windows 3.1 after multiple Windows sessions. After you enter and exit Windows 3.1 three or more times with XMSNETx.COM loaded, the errors appear and Windows cannot run until you reboot the system. To prevent this problem, use NETx.COM instead of XMSNETx.com.

MSNETx.COM is NOT supported with Windows 3.1 in 386 enhanced mode. These Novell XMSNETx.COM and EMSNETx.COM drivers have been updated for Windows 3.1, and should be available from your local Novell NetWare dealer.
