Windows NT Hangs During Network File Copy with 3C679

ID: Q128249

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.5
Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.5

SYMPTOMS

When you copy files to a Hewlett-Packard (HP) NetServer computer using a 3Com 3C679 network interface card (NIC) with an 8-bit IBMTOK.SYS driver, Windows NT 3.5 may stop responding (hang) or the copied files may become corrupted. The NIC is not on the Windows NT 3.5 Hardware Compatibility List (HCL).

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, run the EISA Configuration utility for the computer and set the NIC data path width value to 8 bits. The default value is 32 bits.
