Loading NetBEUI or NetPopup in Conventional Memory

ID: Q108801

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11

SYMPTOMS

NET START /NOHI and NET START /NETBEUI do not prevent NetBEUI and POPUP from loading in the upper memory area (UMA). Adding LoadHigh=No to the [Network] section of the SYSTEM.INI file also does not prevent NetBEUI and POPUP from loading in the UMA.

CAUSE

NET START /NOHI prevents device drivers from being loaded in the UMA. For example, NET START /NOHI prevents PROTMAN.DOS, <netcard driver>.DOS, NDISHLP.SYS, and IFSHLP.SYS from loading in the UMA.

Network services, such as the redirector (Redir), NetBEUI, and POPUP, automatically attempt to load into the UMA. There is no way to change this behavior.
