Derek, Could it be a heat problem? In my 701 I find that 2 of my 3 PCMCIA cards overheat after a certain time - particularly if I use both slots, and also dependent on which card is in which slot. My Ethernet card fails after about 1 hour in the lower slot (hot) or 2 hours in the upper slot (warm). My SCSI card fails after about 4 hours. Failure in both cases is manifested by the cards working 'Slowly', or in the Ethernet card's case, NetBEUI (Microsoft networking) failing before TCP/IP. I presume the latter is more delay- and error-resistant. In both cases it took me ages to link heat to my problems - the problems disappeared as soon as the cards had cooled down (by removing them for 5 minutes). Maybe that helps, Andrew. ---------- From: Derek V. Chan[SMTP:chan4@husc.harvard.edu] Sent: Mittwoch, 20.

I have a desktop with an EtherExpress Pro/10+ running NT. I'm trying to share files and folders with a Thinkpad 750C running Windows 95. They are hooked into a Linksys 5 port workgroup hub. Okay...the computers can see each other, but after a while, the network will "hang". I used tohave NT installed on the Thinkpad also, and when it hung, I'd get "Dr. Watson" on the thinkpad complaining about some service error. So, I though it was a resource conflict, and hence, I tried installing 95 with its PnP support. Well..unfortunately, it's still hanging, and I have NO idea what is the problem. It takes for instance 4 minutes to copy a 2.5 Mb file across the network... Does anyone know anything about this IBM Ethernet PC Card? I used to use it some time ago, andit seemed to work fine. Could it be the hub? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks... __ Derek V. Chan chan4@fas.harvard.edu dvchan@ibm.net Notice: dchan@cybercom.net is no longer active.
