Problem

Symptoms: The customer has new Novell NE2000 network cards which don't seem to be working with WP 5.1. When the customer starts WP with the /SA startup option, it works fine. If the customer starts WP any other way, it locks. This does not happen on similar computers with different network cards. Solutions: The customer updated the IPX and NETx files and changed the IRQ on the card from IRQ 4 to IRQ 3. IRQ 4 is commonly used by COM1. This corrected the problem.
