I am trying to run NCSA Telnet on a 386 connected to our network through
a 3Com Ethernet board. It works outside, but not inside Windows 3. That
is, inside Windows, the hardware seems no to be recognized, since I can
not establish a connection to the network. Once I get out of Win 3, and
after trying to connect from Win3, I cannot connect now from DOS, suggesting
that Win3 has touched some hardware parameters. In fact, after this, the
board will not work even after a Ctrl-alt-del boot, I need a hardware reset
to be able to use the board again from DOS.

This situation hold if I load the drivers before loading Win3 (as recommended)
or if I load them while in the Win3 environment.

Thanks for any help or hint.

Raul
