At COMPAQ we have seen this problem. It is not related to Lan Manager. It
is related to the NI5210 NDIS driver from Interlan. We are not sure what
the problem is but drive g: cannot be accessed in DOS when the NI5210
driver is loaded and being used by Lan Manager. We have filed a bug with
Interlan but to date have not received an updated driver. I believe Larry
was using an NI5210 because he did used to work for Interlan.
