Can anyone help with the following problem?

We run NetWare 2.15C on a 386 server. Until recently all our network cards 
were G/Net 8-bit. Now in the process of upgrading to ethernet cards which
are IMC 8-bit in workstations and 16-bit in the server. Nothing strange about 
any of that.

We have two segments of G/Net and one of ethernet at the moment due to a delay
in supply of IMC cards. (We need IMC to run on 75ohm coax).

On any workstation with an IMC card I cannot (a) change Default Account
Balance/Restrictions or (b) Account Restrictions for any user (within SYSCON).
I get a Please Wait which times out to Network Error on Server xxxxx..Abort,
Retry?

Sometimes a workstation running ethernet will come up with the network error,
but ONLY if sitting logged in at the DOS prompt. A workstation running
something - say fconsole - will go forever on stats or connect information.

OK on a workstation running G/Net. No other functions are a problem.

Is there something wrong in my workstation shell? Any other ideas?
