I'm trying to run it in a DESQview window under DESQview v2.26 and MS-DOS v4.01. Additionally, I'm trying to run a 3270 emulation program (Attachmate Extra! v1.41) in another window. Doing this seems to work for a while, but sometimes things in the PC/TCP window just die. It seems to happen most often when I'm using FTP. My PC doesn't freeze--pressing will still give me the DESQview window--but I am essentially locked out from doing anything in the PC/TCP window. I can close the window and reopen it, but my next TN3270, PING, FTP, etc., will be greeted with a message complaining about the TCP/IP kernel being reentered. The only solution (such as it is) that I've been able to find is to shut down all of my DESQview windows, quit DESQview, and press CTRL-ALT-DEL. I've tried entering INET UNLOAD and then reloading the kernel--the former says that it works, but when I try to load the latter it says that it's already been loaded. I'm loading the kernet (ETHDRV.EXE) in my AUTOEXEC.BAT before I enter DESQview. I'd be interested in hearing about anything that you folks have found successful in coaxing PC/TCP to run properly under DESQview. As it is, it looks like I'm not going to be able to run it there. Thank you for any advice/hints that you are able to offer!
