Get the latest, greatest dis_pkt (version 1.06), it'll cure the problem 
- the following should help:

From: jrd@cc.usu.edu
Subject: NDIS Packet Driver
Date: 2 Apr 91 03:23:51 GMT

	An updated version of FTP Software Inc's DIS_PKT.ASM program, which
provides a Packet Driver interface on top of the NDIS packet muxer, is 
available for test purposes only as file DIS_PKT.TXT (an archive, zip'd
and then uuencoded) from machine netlab.usu.edu, in directories
	[anonymous.netwatch]	and 	[anonymous.novell]
This is a VMS VAX so please use both brackets and dots in when cd-ing.
	This version, 1.06, supports Novell IPX (BYU Pkt Drvr version),
FTP's TCP/IP, Netwatch, and the Clarkson distribution suite of Pkt Drvr
programs, along side NDIS stuff. Tested over a WD8003E board, for what
that's worth. The only side effect I've seen these past few days is a
strange pause to some terminal echos, lasting a couple of seconds.
	The program is far from being finished, hence the cavaet about
for testing purposes only.
	Joe D.
