The following started happening on a 386-33 mhz PC this afternoon.  Prior to
that we were able to log onto the network using MSDOS 5.0

With @echo off as the first line of the autoexec.bat file
    NET5.COM was able to attach to a server but a login command
    in the autoexec.bat file fails with 'error sending on the network,
abort/retry'

With   echo off   as the first line of the autoexec.bat file,

   NET5.COM was unable to find a server.

With the echo off line REMarked out in the first line of the autoexec.bat,
everything works fine.
We tried inserting pauses after loading IPX and after NET5 but still got the
above results.    We are on 2.15c netware using SMC arcnet adaptors.

Any clues as to what might be going on here would be greatly appreciated.
