Hi everyone:

     I desperately need assistance...

     I have a:

        PS/2 Mod 80 as file server
        SFT 2.15 rev a
        Two (2) NE/2's in server
        Thin Coax (RG-58)
        Etherlink II NICs in two workstations


        I followed all the steps in the manual faithfully and have
problems when I bring the system up.  It goes through all the checks
of:

     Mounting Volume SYS
     Checking Bindery
     Checking Queues
     Initializing LAN A
     Initializing LAN B

     .
     .
     .

     :

     I get the ":" prompt and the console hangs.  When I try to log
into the network I can't get passed running NET3.

     I could go on for ever about the different troubleshooting
techniques that I have tried but nothing works.

     Question... Any ideas of why the system would hang after a
seemingly good startup??


     Thanks in advance for *any* assistance.
