My problem was solved by:
I went to vnetbios.vxd & vmm32.vxd in the "slave" computer on my home network.
I copied the two files to floppy disk, deleted my 2 files, then installed the 2
Copied files to my SYSTEM ? then rebooted ? NO CHANGE
For some STRANGE unknown reason I opened vxdnetbios.vxd with WordPad
& I found a message in it !?
(START QUOTE) ?This application requires a larger buffer for transferring information over the network. You can increase the buffer size by modifyingthe NetHeapSize setting in your SYSTEM.INI file.
Include or modify the following setting in the [386Enh] section of your SYSTEM.INI file: NetHeapSize=%s
If the NetHeapSize value is still too low, this message will appear again, suggesting a newvalue for you to try. This program is causing your system to lock up. Do you want to end it?? (END QUOTE)
So I followed this advise & my problem disappeared!!!!
I wonder what program placed this solution in the file?????
