That sounds like something is wrong with your NETWORK STACK, the protocols are
not configured correctly. Can you list how they are defined in MPTS? YOu coudl
try removing them and adding them again, but make SURE you get the LEVEL
correct for NETBIOS and NETBIOS over TCP/IP, they CANNOT be the same...

Yes, whatever BIOS is supporting your IDE drives probably can not handle more
than 64GB. I had to upgrade my BBS Motherboard BIOS to support more than 32GB
of IDE...

It all comes down to HOW you start things up. I do NOT use the STARTUP Folder,
I start everything using STARTUP.CMD and a little utility called SLEEP2, that
allows me to set pauses of 1 to nn seconds between items in the file.

I use CRON214.ZIP to fire off these types of things. Check Hobbes. Its quite
neat because it understands networks and can sync events between machines.
