Michael,

Some time ago you raised a query to portmaster-users@livingston.com

Well, I also have a 2e (but with ComOS 3.5) that I am trying to get
working using Win 95 dial up networking.

Like you, I can get IP connections working no problem. I can _almost_
get a NOvell login working
(I found a document that said the IPX network address of the Portmaster
should be set to fffffffe, and an assigned address pool set up), but the
login complains about all the network drive assignments it tries to
make.

Did you succeed in setting your dial-in networking working for both IP &
IPX??

How did you do it...??

Any help you can give me would be gratefully accepted!!

Vielen Danke!!
