I have system commander 2000 and i have a 1 small partition with dos 6.21 and windows 3.11 installed and i want to do a network with my other computers.and the other partition has windows 95b installed. Now with the dos partition i have set the network cards drivers up and it installs normal and restarts and then i will load up and then freeze,dead nothing and i have to restart. I took the command out and tried to load it in a msdos window in windows but it have a sad and said can be loaded in a window.

Here are my config and autoexec files below

AUTOEXEC.bat

C:\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV.EXE /L /X
@ECHO OFF
PROMPT $p$g
PATH C:\WINDOWS;C:\DOS
SET TEMP=C:\DOS
C:\windows\win /3
C:\WINDOWS\net start

DOS=HIGH
FILES=30
LASTDRIVE=Z

STACKS=9,256

THe network card is a PCI NETGEAR Fa 311 card

the proticals that are installed are IPX/SPX and netbeui and the computers name is acer and workgroup is MSHOME

thanx for your help

I've not used System Commander. If you can access the DOS partition when booting from a floppy disk, not using System Cammander, you might try that method.

Looking at your AUTOEXEC.BAT, I see C:\WINDOWS\WIN /3 before C:\WINDOWS\net start. The NET must be started before Windows is started. Without this, you may get a delay of up to a minute which may appear as a freeze. This will normally be followed by a message warning that the NETWORK hasnot started.

You should REM out those 2 lines and boot to DOS. Then type NET and see if you can log on at DOS. Windows won't like that if you start Windows after logging on to the network. But you may determine where your problem is starting.
