Introduction
------------

When you use the Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 NE2000.386
driver with a Novell NE/2 network interface card (NIC), your
system may stop responding (hang) when you try to start Windows
for Workgroups.

The WG0991 disk included with this Application Note contains an
updated NE2000.386 driver to correct this problem.

To install the updated NE2000.386 file
--------------------------------------

1. Quit Windows for Workgroups.

2. Make a backup copy of the currently installed NE2000.386 file by
   typing the following at the MS-DOS command prompt and then pressing
   ENTER

      ren <drive>:<path>\ne2000.386 ne2000.old

   where <drive>:<path> is the location of your Windows SYSTEM
   subdirectory.

   For example, if your Windows directory is called WINDOWS and is on
   drive C, type the following at the MS-DOS command prompt and then
   press ENTER:

      ren c:\windows\system\ne2000.386 ne2000.old

3. Insert the enclosed WG0991 disk in the appropriate floppy disk
   drive.

4. To copy the file to the Windows SYSTEM subdirectory, type the
   following at the MS-DOS command prompt and then press ENTER

      copy <drive>:\ne2000.386 <destination>

   where <drive> is the floppy disk drive containing the WG0991 disk
   and <destination> is the drive and directory of your Windows SYSTEM
   subdirectory.

   For example, if the WG0991 disk is in drive A and your Windows
   directory is called WINDOWS and is on drive C, type the following
   at the MS-DOS command prompt and then press ENTER:

      copy a:\ne2000.386 c:\windows\system
