SUMMARY
=======
If your machine hangs while loading the Novell IPX file when the EMM386.EXE
driver is being used, but loads correctly when EMM386.EXE is not used, a memory
conflict with the network card is likely causing the problem.
MORE INFORMATION
================
To correct this conflict, exclude the range where the network card is located by
using the X= parameter with EMM386.EXE. For example, use the following line in
the CONFIG.SYS file located in the root directory of the boot drive:
DEVICE=EMM386.EXE X=yyyy-zzzz (RAM) (NOEMS)
where yyyy-zzzz signifies the address range (in hexadecimal) where the network
card is located. Refer to the network card manuals to determine this area for
your machine.
