SYMPTOMS
========
The 3COM 3+Share network redirector NB.COM version 1.6 causes the network to
stop when you upgrade the file MSREDIR.EXE with REDIR.2X_ supplied with the
MS-DOS 5 Upgrade or the MS-DOS 6 Supplemental Disks.
CAUSE
=====
According to page 22 of the MS-DOS 5 Upgrade "Getting Started" manual and the
NETWORKS.TXT file supplied with MS-DOS 6 Upgrade and MS-DOS 6.2 Upgrade, 3COM
3+Share network requires an updated redirector, REDIR.2X_, that comes with the
MS-DOS 5 Upgrade. This file is also available in the MS-DOS 6 Supplemental
Disks, and the MS-DOS 6.2 Supplemental Disks.
Because 3COM 3+Share NB.COM needs to use the same version as MSREDIR.EXE,
attempting to use the expanded REDIR.2X_ with NB.COM causes the network to stop.
WORKAROUND
==========
Obtain an updated NB.COM from 3COM, or update your 3+Share network software.
Contact 3COM for more information.
