After you install Windows for Workgroups for use with the Proteon 1390 or 1392

  DRIVERNAME= setting reads as follows

  -or-

        DRIVERNAME=NDIS39XR$

  change it to read

  DRIVERNAME=NDI39XR$

2. If you made changes to PROTOCOL.INI, save them and restart your computer.

NOTE: If you change your network settings from Control Panel, you must edit
PROTOCOL.INI again to prevent the error from occurring.
