---------------------------------------------------------------------

This article contains information about using Windows for Workgroups with a
third-party product that has not been tested and is not supported by
Microsoft.

SUMMARY
=======
To use the GVC 16-bit Ethernet cards with Windows for Workgroups version
3.11, you may need to upgrade to latest GVC NDIS 2.0 driver, which is dated
11/23/93.
If you are using a previously released driver, you may experience various
problems, including inability to see other machines across the network in
Windows for Workgroups even though you can see them from the MS-DOS command
prompt.

MORE INFORMATION
================
GVC has several NIC2000 models and one NIC2003 model that can use its new
NDIS driver in Windows. If you are using Windows for Workgroups 3.10, GVC
recommends using the NE2000 compatible driver; however, this driver does
not work with Windows for Workgroups 3.11. The new GVC driver handles
issues with the upper memory block (UMB) that have surfaced since the
release of MS-DOS 6.0 and Windows for Workgroups 3.11.
You can downloaded the new driver from the GVC bulletin board service at
(201) 579-2380. The name of the driver is NIC2000.DOS and is dated
11/23/93.

The GVC Ethernet Netcard is manufactured by GVC, a vendor independent of
Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these
products' performance or reliability.
