SYMPTOMS
When you copy files to a Hewlett-Packard (HP) NetServer computer using a
3Com 3C679 network interface card (NIC) with an 8-bit IBMTOK.SYS driver,
Windows NT 3.5 may stop responding (hang) or the copied files may become
corrupted. The NIC is not on the Windows NT 3.5 Hardware Compatibility List
(HCL).
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, run the EISA Configuration utility for the
computer and set the NIC data path width value to 8 bits. The default value
is 32 bits.
