Problem Description:  

    PC-NFS does only one gethostbyaddr call when starting network.  Responses 
    to RARP broadcast can cause PC to miss reply to gethostbyaddr when using 
    RARP.  The new NET.EXE, included in this patch, retries gethostbyaddr
    three times. 

Patch Installation Instructions: 

   This patch consists of one file:  NET.EXE.  On the system where
   PC-NFS is installed save the existing NET.EXE file and replace 
   it with the new NET.EXE file.

   Select the drive where PC-NFS is installed.

        C:                              

   Save the original NET.EXE file.

        COPY \NFS\NET.EXE \NFS\NET.FCS

   Install the new NET.EXE file in the NFS directory.

        COPY A:\NET.EXE \NFS\NET.EXE  

   All drive letter and directory name references are PC-NFS defaults.   
   If you have installed PC-NFS or the patch file on a different drive
   or in a different directory substitute your drive and directory names
   in the example commands.
