I'm dying here folks. I have WFW3.11 on a P133 with 24MB's RAM. I installed TCP/IP-32 3.11b, and now all I get is "Windows Setup caused a General Protection Fault at module KRNL386.exe...". I ran scandisk and the hard drive is fine. I reinstalled Windows, same prob, I reformatted, then reinstalled, and the same problem. I'm stuck here folks. Anyone have a suggestion?
Shawn, Here is one way you can get tcp/ip to work. What you need to know is that the tcp/ip driver you have been attempting to install probably needs to be run in an empty folder where it will expand into two files. You could do what I did and copy these onto two floppies (I like having them handy). If you can get it onto floppies follow these paths; click on Main, Settings, Windows Setup, Options, Change Network Settings, Drivers, Add Protocol, Unlisted or Updated Protocol. A screen will pop up and ask you where to find the network driver disk. By default it will probably show a:\ Simply insert floppy 1 and press enter. You will be prompted when it is time to insert disk 2. That's all there is to it. You should reboot the computer next and away you go!! good luck.
