I have a TI Travelmate 5100 Laptop. After I install the TCP/IP stack for WFW 3.11, I type c:\win and windows gets to the startup screen and then freezes. I have reinstalled dos and windows twice and everything works fine until this stack is installed. The computer is running on a minimal configuration without any drivers loaded except for the Network PCMCIA card which is a 3com Megahertz. Anyone know what the problem is?
