I found it and rebuilt the folder.

Warp 4 with fixpack 14 plus all the MPTS fixes from a recent WarpUp CD.

>Fixes what problem?

I get a frequent (but not always) Sys 0054 error (System busy or out of
resources) when I try to access a shared drive on another computer (or
access a drive on this computer). This computer has a Linksys LNE100 TX
NIC.

Two other computers, a laptop with a Linksys PCMPC100, using drivers you
got for me, and a Pentium with a 3Com 3C905-TX, talk to each other without
difficulty. It is just the one desktop with the LNE100 that gives the
periodic error messages.

At this point I have done the Selective Install for Networking process
again, but it didn't help anything. So I have ordered another 3Com 3c905
card from Computer Surplus Outlet. The OS/2 drivers from the 3Com web site
work fine.

I guess my troubleshooting techniques are often limited to uninstalling
and reinstalling software. What are the caveats for redoing Selective
Intall for Networking?
