Hi,

I'm fairly sure I've got a BDE incompatibility problem.

Are there any known issues related to using the BDE on IBM 300GL
(Pentium 200MMX 32MB RAM) Intranetware clients (v2.2.2.0, Novell 4.11
server) using SMC EtherEZ(8416) cards?

Some background: 5 networked machines are already running an app I
developed with Delphi 1.1 using the 16bit BDE.

Now I'm developing an upgrade with Delphi 3, and I've got both
versions running fine on two non-networked machines of my own.

I can run the two versions on my client's network through my laptop
using a XIRCOM ethernet PC card.

But when I've run the new Delphi app from those machines, and do as
little as activate a table, the machine goes to a blue or black screen
of death a few seconds after I close the app. So I created a single
form app to just look at a table and the same thing happened. Then I
put Paradox 7 on one machine and the same thing happened. If I look at
a table, and exit Paradox, Windows dies and the machine goes to a blue
character mode screen, and a hard reboot is the only option. That
convinced me it's the BDE.

Also, I can use Lotus to look at a .db table, and the system continues
on just fine.

FYI, I'm running BDE 4.0 on two of their machines, installed from my
own Delphi install disk (I'll try putting on 4.51 today).

Any suggestions??

The same thing happened with v4.51. I hope someone can help.
