SUMMARY
When you load NET$OS.EXE you may receive the following error message:
Insufficient memory
NOTE: The NET$OS.EXE file is an alternative to IPX.COM.
CAUSE
The NET$OS.EXE file provides its own memory manager. When HIMEM.SYS is
loaded with no switches, the above error message is returned.
WORKAROUND
There are two solutions:
• Use the INT15 switch on HIMEM.SYS (Located in the CONFIG.SYS file)
to allow NET$OS.EXE to access the memory on its own. Use at least
1088 on the INT15 switch. For example:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS /INT15=1088
• Take the HIMEM.SYS driver out of the CONFIG.SYS file.
