I don't think you can have a packet driver running and use WfW's built in
networking. I may be wrong, but I think there would be a conflict over
which driver had control of the network card.

Instead you could install Dan Lanciani's NDIS3PKT, which provides a packet
driver interface to programs running in a DOS box under Windows. I don't
know if it works with Windows for Workgroups, though.

I'm not sure, but I think TSRs can register to be sent some notification
when Windows starts. So you could make your TSR check for a packet driver
on load and also when Windows starts. That way you can use it with
DOS+packet driver or WfW+NDIS3PKT.

HTH, bye,
