I tried this about two or three years ago, so my memory is hazy. I can't
remember which version of NDIS3PKT I used. But from what I remember I set
it up as directed by the instructions, but I was not able to get any
network access using the packet driver. It was as if the packet driver was
not connected to my network. I can't remember which program I used to test
it, but I suspect it was lynx. ;)

Thanks, bye,
