=====================================================

As a part of my general and ongoing upgrade, I decided to upgrade my
peer-to-peer home network from 10-BaseT to 100-BaseT. I purchased a new
Linksys EtherFast 10/100 hub and a new Linksys EtherFast 10/100 PC Card for my
antique Thinkpad 380-XD. The hub went in without problem (no surprise there).
I used MPTS to remove my old IBM EtherJet PC Card from the environment and --
after a restart -- added the Linksys card. The entire process went without
incident.

Except...

My two systems don't want to talk to each other anymore. They both show up
without error on the hub. When I first tried connecting with the new hardware,
the ThinkPad reported that one or more of the connections had failed.
Examination revealed that they all had. The ThinkPad makes considerable use of
partitions on my main system, as well as the COM port and the printer. I
removed all the connections shown in the ThinkPad Shared Connections and
Network Resources notebook, which eliminated the error message. But, when I
attempt to recreate a connection, I get a SYS0053 error message, "The network
path was not found".

Does anyone have a suggestion about where I should start to troubleshoot this
problem?
