Now we can cull that list of program names, by disregarding any
item which is obviously not the name of a network driver. You

names of DOS commands. (A convenient way to determine
whether any item is the name of a DOS command is to search for
that name in the alphabetical index of DOS commands which
appears when you type "
help"
at the DOS prompt.) Thus, in our
example, we have a list of ten names, and we can
disregard MSDOS, because it is the "System Program," and
thus is not a network driver

alphabetical list of DOS commands
disregard SMARTDRV, because it appears in the
alphabetical list of DOS commands
disregard MSCDEX, because it appears in the alphabetical
list of DOS commands
disregard DOSKEY, because it appears in the alphabetical
list of DOS commands
disregard MEM, because it appears in the alphabetical list of
DOS commands
This leaves us to deal with just four possibilities as to the name of
the network driver which is conflicting with our Quick Install:
LSL, DFE650, IPXODI, and NETX
Let's call this list the "short list." One of the items in the short list

Now It's Trial-and-Error Time
It is good news that the short list is short. The bad news is that
there is only one method guaranteed to determine which of the
