Sorry in advance John 'coz this won't help you; but I remember seeing 
this message on an old Texas Instruments laptop using a Xircom RE-100 
card on Warp 4, however I did get it going without changing any INI 
files.  It came down to the order in which MPTS was installed.  Adding 
the card and driver after installation of peer and mpts caused the 
failier.  A re-installation of network services (peer etc...) after 
installing the Xircom drivers solved the problem but an error message 
still came up.  Don't know why.  Also when upgrading to an Acer laptop 
and using the same card there where no problems and no error messages; 
straight out of the box and xircom drivers added after during network 
installation.

Cheers
G

Can you please type into this email, exactly what is on the PCMCIA.SYS and IBMSSxx (can be different numbers for xx) lines of your Config.sys and cut and paste the whole of protocol.ini into the note.

The system thinks you are selecting a particular socket. This suggests you may have an incorrect parameter set somewhere.
