I get the same error (went by fast enough that I couldn't read it very well), but
haven't found a solution.
I would love to get this working though.
My install is on a Toshiba laptop, so I don't think that it is the hardware bios that
is the problem. Might be the "virtual" bios that W4L uses?
There was another message talking about some of the limitations of the current bios
(64 MB max memory to W4L), maybe Netraverse will update to a newer one that will fix
both problems.

Under Win4lin 3 (with vnet) I've installed the Novell Client for Netware
in Windows 95. (I think this should work since our Netware servers use IP
and not IPX.)
When I try to start windows however, I get the following error message:
"While initializing device NIOS:
Windows protection error. You need to restart your computer."
"NIOS" refers to nios.vxd, which is used by the Netware client. If I
remove ~/win/windows/system/nios.vxd I can get Windows to start, but
networking is unavailable.
I searched the Novell knowledge base, and found a single article which
talks about this problem showing up on a Gateway machine with a buggy
bios. (The fix was a bios upgrade.) I'm using a DELL however and I
gather the bios is virtualized under win4lin in any case. (This is a
dual-boot machine and I get no error when I boot directly to windows.)
Anyone have any idea how I can get nios.vxd to load under win4lin 3?
Thanks,
Dan Greenberg
