Installation for Windows NT Client
************************************************************************
This readme file will provide you with informations to install the
Ethernet LAN Card to the following Operating System:
A) Installation for Windows NT Client Version 3.5
B) Installation for Windows NT Client Version 3.51
(A) Installation for Windows NT Client Version 3.5
--------------------------------------------------
NTECARD.SYS: Ethernet LAN Card Enabler for Windows NT Client Version 3.5
Tested on - Intel 365 PCMCIA Controller
- NT Version 3.5 Build 807
- EISA bus with PCMCIA ISA card
- IBM ThinkPad 755C
- Vadem controller
By default, card will be configured on
- IO Base 0x300
- IRQ 5
- Memory used C800:0000 (0xC8000)
- Socket 0
To alter these 4 parameters, see instructions below.
Installation Procedures
-----------------------
1) Copy the NTECARD.SYS driver to your
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\
directory.
2) Run REGEDT32.EXE from the SYSTEM32 directory.
3) Select the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES key.
4) Make a new sub-key (under services with the "Edit" then "Add Key".
5) Call the Key Name "NTECARD".
6) Make the Class "1" for SERVICE_KERNEL_DRIVER type.
7) Under the new "NTECARD" Key add the following Values:
(This is done by "Edit" then "Add Value..." and select "REG_xx"
for each value)
a) ErrorControl:REG_DWORD:0x1
b) Group:REG_SZ:Base
c) Start:REG_DWORD:0x1
d) Type:REG_DWORD:0x1
8) Then go to the control panel and install the NE2000 network driver on
IO Base 0x300, IRQ 5 and Restart your machine.
9) Changing Parameters
This section will show you how to change from the default parameters.
i) Go to the NTECARD key in the registry as created in step 4. i.e. at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\NTECARD.
ii) Highlight the NTECARD key and add a new key. To do this go to "Edit"
and chose "Add Key".
iii) Set the new "Key Name" to "Parameters", and specify the "Class" as "1".
iv) Select the new "Parameters" key and then add the following values (as in
step (7) above).
a) MemoryAddress:REG_DWORD:0xC8000
b) IOAddress:REG_DWORD:0x300
c) IRQ:REG_DWORD:0x5
d) CardSocket:REG_DWORD:0x0
You may specify any of the following values for each "Parameters" value:
a) MemoryAddress:REG_DWORD:0xC8000
0xCC000
0xD0000
0xD4000
0xD8000
0xE0000
Tip: If you use ECARD for DOS use, follow the ECARD MEM setting (default
is D800). This corresponds to 0xD8000 in Windows NT.
b) IOAddress:REG_DWORD:0x300
0x320
0x340
0x360
c) IRQ:REG_DWORD:0x5
0x3
0x9
0x10
0x12
0x15
d) CardSocket:REG_DWORD:0x0
0x1
After changing the settings for IOAddress and IRQ you will need to amend
your NE2000 driver configuration in the Control Panel with the same settings.
(B) Installation for Windows NT Client Version 3.51
---------------------------------------------------
Windows NT Version 3.51 did not include support for PCMCIA card and socket
services, only certain modem cards, SCSI controller cards, hard disk cards
and network adapter cards are supported.
Therefore inorder to make the Ethernet LAN Card work with the PCMCIA software
supplied with NT 3.51, the following steps are to be carried out.
(1) Run the program C:\WINDOWS\System32\REGEDT32.EXE
(2) Highlight the Key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Pcmcia\DataBase
(3) Select Edit and the choose Add Key from the menu
-In the Key Name box, type "EIGER Labs Inc.", and click OK
(4) Now highlight:
......\Pcmcia\Database\EIGER Labs Inc.
(5) Select Edit and Add Key from Menu
In the Key Name box, type "Ethernet Combo card", and click OK
(6) Select Edit and Add Key from Menu
In the Key Name box, type "Ethernet 10BaseT Card", and click OK
(7) Highlight:
......\Pcmcia\Database\EIGER Labs Inc.\Ethernet Combo card
(8) Select Edit and Add Value from Menu
Set Value Name to "AttributeMemorySize", Data Type to REG_DWORD
and Data to 1000 (hex)
(9) Select Edit and Add Value from Menu
Set Value Name to "Driver", Data Type to REG_SZ
and Data to ne2000
(10) Highlight:
......\Pcmcia\Database\EIGER Labs Inc.\Ethernet 10BaseT Card
and Repeat step (13) to (14)
(11) Exit Registry Editor
(12) Reboot Windows NT with the PCMCIA Ethernet LAN Card inserted.
Setup Network Adapter
---------------------
(1) Open the Control Panel, and choose Start Network Setup by double
clicking the Network ICON.
(2) If this is your first time installing network adapter, a [Network Setting]
window will pops up asking you to install it now. At this point,
select YES and choose [do not detect] at the next window prompt.
(3) On the [Add Network] window, select the Novell NE2000 compatible Adaptor
from the list.
(4) Set the IRQ level to any free resources,
Set the I/O Port Address to 300. eg. IRQ=5 I/O=0x300
Click OK.
(5) On the [Bus Type] window, select PCMCIA as the Bus-Type and click OK.
If this window does not appear for your version of NT, follows the next
set of instructions.
(6) You are now ready to install your network software.
DO THIS ONLY if step (5) of Setup Network Adapter fails
-------------------------------------------------------
(1) Run the program C:\WINDOWS\System32\REGEDT32.EXE
(2) Highlight:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NE2000\Linkage
(3) Findout where the parameters are stored, eg. NE20001
(4) Highlight:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NE20001\Parameters
(5) Select Edit and Add Value from Menu
Set Value Name to "Pcmcia", Data Type to REG_DWORD
and Data to 1 (hex)
(6) Double click BusType on the right hand panel and change the value to 1
(7) Exit Registry Editor
(8) Reboot Windows NT with the PCMCIA Ethernet Card inserted
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
