Hints and Tips
--------------
ERROR 58: WHILE LOADING PROTOCOL NUMBER 0...
--------------------------------------------
If Windows for Workgroups fails to detect or initialize the
EtherExpress PRO/100 ISA adapter, you will get this error message
when starting Windows for Workgroups:
THE FOLLOWING ERRORS OCCURRED WHILE LOADING PROTOCOL NUMBER 0:
ERROR 58: THE NETWORK HAS RESPONDED INCORRECTLY. YOU MAY NEED TO
RECONFIGURE THE PROTOCOL USING NETWORK SETUP.
Try these steps:
1 Verify that the I/O address and interrupt used by the
EtherExpress PRO/100 ISA adapter are not used by any other device
(e.g., sound cards, faxmodems, serial ports, parallel ports,
etc.) in your computer.
2 Verify that the PRO/100 ISA adapater passes all diagnostic
tests by running INSTALL.EXE from DOS and selecting "DIAG".
If the EtherExpress PRO/100 ISA adapter fails diagnostics
it will not function correctly under Windows for Workgroups.
If diagnostics fail, try setting the EtherExpress
PRO/100 ISA adapter to a different I/O address and/or a
different Interrupt.
Windows for Workgroups won't load or locks up
---------------------------------------------
After installing the EtherExpress PRO/100 ISA adapter, if Windows
for Workgroups won't load or locks up, make sure the I/O address
and interrupt used by the EtherExpress PRO/100 ISA adapter are
not used by any other device (e.g., sound cards, faxmodems, serial
ports, parallel ports, etc.) in your computer.
Adapter passes diagnostics but still does not work with
Windows for Workgroups
-----------------------------------------------------------
If the adapter passes diagnostics but still doesn't work with
Windows for Workgroups, there could be a problem with the
PROTOCOL.INI file. If you've made several attempts to configure
Windows for Workgroups or had another adapter installed before
the EtherExpress PRO/100 ISA adapter, it may be necessary to restore
the PROTOCOL.INI file to its default settings and reinstall the
EtherExpress PRO/100 ISA adapter driver. Here's how:
1 Start Windows for Workgroups with the /N parameter. At
the DOS prompt type:
C:\WINDOWS\WIN /N
2 Click the "Network Setup" icon in the Network group.
3 Click the "Networks" button. Select "No Windows Support For
Networks" and click "OK".
4 In the Network Setup window, click "OK".
5 When Windows for Workgroups reports that it modified several
files, click "OK".
6 When Windows for Workgroups prompts you to reset your computer
for the changes to take effect, click "Restart Computer".
After the workstation reboots, continue at step 3 of the
"General Installation" section of this document.
Can't see other workstations
----------------------------
If Windows for Workgroups loads without error messages but you
can't see any other computers on your network, verify that the
name of the workgroup is correct and that you are logged on to
the network. Here's how:
1 From the Control Panel, click the "Network" icon
2 Verify the workgroup name on your computer is the same as the
workgroup name on a working computer.
3 If your Logon Status is "Not logged on", click on "LOG ON."
This problem can also be caused by a problem with the cable,
connectors, or hub. Verify that the cabling you are
using is connected properly and that the cable is not defective.
Novell NetWare files may be required
------------------------------------
1 If you're installing Novell NetWare support on this workstation,
you'll need these Novell NetWare files:
NETWARE.DRV, NETWARE.HLP, NWPOPUP.EXE, VIPX.386, VNETWARE.386
These files are not on the Intel Configuration and Driver
disk. To obtain these files, do one of the following:
- Download the self-extracting file WINDR3.EXE from the
Novell NetWire forum on CompuServe or Novell's FTP server
on the internet (ftp.novell.com).
- Call Novell (1-800-NETWARE) to have the files sent to you.
- Contact a Novell NetWare dealer in your area.
2 To install proper driver support for Windows for Workgroups and
Novell NetWare on the same workstation, you must set up the
workstation for NetWare first using the DOS ODI client.
After logging into your NetWare file server, start Windows for
Workgroups and then run Network Setup.
