TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
====================
INTEL ETHEREXPRESS PRO/100 ISA (0000) IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY
--------------------------------------------------------------
If Windows 95 fails to detect or initialize the EtherExpress PRO/100
ISA adapter, you will get this error message when starting Windows 95:
"Your network adapter Intel EtherExpress PRO/100 ISA (0000) is not
working properly. You may need to set it up again. For more information,
see the Network Troubleshooting in Windows help."
Try these steps:
1 Verify that the I/O address and interrupt being used by the
EtherExpress PRO/100 ISA adapter are not being used by any other
device in your workstation, including a sound card, faxmodem, scanner,
tape backup, serial port, or parallel port.
Look at the documentation or setup programs for the other installed
adapters in your computer to verify what I/O address and interrupts
they are using. Some sound cards use multiple interrupts and I/O
addresses. For example, a typical sound card will use an I/O address
of 220 and IRQ 5 for the sound port and an I/O address of 330 and
IRQ 11 for the MIDI/Joystick port.
2 Verify that the EtherExpress PRO/100 ISA adapter passes all diagnostic
tests by running CONFIG.EXE from DOS and selecting "DIAG". If the
EtherExpress PRO/100 ISA fails diagnostics it will not function
correctly under Windows 95.
If diagnostics fail, try setting the EtherExpress adapter to use a
different I/O address or a different interrupt.
NOTE: If you run DIAG in a DOS window under Windows 95, the
diagnostics will report that the NIC hardware failed.
ADAPTER PASSES DIAGNOSTICS BUT STILL DOES NOT WORK WITH WINDOWS 95
------------------------------------------------------------------
If the adapter passes diagnostics but still does not work with Windows 95,
there could be a problem with the network setup configuration. If you've
made several attempts to configure the network setup for Windows 95 or had
another adapter installed before the EtherExpress PRO/100 ISA adapter, it
may be necessary to restore the Windows 95 network configuration to default
settings and then reconfigure the Windows 95 network setup. Here's how:
1 Open the "My Computer" icon.
2 Open the "Control Panel" icon from the My Computer window.
3 Open the "Network" icon from the Control Panel window.
4 Select the "Intel EtherExpress PRO/100 ISA" from the Network Components
list, and click "Remove". This removes the adapter and all associated
components from the Windows 95 network configuration.
5 From the Network Configuration window, click "OK".
6 When Windows 95 finishes copying files and updating the network
configuration, you will be prompted to restart your computer for the
changes to take effect, click "Yes".
7 After the workstation reboots, continue at step 1 of the GENERAL
