General Instructions
--------------------
The EtherExpress 10 ISA LAN adapter supports Plug and Play, and this
feature is enabled by default on the adapter. Since Windows 95 installs
drivers and configures Plug and Play adapters, you are ready to run
Windows 95.
If you currently have Windows 95 installed
------------------------------------------
1 Install the adapter in the computer and turn on the power. Have the
Windows 95 CD ROM available, as you will need it to copy additional
files. While Windows 95 is starting, it will detect the new hardware.
It will prompt you with a list of choices. Choose the option "Driver
from disk provided by hardware manufacturer". Insert the 10 ISA
adapter disk into the drive and indicate A:\ for location of the
driver.

Troubleshooting Tips
====================
1 INTEL ETHEREXPRESS 10 (0000) IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY........ If
Windows 95 fails to detect or initialize the EtherExpress 10 ISA
adapter, you will get this error message when starting Windows 95:
"Your network adapter Intel EtherExpress 10 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:
a) From within Windows 95: Select "My Computer" icon, "Control Panel",
then "System" Icon. Click on the "Device Manager" tab. Click on
Network Adapters. If you have only one 10 ISA adapter installed,
but more than one listing for it, the invalid listing will have a
yellow explanation mark. Remove the listing(s) and restart Windows
95.
b) From DOS: Shut down Windows 95 and go to the DOS prompt. Verify
that the I/O address and Interrupt you specified for the
EtherExpress 10 ISA adapter are correct by running EX10SET.EXE and
selecting "View Configuration". If the I/O address or Interrupt is
different than the value specified in Windows 95, select "Change
Adapter Configuration" from the EX10Set main menu and change the
settings to match the settings in Windows 95.
c) Verify that the I/O address and/or Interrupt being used by the
EtherExpress 10 ISA adapter are not being used by any other device
in your workstation like a sound card, faxmodem, scanner, tape
backup, serial ports, parallel ports, etc. 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.
Check the resources either by the individual devices' setup
programs/documentation or through Windows 95 Device Manager. To
access this information in Windows 95, click on "My Computer" icon,
"Control Panel", then "System" Icon. Click on the "Device Manager"
tab. For each device installed, double click on the item, then
select the "Settings" or "Resources" tab at the top.
d) Verify that the EtherExpress 10 ISA adapter passes all diagnostic
tests by running EX10Set from DOS and selecting "Test Adapter".
Exit to DOS by selecting the Start button on the bottom left of the
screen, then Shut Down, and select Restart in MS-DOS mode. If the
adapter fails diagnostics, it will not function correctly under
Windows 95.
If On-Board diagnostics fail, try setting the EtherExpress 10 ISA
adapter to use a different I/O address, a different Interrupt, or
change Force 8 bit to "YES".
If On-Network diagnostics fail, there is likely a cable, connector,
or hub problem. Verify that the cabling you are using is connected
properly and that the cable is not defective. For more information
on cable specifications, view the 10BaseT or COAX Ethernet cabling
readme files on the EtherExpress 10 ISA LAN adapter and Options
disk.
2 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 network setup configuration. If
you've made several attempts to configure network setup for Windows 95
or had another adapter installed before the EtherExpress 10 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:
a) Choose the "My Computer" icon.
b) Choose the "Control Panel" icon from the My Computer window.
c) Choose the "Network" icon from the Control Panel window.
d) Select the "Intel EtherExpress 10 ISA" from the Network Components
list, and choose "REMOVE". This will remove the Intel EtherExpress
10 ISA adapter driver and all associated components from the
Windows 95 network configuration. If any other Network Components
remain, remove them.
e) From the Network Configuration window, choose "OK"
f) 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, choose "YES".
g) After the workstation reboots, continue at step 1 of the "General
Instructions" section of this document.
Hints and Tips
--------------
1 If you decide to either disable or enable the Plug and Play feature of
the adapter after it has been installed in Windows 95, you will need
to remove any occurrence of that driver, and reinstall the driver.
Windows 95 will treat it as two different devices, if the Plug and
Play feature is changed.
2 If you are not successful in seeing the network, try forcing frame
type when TCPIP is installed and using 802.3 to connect to a NetWare
server. Also, in the identification screen, make sure the workgroup
name is identical on each unit in that group. Be sure file sharing is
enabled on at least one unit.
5 If Windows 95 doesn't automatically recognize your adapter, Plug and
Play may be disabled on your adapter. Run EX10Set and from the main
menu, choose "View Adapter Configuration". From the main EX10Set menu,
select Change Adapter Configuration, then Advanced Options Menu, and
enable Plug and Play.
6 If you choose not to have Plug and Play enabled, you will need to
configure the adapter manually in Windows 95. Follow the steps below:
a) Using EX10Set, configure and test the EtherExpress 10 ISA adapter
before adding it to Network Setup in Windows 95. You must boot the
workstation with DOS, then insert the EtherExpress 10 ISA LAN
Adapter diskette into drive A. At the DOS prompt type
A:EX10SET
b) Select "AUTOMATIC SETUP" to let EX10Set configure the EtherExpress
10 ISA adapter to work in your computer, or select "Change Adapter
Configuration" if you want to designate which Interrupt and I/O
address you want the EtherExpress 10 ISA to use.
c) Select "Test Adapter" from the main menu to test the configuration
you have selected. If the EtherExpress 10 ISA adapter fails
diagnostics it may not function correctly under Windows 95.
NOTE: EX10Set is a DOS program and will not run in Windows 95. You
must run EX10Set from DOS. If you already have Windows 95
installed on your computer, you can boot to DOS by inserting
a DOS boot disk into your floppy disk drive A when rebooting,
or you can select "RESTART THE COMPUTER IN MS-DOS MODE" from
the Shut Down Windows menu in Windows 95.
d) Restart the computer and load Windows 95.
e) Open the "My Computer" icon.
f) Open the "Control Panel" icon from the My Computer window.
g) Open the "Network" icon from the Control Panel window.
h) <Optional> If you're replacing a previously installed LAN adapter,
select the old adapter and choose "Remove".
i) From the Configuration window, choose "ADD".
j) From the Select Network Component Type window, select "ADAPTER" and
choose "ADD".
k) From the Select Network adapters window, click on "Have Disk".
l) Insert the 10 ISA disk in drive A, and specify A:\.
m) A new Select Network adapters window will appear. Two selections
will be available. Since Plug and Play is disabled on the adapter,
select Intel EtherExpress 10 ISA. The Network window will come up
and show a list of the installed components. Windows 95 will add
two default protocols - IPX/SPX compatible Protocol and NetBEUI.
n) <Optional> To share files and printers on this workstation, choose
"FILE AND PRINT SHARING".
o) From the Network Window, select the Identification tab and enter a
unique Computer Name and the name of your new or existing
workgroup, then choose "OK".
p) From the EtherExpress 10 ISA Properties window, specify the
Configuration Type as "Base Configuration 0", then select the
Interrupt and I/O Address range that you set the EtherExpress 10
ISA adapter to using EX10Set, then choose "OK".
q) 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, choose "YES".
