Installing Driver on Microsoft Windows NT 3.5x
==============================================
1. Double-click the Network icon in the Control Panel.
2. In the Network Settings dialog box, click the Add Adapter button.
The Add Network Adapter dialog box displays.
3. When the Network Adapter Setup dialog box displays, scroll to the
end of the list and select "<Other> Requires disk from manufacturer".
4. Insert the Support Disk for HP J3239A into the floppy drive.
Enter that drive letter and the pathname "A:\" (using your
drive letter), and select OK.
5. When the Select OEM Option window displays with the line:
HP DeskDirect (J3239A) EL-10 ISA LAN Adapter
select that line indicating your adapter.
6. The HP J3239A ISA LAN Card Setup dialog box displays.
IF more than one HP J3239A ISA adapter is installed, you must
specify the "IRQ level" and "I/O port address" of the adapter
you are installing now. Use the same settings from the hardware
configuration of the adapter; you can view the settings in HPEISET.
Do not change them here.
NOTE: The ISA Plug-and-Play HW configuration of an additional
adapter can change the configuration of an existing, working
adapter. Check its HW configuration again, and if changed,
reinstall the driver for NT.
IF you have a non-Plug-and-Play computer, you must specify its "IRQ
level" and "I/O port address" HW configuration, as listed by
HPEISET. If you did not make a note of them when configured, now
use the "View Configuration" menu item in HPEISET to note them.
Do not change them in this NT installation.
IF you have more than one hardware bus, you will be asked for the
bus location of the adapter. Select ISA or EISA, whichever slot
contains the adapter and confirm.
7. The HPEIND.SYS driver is copied from the \WINNT directory on the
support disk to "C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\". The "OEMSETNT.INF"
file is copied from the root on the support disk to
"C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\" and renamed.
You can see "[0x]HP J3239A ISA LAN Adapter" in the Installed Adapter
Cards menu and can see the HP J3239A ISA LAN Adapter Driver in the

==============================================
Diagnosing Problems by Examining the Event Log
==============================================
If the driver fails to start or appears to be working incorrectly,
examine the Event Log for any driver diagnostic messages.
1. Start the Event Viewer applet in the Administrative Tools group in
Program Manager.
2. Search the Event Log Source column for any entries named "Hpeind".
Double-click the entry to examine the Event Detail dialog box.
In the upper half of the box is a short generic description of the
error. In the lower half of the box is a hexadecimal and ASCII dump
of error data.
3. Scroll through the ASCII error data for any readable strings.
IF a readable string is present, it will describe the problem found
in more detail.
IF no readable string is present, this typically indicates that the
driver failed early in the process of loading -- usually due to
a resource conflict, such as in the I/O port address.
