Known Problens:
1. Different NDIS driver versions for Windows 9x
2. Driver update under Win95 OSR2
1. Different NDIS driver versions for Windwos 9x
After installing the BASEline adaptercard into your Windows 9x system
this card will be automatically recognized by the operating system
and a correct driver of the Windows 9x disk will be installed. This
driver should be sufficient for running the BASEline adapter card.
If you would like to use a more current driver version you should install
the driver that is on the BASEline driver disk.
In this case, please take a look at the following informtion regarding
the different NDIS driver versions.
In the current Windows operating systems so called NDIS driver
(Network Device Interface Specification) are used for the operation
of network cards. Many extensions have been made regarding the
specification of the NDIS driver. For a today's Windows 95 (OSR2 version
4.00.950b) and Windows 98 installation a NDIS 4.0 driver should be used.
You can find the NDIS 4.0 driver for the BASEline card on the BASEline
driver disk in the subdirectory \Win98 and the corresponding inf file
on the root of the driver disk.
As soon as you have inserted the BASEline driver disk into your floppy
drive and refer to the root of the floppy drive the NDIS 4.0 driver for
your BASEline card will be installed.
If you should install the BASEline adapter card into a Windows 95 system of
a former generation (Version 4.00.950 or 4.00.950a) you can only use NDIS 3.1
driver as a higher NDIS version is not supported by those system generations.
For the backward compatability to these Windows 95 system generations you can
find a NDIS 3.1 driver and the corresponding inf file on the BASEline driver
disk, directory \Win95.
If you use one of the two first Windows 95 versions the NDIS 3.1 driver can
be installed out of the directory \Win95. During the driver installation
you have to insert the BASEline driver disk into your floppy drive and refer
to the directory Win 95
2. Driver update under Win95 OSR2
ATTENTION:
Please take a look at the following information for updating
the driver under Win95 OSR2
The method that the driver can be searched automatically will not be
successful in this case as Microsoft stated that Windows shows internal
problems during copying the driver.
(look at Microsoft Technet PSSID number: Q 170325)
This problem does not occur with Windows 98
If you want to replace the driver of Win95 that is part of the
delivery scope by the driver which is on disk please take
the following steps:
In the 'Control Panel' please doubleclick on the symbol
'System' and select the device manager. Make a double click on
the symbol 'network adapters', Realtek RTL 8019 Plug & Play LAN
adapter. Now click on 'driver' and select 'Update driver'.
In the 'Update Device Driver Wizard' please select 'No, select driver'.
Click on 'next' and 'Diskette'. Now insert the disk and state 'A': as
source. Confirm with OK. The model 'Compu-Shack BASEline ISA PnP' will
be shown in the next window. Click on OK for updating the driver.
During the updating process the operating system will ask you to insert
Win 95 disk for copying other files. After copying and after restarting
your system you can work with the current driver.
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.
