NetWare Client 32 for Windows 95 installation : 1) Run SETUP from NetWare Client 32 for Windows 95 disk and follow on the setup instructions to install the NetWare Client 32 for Windows 95. 2) When "Select Device" for Network Adapter dialog box is prompted, click "Have Disk". 3) Type drv:\NWCLIENT\CLIENT32 to specify a different path in "Install From Disk" diaglogue box, click "OK". 4) Go through NetWare Client 32 for Windows 95 installation procedures. D. Parameters The following parameters belong on the server's command line, or in the load line inside the AUTOEXEC.NCF. The general way of using these parameters is: LOAD <driver name> <PARAMETER NAME>... <PARAMETER NAME[=VALUE]> Example: LOAD <driver name> TURBO SLOT=16 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 ------------------------------------------------------------------ NOTE that wrong values (such as 'line_speed=128') are IGNORED, and a default value is taken instead. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Driver specific parameters list (as for NetWare standard parameters, please see the NetWare user's manual): AUI selects AUI port. TP selects TP port. BNC selects BNC port. TP_NO_LINK_TEST selects twisted pair connection, but disables the LINK test for specific HUBs that do not support LINK. TP_FULL_DUPLEX selects twisted pair connection to work in full duplex mode. TURBO Fixes the problem of multiple transmit underflows and receive overflows (i.e. lose of packets) in systems that use certain PCI chipsets. LINE_SPEED selects line speed between 10MPBs and 100MBPs. Format: LINE_SPEED=<value> Allowed values are: 10,100 GENERAL_PURPOSE_CONTROL user override of the control value in the GENERAL_PURPOSE register. Normally, this value should not be changed. Format: GENERAL_PURPOSE_CONTROL=<Hexadecimal Value> Allowed values: in the range 1FF-0 hex. GENERAL_PURPOSE_DATA user override of the data value in the GENERAL_PURPOSE register. Normally, this value should not be changed. Format: GENERAL_PURPOSE_DATA=<Hexadecimal Value> Allowed values: in the range 1FF-0 hex. T4 run in T4 100Mbps mode NT run under NT requester OS2 run in NetWare for OS/2 Unixware run in UnixWare Client32Win run in Client32 environment for windows Client32Win95 run in Client32 environment for Windows95 Client32DOS run in Client32 environment for DOS E. Driver Error messages: Some messages also have a numerical code printed with them. The codes are given here to the left of the message (when applicable). 50 - No PCI board found in machine! Driver could not detect a supported NIC. 53 - Board is disabled for no apparent reason! Board is not enabled. Normally BIOS & ECU should enable the board. 73 - Unable to allocate memory Driver failed to allocate needed memory from the OS (receive/ transmit descriptors or needed transmit buffers). 200 - Timeout when initializing DecChip 21X4 with setup packet! This happens mainly when the PCI slot does not support DMA accordingly. Make sure the BIOS setup or motherboard switches are set to enable DMA or Bus Master operation of this slot. 209 - Do not support DC21041 in DC21040 mode The DC21041 MODE_SELECT pin is connected to VSS making it work in MODE_0, i.e. as a virtual DC21040 in all respects. The driver does NOT support this mode. 210 - Driver failed to locate PCI bus! The machine is not identified as PCI (to support PCI NICs). 211 - Failed to locate DecChip 21X4 on board Failed to identify a DecChip 21x4 signature in an PCI board. 212 - Unsupported DC21140 chip version The DC21X4 drivers do not support DC21140 rev 1.0 chip. If you receive this message, please make sure you have an updated rev of your NIC. 213 - Unexpected OS behavior. Driver supports 3.11 and later This identifies a fail of assumption regarding the OS behavior. 214 - Read bad mask value from EISA configuration An assumption regarding data read from EISA ECU (for EISA based NICs) failed. This might happen because of incorrect ECU file for that NIC. 215 - Read bad port size value from EISA configuration An assumption regarding data read from EISA ECU (for EISA based NICs) failed. This might happen because of incorrect ECU file for that NIC. 216 - Failed to read EISA configuration An assumption regarding data read from EISA ECU (for EISA based NICs) failed. This might happen because of incorrect ECU file for that NIC. 217 - Failed to find PCI BIOS The machine is not identified as PCI (to support PCI NICs). This error is generated when driver is directed to load PCI NIC (using the 'slot=xx' keyword, and slot value is a PCI number). If the driver is loaded without specifying slot number, the driver checks for PCI support, and in this case will generate another error message (please refer to error number 210 - Driver failed to locate PCI bus). 218 - Bad PCI BIOS status PCI BIOS returned a fail status in one of the calls. Please check the BIOS version and BIOS correctness using an external utility. 219 - Bad PCI BIOS Register err PCI BIOS returned a fail status in one of the calls. Please check the BIOS version and BIOS correctness using an external utility. 220 - PCI BIOS failed to initialize DecChip 21040 CBIO reg! PCI BIOS has initialized a DWORD register in the NIC's configuration space (at offset 10Hex) with illegal value. Please check the BIOS version and BIOS correctness using an external utility. Also verify that your BIOS setup enables I/O and initialize correctly the device in this PCI slot. 221 - PCI board disappeared... PCI BIOS is not consistent with returned values per this NIC. 222 - Unsupported TSM version (need x.yz and above)! This driver supports EtherTSM.NLM of version as specified and higher. 223 - DC21X4 Tx babbles on slot x. Driver halted this slot's NIC. This is a watchdog put in the driver to make sure the transmit does not babble on the cable. 224 - DC21X4 detected PCI bus error on slot x (bus error bits = xh). Driver halted this slot NIC due to that identified error. 225 - PCI BIOS assigned DecChip 21040 an illegal interrupt number PCI BIOS has initialized a byte register in the NIC's configuration space (at offset 3CHex) with illegal value. Please check the BIOS version and BIOS correctness using an external utility. Also verify that your BIOS setup enables interrupt, assigns a reasonable interrupt value and initialize correctly the device in this PCI slot. 226 - Could not handle Turbo switch successfully Failed to operate the 'Turbo' mechanism from one of the following reasons: - Unknown chipset on the motherboard - PCI BIOS returned a fail status in one of the calls involved with operating this mechanism. 227 - Internal CRC table corrupted Driver found an error in internal CRC table. 228 - Could not handle chipset bug workaround successfully Failed to operate chipset bug workaround because PCI BIOS returned a fail status in one of the calls involved with operating this mechanism. 229 - This machine Host to PCI bridge has a known bug. Driver limits DC21X4 bursts as a workaround. 230 - This machine Host to PCI bridge has a known bug when using cache in WB mode which may cause data corruption or system hang Please change the cache mode to WT (Write Through) as a workaround This machine Host to PCI bridge has a known bug that might violate system integrity. Driver cannot be responsible for outcome, therefor it will not load in this case. Putting the machine in write-through mode (cache) makes the system safe to work with. Driver will load in that case. 240 - Unable to locate or read the Ethernet ROM address on board! This might happen due to bad data stored in the IEEE serial ROM, an error when reading it, or a wrong data structure burnt into the ROM. 244 - Serial ROM - Read failed Driver failed to read the IEEE serial flash ROM due to hardware handshake failure. Make sure the IEEE flash ROM on your NIC is operational using external utility. 245 - The selected media is unsupported The selected media is unsupported by the device. 246 - Cannot initalize the network card (CreateNIC failed) Cannot initalize the network card (CreateNIC failed) The CreateNIC routine failed, and we cannot initalize the nic 247 - NOT USED. 248 - This machine PCI chipset has a problem that might cause excessive transmit underflows. Driver works around this, but performance may be affected.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.
