COM Port and IRQ Conflicts

The default frame type for Netware 3.11 and below is 802.3 but it changed to 802.2 in Netware 4.x and 3.12. Check the content of NET.CFG to see if the Frame type is acceptable by the server. If the Frame type can not be accepted by the server, edit NET.CFG to change the Frame type at the client site, or add the Frame type which can be accepted at the server site.

If you have isolated the problem to an IRQ or COM port conflict, refer to the following sections for resolving IRQ and COM port conflicts in Windows 3.1x, Windows 95, Windows 98, or WindowsNT.

Windows 3.1x

To look for COM port or IRQ conflicts in Windows 3.1x, select File Run in Program Manager, type MSD, and click Enter. Then select Mouse, COM Ports, and IRQ Status and note the addresses and IRQs that are in use. If you find an IRQ conflict, note which IRQs are not being used, then change one of the conflicting devices to use one of the unused IRQs. If you find an address conflict, change the address of one of the conflicting devices.

To change a port address or IRQ in Windows 3.1x, double-click the Control Panel icon, then the Ports icon. Click on the port you want to change, click Settings, click Advanced, and select the new port address and/or interrupt. If you wish to use COM3 or COM4, note that COM3 shares an IRQ with COM1, as does COM4 with COM2, so you should change their IRQs to unused ones, if possible.

Windows 95

Windows 95 provides a complete "Plug n' Play" System that will automatically recognize and configure most PC Cards.

As Multifunction PC Cards put a heavy demand on a system's resources, please resolve all system conflicts, errors, and Windows 95 issues before installing the MT5634ZLX/FE.

In Windows 95, right-click on My Computer, select Properties from the menu, click on the Device Manager tab, double-click on Ports, then double-click on the Communications Port your modem is connected to. In the port’s Properties sheet, click on the Resources tab to see the port’s Input/Output range and Interrupt Request. If another device is using the same address range or IRQ, it will appear in the Conflicting Device List. Uncheck Use Automatic Settings to change the port’s settings so they do not conflict with the other device, or select the port the conflicting device is on and change it instead. If you need to open your computer to change switches or jumpers on the conflicting device, refer to the device’s documentation.
