Troubleshooting Windows NT (NDIS 3)
Windows NT 3.51 and 4.0 use a point enabler called PCMCIA.SYS that is supplied with Windows NT. PCMCIA.SYS configures the Intel compatible socket controller with settings gleaned from the registry entry for the PC Card. Windows NT will indicate resource conflicts only after an attempt is made to configure a device. As when using a DOS enabler, you must manually choose your PC Card resources. By looking at the event viewer in the administrative tools, you might find that there is an I/O, IRQ, or memory conflict. A program called WINMSD is included with Windows NT which allows you to see the resources of your machine and determine if there are any conflicts. Make a note of your configured resources and compare them to the settings indicated by WINMSD. Make corrections to your configuration as needed. This is done by the following procedure:
1
2Select Properties.
3Select the Adapter tab.
4Select 3Com TokenLink Velocity PC Card and click Properties.
You can now change your configuration as needed.
Running the Diagnostics Program
Use the diagnostics program on TokenDisk diskette #1 to test the hardware components of the 3C389 PC Card.
The diagnostics program performs a series of tests and displays the results of each one by showing success or failure. An error during any test will end the test in progress and display an error message and error code. See the following tables for a description of error codes and recommended actions.
