Table 4. NDIS 2.01 (OS/2) driver messages for the Ethernet controller

PCNTND-1

Unable to open the Protocol Manager.

 

Explanation: The NDIS stack is not configured correctly.

 

Action: Check and correct the configuration.

 

 

PCNTND-6

Out of memory while allocating buffers.

 

Explanation: The driver could not allocate the requested buffers.

 

Action: Check the system configuration. Edit the PROTOCOL.INI file to reduce the

 

number of Txbuffers and Rxbuffers specified for the driver.

 

 

PCNTND-7

A Protocol Manager device error occurred.

 

Explanation: The NDIS stack is not configured correctly.

 

Action: Check and correct the configuration.

 

 

PCNTND-8

Bad status for the Protocol Manager.

 

Explanation: The NDIS stack is not configured correctly in the PROTOCOL.INI file.

 

Action: Check and correct the configuration.

 

 

PCNTND-9

Cannot find the PROTOCOL.INI entry.

 

Explanation: The NDIS stack is not configured correctly in the PROTOCOL.INI file.

 

Action: Check and correct the configuration.

 

 

PCNTND-10

The Protocol Manager Input Output Control (IOCTL) failed.

 

Explanation: The NDIS stack is not configured correctly in the PROTOCOL.INI file.

 

Action: Check and correct the configuration.

 

 

PCNTND-11

Protocol Manager registration failed.

 

Explanation: The NDIS stack is not configured correctly.

 

Action: Check and correct the configuration.

 

 

PCNTND-15

Device not found.

 

Explanation: The driver cannot find an Ethernet controller in the server.

 

Action: Verify that the Ethernet controller is enabled. If the Ethernet controller is

 

enabled, go to “Starting the diagnostic programs” on page 14 to run the diagnostic

 

programs.

 

 

PCNTND-16

PCI scan specified, device not found.

 

Explanation: The driver cannot locate the Ethernet controller on the PCI bus.

 

Action: Verify that the Ethernet controller is enabled. If the Ethernet controller is

 

enabled, go to “Starting the diagnostic programs” on page 14 to run the diagnostic

 

programs.

 

 

PCNTND-21

The adapter failed the checksum test.

 

Explanation: The driver cannot find an Ethernet controller.

 

Action: Verify that the Ethernet controller is enabled. If the Ethernet controller is

 

enabled, go to “Starting the diagnostic programs” on page 14 to run the diagnostic

 

programs.
