!Troubleshooting

If Windows NT reports an error or you can’t connect to the network, try the suggestions here first, then turn to page 14 if necessary.

Make sure you’re using the drivers for this adapter. Drivers are located on the Windows NT CD-ROM or on the Intel Drivers and Configuration disk version 2.3 or later.

Make sure the driver is loaded and the protocols are bound. Check the Network Bindings dialog box in Windows NT.

Check the Windows NT Event Viewer for error messages.

If you are attaching to a NetWare network, check your frame type and verify that NetWare client software has been installed.

Test the adapter with PROSet. After installing the adapter you can run PROSet from your hard disk. To do this, double-click the Intel PROSet icon in the Control Panel. Click Test to run diagnostics. For additional information, click Help in the PROSet window.

Check with your LAN administrator — you may need to install supplemental networking software.

Windows 95

1Automatic Configuration

PCI computers automatically detect and configure PCI-compliant adapters while booting. The PRO/100B TX PCI adapter IRQ level and I/O address are automatically set by the BIOS each time you start your computer.

Start your computer to automatically configure the adapter. Configuration is complete when Windows 95 starts.

If your computer displays an error while booting, it may require additional steps to configure. See the PCI installation tips section on page 17 for more information.

2Install Network Drivers from Diskette

Have your Windows 95 installation CD-ROM or disks available, as Windows

95prompts for them when you install the new adapter.

1After you put the adapter in the computer, start Windows 95.

The New Hardware Found dialog box appears. If this box does not appear and Windows 95 starts normally, you may need to manually add the adapter. See page 10.

2Click “Driver from disk provided by hardware manufacturer,” then click OK. The Install From Disk dialog box appears.

3Insert the Intel Configuration and Drivers disk.
