Q&A for Windows environments

These guidelines give you tips to deal with some problems on us- ing Ethernet Card. If the problems remain unsolved, contact your dealer for assistance.

Windows 95/98

Problem: Ejecting the card from the PCMCIA socket hangs or reboots the computer.

Solution: To prevent this phenomenon from occurring, stop the card by using the PC Card tool in the Control Panel or the PC Card icon on the taskbar before you re- move the card.

Problem: The card cannot be detected when reinserted.

Cause: This is caused by certain unstable PCMCIA status lines when the card is removed and reinserted. The Win- dows 95/98 drivers may read an incorrect status during this period of signal instability, and fail to detect the cor- rect status of the card.

Solution: The card can be detected by clicking “Refresh” in Device Manager.
