PRB: AppleTalk Does Not Bind to FDDI Cards in Windows NT 4.0

 * }

Q191838

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Win32 Device Driver Kit (DDK) for Windows NT, version 4.0

-

SYMPTOMS
AppleTalk protocol does not bind to FDDI network cards. However, it does bind to Ethernet cards. At the same time TCP/IP, IPX, and NetBEUI do bind to FDDI network cards.

CAUSE
AppleTalk will not bind to an adapter that does not have a MediaType keyword in the parameter section of the card.

RESOLUTION
Under Windows NT 4.0, you need to set the MediaType parameter in the INF to 3.(NOTE: In Windows NT 3.51, MediaType is listed as 4 when it should be 3.)
