SYMPTOMS
After you upgrade to Windows 98 Second Edition with an Intel 8/16 10BaseT network adapter installed, your computer may stop responding (hang) when you restart your computer.



CAUSE
This issue can occur if the Intel 8/16 10BaseT network adapter and communications port 1 (COM1) are configured to use interrupt request (IRQ) 4 and input/output (I/O) address range 0270-027F.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, configure the Intel 8/16 10BaseT network adapter to use a different IRQ:
 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
 * 2) Double-click Network.
 * 3) Click the Intel 8/16 10BaseT network adapter, and then click Properties.
 * 4) Click the Resources tab.
 * 5) In the Interrupt (IRQ) box, change the IRQ to a non-conflicting resource for the network adapter, and then click OK.
