SYMPTOMS
After you install Windows for Workgroups for use with the Proteon 1390 or 1392 token-ring network interface card (NIC) and restart your system, you may receive one of the following error messages:

Bad PROTOCOL.INI - Drivername not found.

-or-

The Protocol Manager has reported an incomplete binding.



CAUSE
These error messages may be caused by an incorrect setting in the PROTOCOL.INI file.



WORKAROUND
To make sure the Proteon settings are correct, do the following:

  Open the PROTOCOL.INI file in a text editor such as Notepad. If the DRIVERNAME= setting reads as follows DRIVERNAME=NDISXR39$

-or-

DRIVERNAME=NDIS39XR$ change it to read

DRIVERNAME=NDI39XR$

 If you made changes to PROTOCOL.INI, save them and restart your computer.

NOTE: If you change your network settings from Control Panel, you must edit PROTOCOL.INI again to prevent the error from occurring.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows for Workgroups version 3.1.
