SUMMARY
The Intel EtherExpress (EE) 16 network card that ships with Windows for Workgroups is a software configurable card. This card is shipping in the following Windows for Workgroups packages:


 * Windows for Workgroups Starter Kit
 * Windows for Workgroups User Kit
 * Windows for Workgroups add-on for 2 users of Microsoft Windows version 3.1
 * Windows for Workgroups add-on for 1 user of Microsoft Windows version 3.1

The settings for the card can be configured and tested in MS-DOS using the program SOFTSET.



MORE INFORMATION
SOFTSET is a utility program that allows you to configure and test the Intel EE 16 card. The Inel EE 16 works with thick or thin Ethernet cable. The board has a DIX(15 pin, D-shaped) and a BNC Connector.

If you suspect there is a hardware conflict with the Intel EE 16 card, you may want to place the card in 8-bit mode. To do this within Windows for Workgroups, take the following steps:


 * 1) From Control Panel, choose Network.
 * 2) Choose the Adapters button.
 * 3) Select the Intel EE 16 Adapter, then choose the Setup button.
 * 4) Choose the Advanced button.
 * 5) Set I/O Channel Ready to NEVER. This changes the IOCHRDY= line in the PROTOCOL.INI to NEVER.

You can also configure other settings on the Intel EE 16 card (that is, IRQ, I/O, and RAM addresses). For more information on changing the software configurable settings, consult the documentation for the card.
