DEC 101 Card Does Not Function After Server-Based Setup

 * }

Q129489

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95

-

SYMPTOMS
When you are using a DEC 101 network interface card, you are unable to connect to the network after performing a server-based installation of Windows 95.

CAUSE
The NDIS 2 or NDIS 3 network interface card drivers that Windows 95 is using are not configuring the DEC 101 network interface card properly. Some settings for the DEC 101 network interface card allow the card to function properly when ODI drivers are used, but not when NDIS 2 or NDIS 3 drivers are used. In such cases, if the Windows 95 NDIS drivers are using the same settings as the ODI drivers you were using before installing Windows 95, the network interface card is not configured properly and does not function.

RESOLUTION
Make sure that the NDIS drivers are configuring the DEC 101 network interface card properly. For information about how to do so, please contact DEC.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 95. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION
The DEC 101 network interface card is an 8-bit card. This problem does not occur with similar 16-bit DEC cards.
