SYMPTOMS

If you move a PCI network adapter from one PCI slot to another without changing its configuration, Windows NT no longer recognizes the adapter.

    WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.

    1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe) and go to the following key:

            HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services
               \<Network Adapter Driver>\Parameters
                                  
    2. Modify the bus and slot numbers to the new settings.


STATUS
