Err Msg: TCP Unloaded with Madge Smart Ring Driver

 Last reviewed: September 9, 1996
Article ID: Q117302
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11

SYMPTOMS

When you start your computer, during execution of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file (before Windows for Workgroups is started) the following message appears: 

   TCP Unloaded
This happens when your computer has a Madge 16/4 Smart Ring Node Token Ring adapter installed and you are using the SMARTND.DOS driver file version 1.25 or 1.37.

CAUSE

This problem occurs when the LOAD TCPIP line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file is executed. These versions of SMARTND.DOS may have problems running Microsoft's MS-TCP/IP stack in Windows for Workgroups 3.11.

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, use the SMARTND.DOS driver file version 1.5. To obtain this driver file, connect to Madge BBS at (408)955-0262, or contact Madge Technical Support at (800)876-2343.
