Error 58 with SMC Ethercard and ODI Drivers

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11

SYMPTOMS

When you start Windows for Workgroups 3.11 on a Zenith computer using the Zenith-provided ODI drivers for the bundled SMC Ethercard, you receive the following error message: 

   Error 58: The network has responded incorrectly

CAUSE

The Zenith-provided version of the ODI driver is named ZECODI. If the SMC Ethercard multiple link interface device (MLID) was installed after Windows for Workgroups was set up, the Bindings= lines in the PROTOCOL.INI file are written incorrectly.

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, edit the PROTOCOL.INI file by replacing any instances of SMC8000 with ZECODI in the Bindings= lines.

Zenith Technical Support recommends that customers use the drivers that ship with their versions of the network card. Since there is no OEMSETUP.INF file, users are directed to install the card as the SMC Ethercard Plus. If the MLID is running before you set up Windows for Workgroups, the Bindings= lines are written correctly. Windows for Workgroups pulls the MLID name from LSL if the MLID is running.
