The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11

SYMPTOMS

When you install Windows for Workgroups and configure it for the Proteon ISA Token Ring (1346) or Proteon ISA Token Ring (1346) card, you receive the following error after you restart your computer:

   M2052: Bad protocol.ini - Driver Name not found PRO4AT$.
   M2010: Driver conf error - Error when loading

CAUSE

This problem is caused by incorrect settings in the PROTOCOL.INI file. The PROTOCOL.INI file has the following section

   [MS$PRO1347]
   DriverName=PRO4$
   IRQ=<xx>

   -or-

   [MS$PRO1346]
   DriverName=PRO4$
   IRQ=<xx>

where <xx> is the IRQ value.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, edit the [MS$PRO1347] or [MS$PRO1346] section and change the IRQ= entry to INtLevel=. For example

   [MS$PRO1347]
   DriverName=PRO4$
   INtLevel=<xx>

where <xx> is the IRQ value.
