Err Msg with WinLAN Card: The Device Does Not Exist on the...

• Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11
• Microsoft Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS version 3.11

SYMPTOMS

When you try to connect to a network resource using a WinLAN network card by Apexx Technology, the following error message is displayed:

   The device does not exist on the network.

CAUSE

The network resource that you are trying to connect to does not have a unique network address. WinLAN cards require that a unique network address be set through Network Setup.

RESOLUTION

To correct the error message, do the following:

1. Open the Network Setup icon.

2. Choose the Drivers button, then choose the Setup button.

3. Choose the Advanced button, then choose the Configuration button. (This opens the Network Address dialog box.)

4. Make sure that the Network Address setting is unique for the network.

   All cards default to address 4 during the setup process; therefore, you need to change the number. Valid selections are from 4 to 254. Save your selection and then restart your computer.
