Article ID: Q132815

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

Windows 95 may stop responding (hang) during a server-based installation on an EISA computer using a NetBEUI connection. You may receive an error message on a blue screen after the first reboot at the Setting Up Hardware screen.

CAUSE

The configuration manager is turning NetBEUI off dynamically during the installation process, and causing the network connection to be lost.

RESOLUTION

Restart the computer and allow Setup to continue. Setup should continue and finish correctly. The computer is set up correctly and will run correctly. This problem has no effect on the setup process.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 95. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
