Problems with Novell/Eagle NE200T PCMCIA Network Adapter

• Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you are using an NDIS2 MAC driver for a Novell/Eagle NE200T PCMCIA network adapter card in Windows 95, your computer may stop responding (hang) or have no network functionality.

CAUSE

This network adapter may require the real-mode enabler for the PCMCIA card services, or may require a different MAC driver to work properly.

RESOLUTION

• You may need to load the real-mode card and socket services drivers. Although the exact names of these drivers varies from one system to another, they typically appear as follows in the Config.sys file:

        device=c:\<path>\cs.exe
        device=c:\<path>\sscirrus.exe
        device=c:\<path>\csalloc.exe
  

  NOTE: You may be able to find references to the original real-mode drivers in the Config.dos file.

• These systems also typically require that the Novell ODI/NETX or VLM driver be installed for the network adapter. To change the driver type, follow these steps:

  1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control

        Panel.
  

  2. Double-click the Network icon.

  3. Click the Novell/Eagle NE200T PCMCIA network adapter, and then click

        Properties.
  

  4. On the Driver Type tab, click the Real Mode (16-bit) ODI Driver

        option button, and then click OK.
  

  5. Click OK. When you are prompted to do so, enter the location for the

        Novell files.
  

        NOTE: The necessary files should be on a drivers disk included with
        the network adapter, or you can obtain them from Novell.
  

  6. When you are prompted to restart the computer, do so.
