  • Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you are using a Proteon P1346 TokenRing network adapter, you may encounter errors with the network adapter or experience network problems.

CAUSE

Some models of the Proteon P1346 network adapter do not function correctly with Windows 95. These network adapters were shipped without EPROMs.

RESOLUTION

You may be able to resolve this issue by setting a jumper labeled PHROM on the network adapter. With this jumper enabled, the network adapter looks for initialization information in a file called Prorapm.dwn. This file must be located in the folder from which you start the network software.

Note that this procedure may or may not work. If this procedure does not work, obtain an updated network adapter from the manufacturer, or contact the manufacturer to inquire about obtaining the necessary EPROM to update the network adapter.
