Last reviewed: September 8, 1995
Article ID: Q136407
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

The Accton MPX EN1652 NE2000-compatible network adapter in your computer may not be detected by Setup or the Add New Hardware Wizard.

CAUSE

This problem can occur if the network adapter is configured to use one of the following base I/O addresses:

  • 240
  • 280
  • 2C0

Although these are valid settings for the network adapter, Windows 95 does not query these addresses when it searches for NE2000-compatible network adapters.

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, use either of the following methods:

  • Manually install the Accton MPX EN1652 network adapter as an NE2000- compatible network adapter by following these steps:

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

          Panel.
    

    2. Double-click the Add New Hardware icon, and then click Next.

    3. Click the No option button, and then click Next.

    4. Double-click Network Adapters.

    5. In the Manufacturers box, click Novell/Anthem. In the Models box,

          click NE2000 Compatible.
    

    6. Click OK, and then click Next.

  • Use the configuration utility included with the network adapter to configure it to use one of the following valid base I/O addresses:

        - 300
        - 320
        - 340
        - 360
    

    After you configure the network adapter to use one of these base I/O addressed, run the Add New Hardware Wizard to install the network adapter.
