SUMMARY

After you install a Thomas Conrad TC4145 Token Ring adapter on a computer running Windows NT, the following error is returned:

   The TCC Token Ring Driver service failed to start due to the
   following error:
   The device attached to the system is not functioning.

MORE INFORMATION

This problem occurs when you use the driver supplied by Thomas Conrad with the TC4145. This is a Plug and Play (PnP) adapter, and PnP must be turned off before the driver will work properly in Windows NT. Use the QSET4145 utility supplied with the adapter--specifically, the -B=D -T=1 switches. This will turn off the PnP boot active and the PnP functionality.
