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.
