Error the First Time You Start Computer with Novell NE3200

• Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

After you upgrade to Windows 95 with a Novell NE3200 network adapter, the first time that you restart the computer, you may receive the following error message: Your network adapter NE3200 or compatible (0000) is not working correctly. You may need to set it up again.

CAUSE

The error message described above seems to occur only when there is an EISA device present on the computer during setup, and when there are NDIS3 drivers. If the NE3200 card is added to an existing Windows 95 installation, this error message does not appear.

RESOLUTION

This error message does not adversely affect networking. If it appears, click the OK button and allow Setup to complete. The next time you start the computer, the error message does not appear and the card functions properly.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 95. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

The NE3200 network adapter is manufactured by Novell, Inc., a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
