ID: Q146090

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.5, 3.51
Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5, 3.51

SYMPTOMS

After you install the Proteon ProNET-4/16 p1394 Token Ring adapter, the following error message appears when you start Windows NT:

The dependency service or group failed to start.
This error prevented the network from starting.

In addition, the following system events appear in the Event Viewer:

Event ID: 5001 Pronet : Could not allocate the resources necessary for operation. Action : The driver failed to load, because it tried to allocate too many resources. Decrease the number of receive and/or transmit buffers and retry the operation.

Event ID: 5003 Pronet : Could not find an adapter. Action : The adapter could not be found by the MAC driver. Check I/O base settings and retry the operation.

CAUSE

The driver provided by Proteon is an NDIS driver and not a miniport driver. In addition, the network adapter does not use IBM Shared Memory area.

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, run the Proteon Configuration Utility software in MS-DOS and select No IBM Registers in Advanced Settings.
