The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q134561

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.
