DCA Irmatrak Network Card and Windows 3.0 (71135)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.0
- Microsoft Windows 3.0a
This article was previously published under Q71135 SYMPTOMS
If you run Microsoft Windows version 3.0 in enhanced mode on a Novell
network with a DCA Irmatrak Token ring board, you may not be able to see
files on a network drive within File Manager, and the print servers may not
show up when you select the network printers in Control Panel.
This information applies to Microsoft Windows version 3.0, and 3.0a. This
information does not apply to later versions of Windows.
CAUSE
This is a known problem with the DCA Network drivers supplied with the
card.
WORKAROUND
There are two methods you can use to work around these problems:
- Run Windows in standard or real mode.
-or-
- Disable the DMA for the Network card.
To disable the DMA, you need to run the JUMPERS utility. JUMPERS is
a Novell shareware utility that allows you to change the IPX.COM
without rerunning SHELLGEN. (SHELLGEN is a Novell utility for
generating IPX.COM. It allows you to specify the type of network
card and its configuration.) JUMPERS is located on the Installation
and Configuration disk that comes with the DCA board. To run the
JUMPERS utility, type jumpers ipx.com from the MS-DOS prompt and then select none for DMA.
