Windows NT 4.0 v1.00 Windows NT* 4.0 installation notes for Intel's EtherExpress(TM) 10 ISA LAN Adapter ====================================================================== Location of Driver: \NT\EX10NT.SY_ (compressed) Location of Setup file: \NT\OEMSETUP.INF Prerequisites ------------- Before installing the driver, be sure to run the EtherExpress 10 ISA adapter EX10Set program to configure the adapter and to verify that the diagnostic test passes. If you are using multiple EtherExpress 10 ISA adapters in the same PC, you need to write down the configuration of each 10 ISA adapter. This includes the I/O Port address setting, Interrupt, and Ethernet ID (MAC Address) for each adapter. General Instructions -------------------- 1 The EtherExpress 10 ISA adapter should be configured and tested prior to setting it up in Windows NT. You can configure the adapter with EX10SET.EXE. EX10Set cannot be run under Windows NT, you must boot to DOS. 2 In NT, double click the My Computer icon. 3 In My Computer, double click the Control Panel icon 4 In Control Panel, double click the Network icon. 5 Select the Adapters tab and click Add. 6 A list of available adapters will be displayed. Click on Have Disk. 7 Insert the EtherExpress 10 ISA LAN Adapter Driver disk into drive A. From the Insert Disk window, specify the path to the EtherExpress 10 ISA driver as: A:\NT 8 From the Select OEM Option window, select Intel EtherExpress 10 ISA Adapter and click OK. 9 Specify I/O Base Address that the EtherExpress 10 ISA adapter is using. For example, if the EtherExpress 10 ISA adapter was set to I/O Address 300h, select 0x300. Note: If you're not sure what the I/O Port address should be, make a selection here and after Windows NT installation is complete, run EX10SET.EXE from the EtherExpress 10 ISA adapter disk and select View Configuration to make sure that it is correct. 10 From the Network window, select the Identification tab. 11 Specify a unique Computer Name, then specify and the name of the Workgroup or Domain that you belong to. Select Close. 12 Windows NT will perform the binding process. If any additional network software options were installed, you may be prompted for specific information about settings for those protocols. 13 When prompted to restart your computer in order for the changes to take effect, select Yes. Hints and Tips -------------- * At Least One Device or Driver Failed During System Startup: If Windows NT fails to detect or initialize the EtherExpress 10 ISA adapter, you will get this error message in the Event Viewer: "The Intel EtherExpress 10 ISA LAN Adapter Driver service failed to start due to the following error: A device attached to the system is not functioning. " Try these steps: 1 Verify that the I/O address that you specified for the EtherExpress 10 ISA is correct by running EX10SET.EXE and selecting Custom from the menu. If the I/O address is different than the value you specified when installing Windows NT, select the I/O address from the menu and change it to match the I/O Port Address settings in Windows NT. 2 Verify that the I/O address and/or interrupt being used by the EtherExpress 10 ISA are not being used by any other device in your workstation, like a sound card, faxmodem, scanner, tape backup, serial ports, parallel ports, etc. Look at the documentation or setup programs for the other installed adapters in your computer to verify what I/O address and interrupts they are using. Some sound cards use multiple interrupts and I/O addresses. For example, a typical sound card will use an I/O address of 220 and IRQ 5 for the sound port and an I/O address of 330 and IRQ 11 for the MIDI/Joystick port. 3 Verify that the EtherExpress 10 ISA passes all diagnostic tests by running EX10SET.EXE from DOS and selecting DIAG. If the EtherExpress 10 ISA adapter fails diagnostics it will not function correctly under Windows NT. If diagnostics fail, try setting the EtherExpress 10 ISA to a different I/O address or a different interrupt. * Adapter passes diagnostics but still does not work with Windows NT If the adapter passes diagnostics but still does not work with Windows NT, there could be a problem with your Windows NT network configuration. If you've made several attempts to configure Windows NT or had another adapter installed before the EtherExpress 10 ISA LAN adapter, it may be necessary to change the Windows NT Network setup to the default settings and reinstall the EtherExpress 10 ISA LAN driver. Here's how: 1 Choose the Network icon in Control Panel, select the Adapters tab. 2 Highlight the Intel EtherExpress 10 ISA Adapter and click Remove. 3 From the Network Settings window, click OK. 4 Windows NT will have to reset for the changes to take effect. When prompted, select Yes. 5 Reinstall the EtherExpress 10 ISA LAN adapter following the General Installation steps above. * Third-party trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
