Troubleshooting Tips ==================== 1 INTEL ETHEREXPRESS 10 (0000) IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY........ If Windows 95 fails to detect or initialize the EtherExpress 10 ISA adapter, you will get this error message when starting Windows 95: "Your network adapter Intel EtherExpress 10 ISA (0000) is not working properly. You may need to set it up again. For more Information, see the Network Troubleshooting in Windows help." Try these steps: a) From within Windows 95: Select "My Computer" icon, "Control Panel", then "System" Icon. Click on the "Device Manager" tab. Click on Network Adapters. If you have only one 10 ISA adapter installed, but more than one listing for it, the invalid listing will have a yellow explanation mark. Remove the listing(s) and restart Windows 95. b) From DOS: Shut down Windows 95 and go to the DOS prompt. Verify that the I/O address and Interrupt you specified for the EtherExpress 10 ISA adapter are correct by running EX10SET.EXE and selecting "View Configuration". If the I/O address or Interrupt is different than the value specified in Windows 95, select "Change Adapter Configuration" from the EX10Set main menu and change the settings to match the settings in Windows 95. c) Verify that the I/O address and/or Interrupt being used by the EtherExpress 10 ISA adapter are not being used by any other device in your workstation like a sound card, faxmodem, scanner, tape backup, serial ports, parallel ports, etc. 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. Check the resources either by the individual devices' setup programs/documentation or through Windows 95 Device Manager. To access this information in Windows 95, click on "My Computer" icon, "Control Panel", then "System" Icon. Click on the "Device Manager" tab. For each device installed, double click on the item, then select the "Settings" or "Resources" tab at the top. d) Verify that the EtherExpress 10 ISA adapter passes all diagnostic tests by running EX10Set from DOS and selecting "Test Adapter". Exit to DOS by selecting the Start button on the bottom left of the screen, then Shut Down, and select Restart in MS-DOS mode. If the adapter fails diagnostics, it will not function correctly under Windows 95. If On-Board diagnostics fail, try setting the EtherExpress 10 ISA adapter to use a different I/O address, a different Interrupt, or change Force 8 bit to "YES". If On-Network diagnostics fail, there is likely a cable, connector, or hub problem. Verify that the cabling you are using is connected properly and that the cable is not defective. For more information on cable specifications, view the 10BaseT or COAX Ethernet cabling readme files on the EtherExpress 10 ISA LAN adapter and Options disk. 2 ADAPTER PASSES DIAGNOSTICS BUT STILL DOES NOT WORK WITH Windows 95. If the adapter passes diagnostics but still does not work with Windows 95, there could be a problem with network setup configuration. If you've made several attempts to configure network setup for Windows 95 or had another adapter installed before the EtherExpress 10 ISA adapter, it may be necessary to restore the Windows 95 network configuration to default settings and then reconfigure the Windows 95 network setup. Here's how: a) Choose the "My Computer" icon. b) Choose the "Control Panel" icon from the My Computer window. c) Choose the "Network" icon from the Control Panel window. d) Select the "Intel EtherExpress 10 ISA" from the Network Components list, and choose "REMOVE". This will remove the Intel EtherExpress 10 ISA adapter driver and all associated components from the Windows 95 network configuration. If any other Network Components remain, remove them. e) From the Network Configuration window, choose "OK" f) When Windows 95 finishes copying files and updating the network configuration, you will be prompted to restart your computer for the changes to take effect, choose "YES". g) After the workstation reboots, continue at step 1 of the "General Instructions" section of this document. Hints and Tips -------------- 1 If you decide to either disable or enable the Plug and Play feature of the adapter after it has been installed in Windows 95, you will need to remove any occurrence of that driver, and reinstall the driver. Windows 95 will treat it as two different devices, if the Plug and Play feature is changed. 2 If you are not successful in seeing the network, try forcing frame type when TCPIP is installed and using 802.3 to connect to a NetWare server. Also, in the identification screen, make sure the workgroup name is identical on each unit in that group. Be sure file sharing is enabled on at least one unit. 5 If Windows 95 doesn't automatically recognize your adapter, Plug and Play may be disabled on your adapter. Run EX10Set and from the main menu, choose "View Adapter Configuration". From the main EX10Set menu, select Change Adapter Configuration, then Advanced Options Menu, and enable Plug and Play. 6 If you choose not to have Plug and Play enabled, you will need to configure the adapter manually in Windows 95. Follow the steps below: a) Using EX10Set, configure and test the EtherExpress 10 ISA adapter before adding it to Network Setup in Windows 95. You must boot the workstation with DOS, then insert the EtherExpress 10 ISA LAN Adapter diskette into drive A. At the DOS prompt type A:EX10SET b) Select "AUTOMATIC SETUP" to let EX10Set configure the EtherExpress 10 ISA adapter to work in your computer, or select "Change Adapter Configuration" if you want to designate which Interrupt and I/O address you want the EtherExpress 10 ISA to use. c) Select "Test Adapter" from the main menu to test the configuration you have selected. If the EtherExpress 10 ISA adapter fails diagnostics it may not function correctly under Windows 95. NOTE: EX10Set is a DOS program and will not run in Windows 95. You must run EX10Set from DOS. If you already have Windows 95 installed on your computer, you can boot to DOS by inserting a DOS boot disk into your floppy disk drive A when rebooting, or you can select "RESTART THE COMPUTER IN MS-DOS MODE" from the Shut Down Windows menu in Windows 95. d) Restart the computer and load Windows 95. e) Open the "My Computer" icon. f) Open the "Control Panel" icon from the My Computer window. g) Open the "Network" icon from the Control Panel window. h) If you're replacing a previously installed LAN adapter, select the old adapter and choose "Remove". i) From the Configuration window, choose "ADD". j) From the Select Network Component Type window, select "ADAPTER" and choose "ADD". k) From the Select Network adapters window, click on "Have Disk". l) Insert the 10 ISA disk in drive A, and specify A:\. m) A new Select Network adapters window will appear. Two selections will be available. Since Plug and Play is disabled on the adapter, select Intel EtherExpress 10 ISA. The Network window will come up and show a list of the installed components. Windows 95 will add two default protocols - IPX/SPX compatible Protocol and NetBEUI. n) To share files and printers on this workstation, choose "FILE AND PRINT SHARING". o) From the Network Window, select the Identification tab and enter a unique Computer Name and the name of your new or existing workgroup, then choose "OK". p) From the EtherExpress 10 ISA Properties window, specify the Configuration Type as "Base Configuration 0", then select the Interrupt and I/O Address range that you set the EtherExpress 10 ISA adapter to using EX10Set, then choose "OK". q) When Windows 95 finishes copying files and updating the network configuration, you will be prompted to restart your computer for the changes to take effect, choose "YES". * Third-party trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
