5-8 CHAPTER 5: TROUBLESHOOTING
Troubleshooting Windows NT (NDIS 3)
Windows NT 3.51 and 4.0 use a point enabler called
PCMCIA.SYS that is supplied with Windows NT.
PCMCIA.SYS configures the Intel compatible socket
controller with settings gleaned from the registry entry for
the PC Card. Windows NT will indicate resource conflicts
only after an attempt is made to configure a device. As
when using a DOS enabler, you must manually choose
your PC Card resources. By looking at the event viewer in
the administrative tools, you might find that there is an
I/O, IRQ, or memory conflict. A program called WINMSD
is included with Windows NT which allows you to see the
resources of your machine and determine if there are
any conflicts. Make a note of your configured resources
and compare them to the settings indicated by WINMSD.
Make corrections to your configuration as needed. This is
done by the following procedure:
1 Right-click Network Neighborhood.
2 Select Properties.
3 Select the Adapter tab.
4 Select 3Com TokenLink Velocity PC Card and click
Properties.
You can now change your configuration as needed.
Running the Diagnostics Program
Use the diagnostics program on TokenDisk diskette #1 to
test the hardware components of the 3C389 PC Card.
The diagnostics program performs a series of tests and
displays the results of each one by showing success or
failure. An error during any test will end the test in
progress and display an error message and error code.
See the following tables for a description of error codes
and recommended actions.
