VII. NETWORK INTERFACE
Troubleshooting
If you can’t connect to a server, first try the suggestions here, then turn to the Trouble-
shooting section if necessary.
• Make sure you’re using the drivers for this interface. The driver filename contains
the letter B (for example, E100BODI.COM).
• If you’re replacing an existing adapter, make sure the LINK statement in your
NET.CFG is correct for the new interface or adapter. For example, the LINK state-
ment for a NetWare client should be: “LINK DRIVER E100BODI”
• Verify that the frame type in your NET.CFG file matches your network.
• If setting up a server, check your LOAD and BIND statements.
• Test the interface by running diagnostics in Setup. Additional testing is available
by using a responder.
• Check the README files.
Responder testing on the network (optional)
Setup can test the interface more thoroughly if you have a responder on the network
while running the tests.
1. Go to a computer on the network with any EtherExpress adapter or interface in-
stalled (except EtherExpress 32 or EtherExpress 16 MCA).
2. Run the appropriate configuration program for the installed interface and set it up
as a responder.
3. Return to the computer with the new adapter or interface. Run Setup and make the
new interface the sender. Test the interface.
Windows NT Server or Workstation
Automatic configuration
Some computers automatically detect and configure adapters or interfaces while boot-
ing. The network interface’s IRQ level and I/O address are automatically set by the
BIOS each time you start your computer.
Start your computer to automatically configure the network interface. Configuration is
complete when Windows NT starts or the DOS prompt appears.
If your computer displays an error while booting, it may require additional steps to
configure.
Install network drivers - Windows NT Version 4.0 only
After starting Windows NT, you need to install the device drivers. Have the Windows
NT CD-ROM disk available for this procedure.
