Windows 95 v3.06 Microsoft Windows* 95 for Intel's EtherExpress(TM) PRO/10 ISA LAN Adapter ========================================================================= LOCATION OF DRIVER: \NT\EPRO.SY_ LOCATION OF SETUP FILE: \NETEPRO.INF General Instructions -------------------- Current versions of the PRO/10 ISA LAN adapter support Plug and Play, and this feature is enabled by default on the adapter. Since Windows 95 automatically installs drivers for Plug and Play adapters, you are ready to run Windows 95. If you currently have Windows 95 installed ------------------------------------------ 1 Install the adapter in the computer and turn on the power. Have the Windows 95 CD ROM available, as you will need it to copy additional files. While Windows 95 is starting, it will detect the new hardware. It will prompt you with a choice of which driver to install. To install the latest driver and Intel's Windows-based adapter diagnostic program, choose the option "Driver from disk provided by hardware manufacturer". Insert the PRO/10 adapter disk into the drive and indicate A:\ for location of the driver. 2 Windows 95 will indicate it is configuring the Intel EtherExpress(TM) PRO/10 (PnP Enabled) adapter. It will configure the adapter with two default protocols - IPX/SPX compatible Protocol and NetBEUI. Note If Windows 95 doesn't automatically recognize the adapter, Plug and Play may be disabled on the adapter, or you may have the older version (non Plug and Play) of the PRO/10 adapter. See Hints and Tips section for more information. 3 Windows 95 will copy additional files to support the adapter. Select "Yes" when prompted to restart your computer for the changes to take effect. 4 To configure your workstation in the network a select "My Computer" icon; b open the "Control Panel" c open "Network" icon from the Control Panel window d To share files and printers on this workstation, choose "File and Print Sharing" e Select the Identification tab and enter a unique Computer Name and the name of your new or existing workgroup, then choose "OK". If you haven't installed Windows 95 ----------------------------------- 1 With the PRO/10 adapter installed in the machine, Windows 95 will automatically install and configure the PRO/10 adapter with the driver that ships with Windows 95. This driver is older than the driver provided on the PRO/10 SW Release 3.5 diskette. Intel recommends you install the latest driver from the PRO/10+ ISA disk, SW Release 3.5 or greater. Warning: If you select the Setup Option of CUSTOM, and select Hardware Detection, Windows 95 will list the PRO/10 adapter. Delete all components listed, so that no network is installed. continue with your installation and when you reboot Windows 95 it will detect new hardware and you can install the latest driver from the PRO/10 disk. Otherwise, if you choose to install the drier during Customer installation, it can result in a General Protection Fault. 2 The advanced features of the PRO/10+ are full duplex support and power management. When you install the updated driver from the SW Release #3.5 (or greater), you also install Intel's Windows-based diagnostic program, which works for all PRO/10 adapters. There are two methods to install these updates: a) Do not install the adapter in the PC until Windows 95 is completely installed. Once it is installed, power off the computer and install the PRO/10 adapter. Then, follow the directions as outlined in the "If you currently have Windows 95 installed" section. b) If the PRO/10 was in your computer while Windows 95 was installed, the older driver will automatically install. To update the driver, there are a number of steps involved: 1) Remove the older driver by selecting "My Computer" icon, "Control Panel" then "Network". Highlight Intel EtherExpress PRO/10 adapter and click on Remove, then OK to save the change. When Windows 95 prompts you to restart your computer for changes to take effect, choose "No", and go to step number 2. 2) Delete the driver database files that associate the PRO/10 with the older driver. These two files will automatically be generated again later in the process. - Click on "My Computer" icon - Click on C drive icon - Click on "View" from the top menu bar - Select "Options" - Click on "View" tab - Select "Show all files" button and click on "OK". - In your C drive, click on your Windows 95 folder or directory (Windows is the default folder) - Select INF folder - Delete two files, DRVDATA.BIN and DRVIDX.BIN 3) Shut down and restart Windows 95. It will detect the PRO/10 adapter, and prompt you with a choice of which driver to install. To install the latest driver and Intel's Windows-based adapter diagnostic program, choose the option "Driver from disk provided by hardware manufacturer". Insert the PRO/10+ ISA LAN adapter disk into the drive and indicate A:\ for location of driver. 4) Follow the instructions on the screen, and when prompted, restart the system. Troubleshooting Tips ==================== 1 INTEL ETHEREXPRESS PRO (0000) IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY........ If Windows 95 fails to detect or initialize the EtherExpress PRO/10 adapter, you will get this error message when starting Windows 95: "Your network adapter Intel EtherExpress PRO/10 (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: If you have installed the driver from the SW Release # 3.0 diskette, you will have Intel's Windows-based diagnostic program. To access it, select "My Computer" icon, "Control Panel", then "System" Icon. Click on the "Device Manager" tab. Double click on the Intel EtherExpress PRO/10+ device (you may need to expand the Network adapters section of this list for it to appear). Answer Yes to use the Intel Setup. Perform the diagnostics as directed. If you have only one PRO/10 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 PRO/10 adapter are correct by running SOFTSET2.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 SoftSet2 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 PRO/10 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) If you don't have Intel's Windows-based diagnostic program installed, verify that the EtherExpress PRO/10 adapter passes all diagnostic tests by running SoftSet2 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 PRO/10 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 PRO/10 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 PRO/10 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 PRO/10" from the Network Components list, and choose "REMOVE". This will remove the Intel EtherExpress PRO/10 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 have multiple Intel PRO adapters installed in the system, be sure to install and run PROSet. It will automatically detect that you have multiple adapters and update the EID (Ethernet ID) field, which is required by Windows 95 for card identification. Background: If multiple network adapters are installed in a Windows 95 system each card must be identified by the last 8 digits of the Ethernet address. However, Windows 95 requires decimal numbers which makes it necessary to perform a hex to decimal conversion. For example, an adapter with the Ethernet address of 00AA00123456 would require putting 1193046 as the Ethernet ID value (00123456 converted to decimal is 1193046). Windows calculator, in scientific mode, is a tool you can use for the conversion if you have a need to do it manually. 3 If you're using real mode drivers (NDIS 2 or ODI) in Windows 95, and you're experiencing problems loading the driver, make sure you are using the drivers that ship on SW Release #3.0 or above. Since these drivers load while the Windows 95 splash screen is activated, the updated drivers will interrupt the splash screen if there is a problem loading, and display appropriate error messages. For more information on using these drivers, refer to readme installation notes on that driver - DOS ODI client or NDIS Driver Notes. 4 To run diagnostics or change advanced options of the PRO/10+ adapter within Windows 95, use the PRO adapter setup program which is accessed through "My Computer", "Control Panel" and "System" icon. Select "Network adapters" then Intel EtherExpress PRO/10, and accept Yes to use Intel Setup program. 5 If you are not successful in seeing the network, try forcing frame type when TCP/IP 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. 6 If Windows 95 doesn't automatically recognize your adapter, either Plug and Play is disabled on your adapter, or you have an earlier, non Plug and Play version of the PRO/10 adapter. Run SoftSet2 and from the main menu, choose "View Adapter Configuration". If the Controller Version reports 82595TX stepping 3 or 82595FX, you have a Plug and Play adapter. From the main SoftSet2 menu, select Change Adapter Configuration, then Advanced Configuration Menu, and enable Plug and Play. 7 If the Controller Version reports 82595TX stepping 2, the adapter doesn't support Plug and Play. You will need to configure the adapter manually in Windows 95. Follow the steps below: a) Using SoftSet2, configure and test the EtherExpress PRO/10 adapter before adding it to Network Setup in Windows 95. You must boot the workstation with DOS, then insert the EtherExpress PRO/10 LAN Adapter diskette into drive A. At the DOS prompt type A:SOFTSET2 b) Select "AUTOMATIC SETUP" to let SoftSet2 configure the EtherExpress PRO/10 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 PRO/10 to use. c) Select "Test Adapter" from the main menu to test the configuration you have selected. If the EtherExpress PRO/10 adapter fails diagnostics it may not function correctly under Windows 95. NOTE: SoftSet2 is a DOS program and will not run in Windows 95. You must run SoftSet2 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 PRO/10 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 not available (or you have chosen to disable it) on the adapter, select Intel EtherExpress PRO/10+. 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 PRO/10+ Properties window, specify the Configuration Type as "Base Configuration 0", then select the Interrupt and I/O Address range that you set the EtherExpress PRO/10 adapter to using SoftSet2, 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.
