SYMPTOMS
When you set up Windows 95, Windows 95 will not install more than one
PCMCIA network adapter correctly.
CAUSE
The Windows 95 32-bit socket drivers are not enabled.
RESOLUTION
Install the Windows 95 32-Bit PCMCIA Socket drivers. To do so, follow these
steps:
- Double-click My Computer.
- Double-click Control Panel.
- Start the 32-bit PC Card (PCMCIA) wizard, and follow the instructions
on the screen.
MORE INFORMATION
Windows 95 setup preserves the 16 bit network configuration of PCMCIA
devices. However the Windows95 network client only provides support for one
16 bit network. Because of this, only one PCMCIA network card will function
correctly until 32 bit pcmcia support is unenabled. To enable 32 bit
network support query on 'enable 32 bit PCMCIA'.
NOTE: Microsoft Windows 95 is specifically designed to detect and install
only one PCMCIA network card during setup. While it is possible to
install multiple PCMCIA network cards during setup manually, following the
steps above ensures the adapter works properly.
