SYMPTOMS
After you change the IRQ and I/O range of the Intel EtherExpress 16 network
adapter in Device Manager, only the IRQ changes on the network adapter.
CAUSE
Windows 95 is able to reassign the IRQ value on the network adapter, but
cannot alter the I/O value.
RESOLUTION
To change the I/O range, alter the value in Device Manager and then run
Intel's Softset.exe tool, which is included with the network adapter.
MORE INFORMATION
Windows 95 is able to reconfigure Plug and Play devices, but the Intel
EtherExpress 16 network adapter is a legacy device. Such legacy devices
require vendor-provided configuration programs to change the hardware-level
settings.
