SYMPTOMS
When you install a Thomas Conrad TC4045 Token Ring network adapter, the
adapter is detected properly but may not function because it is assigned
the wrong resources.
CAUSE
Windows 95 assigns the factory default IRQ and DMA channel resources for
this network adapter, which may conflict with other device settings.
Windows 95 assigns a correct base I/O address for the adapter.
RESOLUTION
To assign the correct IRQ and DMA channel resources for the TC4045 network
adapter, follow these steps:
- In Control Panel, double-click the System icon.
- On the Device Manager tab, click Computer, and then click the
Properties button.
- Click the Interrupt Request (IRQ) option button, and note an available
IRQ setting.
- Click the Direct Memory Access (DMA) option button, and note an
available DMA setting.
- Click Cancel.
- Double-click the Network Adapters branch to open it, click the TC4045
adapter, and then click Properties.
- On the Resources tab, click the Use Automatic Settings check box to
clear it.
- In the Resource Settings box, click Interrupt Request. Click Change
Setting, and then enter the IRQ setting you noted in step 3. Click
OK.
- Repeat step 8 for the DMA channel setting. Click OK until you return
to Control Panel.
