Why do I get a network error when docking for the first time?
If you have installed Windows 95A on the OmniBook 2000/5700 it is possible to see
a network error if a new docked configuration is created at the same time a new
network card is installed. This is due to a bug in the Windows 95 network (NDIS)
driver. This problem has been resolved in Windows 95B OEM Service Release 2. To
recover do the following:
1. Click OK, and reboot the OmniBook.
2. Double-click My Computer, Control Panel, System.
3. Click the Device Manager tab and find the device you installed.
4. Select the card, then click Remove.
5. Reboot the OmniBook.
6. Double-click My Computer, Control Panel, Add New Hardware.
7. Follow the prompts to reinstall your network card. It is possible to see this same
error if the OmniBook is docked and then undocked within 30 seconds. Always
wait more than one minute between docking and undocking your OmniBook.
How do I undock in Windows 95?
When you dock the OmniBook, the Suspend option on the Start menu is changed
to Eject PC. Use this to eject the OmniBook from the docking system. If you are
having trouble undocking, shut down Windows 95 then undock the OmniBook
using the front button on the left side of the docking system. It has a picture of a
lock next to it.
