explanation and recommended action are included with each message.
PCNTND-23 WARNING: PCNET IRQ found = xx
Explanation: The interrupt request (IRQ) setting (xx) in the PROTOCOL.INI file does not
match the hardware IRQ setting.
Action:
Remove the IRQ setting from the PROTOCOL.INI file or change the IRQ setting in
the PROTOCOL.INI file to match the IRQ setting shown in the PCI Slot/Device Information
selection of the Advanced Setup menu in the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
PCNTND-24 WARNING: PCNET IRQ does not match PROTOCOL.INI.
Explanation: The interrupt request (IRQ) setting in the PROTOCOL.INI file does not match
the hardware IRQ setting.
Action:
Remove the IRQ setting from the PROTOCOL.INI file or change the IRQ setting in
the PROTOCOL.INI file to match the IRQ setting shown in the PCI Slot/Device Information
selection of the Advanced Setup menu in the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
PCNTND-25 PCI scan specified, PCI bus not found!
Explanation: The driver cannot locate the PCI bus.
Action: Run the diagnostic programs.
PCNTND-29 WARNING: DMA number is not necessary for PCI device.
Explanation: The Ethernet controller does not require a DMA setting.
Action: Remove the DMA setting in the PROTOCOL.INI file.

Table 22. NDIS (Windows NT) driver messages for the Ethernet controller.
PermaNet Server: No Secondary Adapter Found. Grouping Mode is disabled.
Explanation: The failover option requires an adapter that is compatible with the device driver
of the Ethernet controller. No such adapter was found.
Action:
Make sure that the correct adapter is installed.
PermaNet Server: Problem Occurs on the Primary Adapter. Switching over to the Secondary Adapter.
Explanation: The system detected a problem with the primary Ethernet connection and has
transferred all network traffic to the secondary Ethernet controller.
Action:
Identify the cause of the failure on the primary Ethernet connection. Restoring the
operational state of the primary connection will cause the network traffic to automatically
transfer to the primary Ethernet controller.
PermaNet Server: Switching back to Primary Adapter.
Explanation: The primary Ethernet connection is now operating correctly. Network traffic
will automatically transfer to the primary Ethernet controller.
Action:
None needed; message is for information only.
