5. Go to the icon for Network Adapters. You might see a yellow or red circle with
an exclamation point inside beside an entry for the IBM Turbo 16/4 Token-Ring
PC Card 2. If you see this, click the entry. This will take you to the properties
dialog for the PC Card.
6. Click the Resources tab of the dialog box. There are three resources that must
be correct before the IBM Turbo 16/4 Token-Ring PC Card 2 will function
correctly. Acceptable values for the input/output range include any four
consecutive values beginning at 0300. The interrupt request value should be a
value between 3 and 15 that does not conflict with any other devices. The
memory range is often set incorrectly by Windows 95. It is recommended that
the memory range be set in the 000D0000 to 000DC000 in a non-conflicting
memory region. The memory range 000C0000 to 000CFFFF is often used for
video caches and Windows 95 does not always exclude memory regions that
are already in use.
7. If EMM386.EXE is in your CONFIG.SYS, comment it out.
Windows NT
Windows NT 3.51 and 4.0 use a point enabler called PCMCIA.SYS that is supplied
with Windows NT. PCMCIA.SYS configures the Intel compatible socket controller
with settings gleaned from the registry entry for the PC Card. Windows NT will
indicate resource conflicts only after an attempt is made to configure a device. As
when using a DOS enabler, you must manually choose your PC Card resources. By
looking at the event viewer in the administrative tools, you might find that there is
an I/O, IRQ, or memory conflict. A program called WINMSD is included with
Windows NT which allows you to see the resources of your machine and determine
if there are any conflicts. Make a note of your configured resources and compare
them to the settings indicated by WINMSD. Make corrections to your configuration
as needed. This is done by the following procedure:
1. Right-click Network Neighborhood.
2. Select Properties.
3. Select the Adapter tab.
4. Select IBM Turbo 16/4 Token-Ring PC Card 2 and click Properties.
You can now change your configuration as needed.
Windows 2000
Windows 2000 sometimes has trouble selecting available resources for the PC
Card, causing the PC Card not to function. If you find that your PC Card is not
functioning, follow this procedure:
1. From the Control Panel, double-click the System icon. Select the Hardware
tab, and click the Device Manager button.
2. From the Device Manager, look for a yellow or red circle with an exclamation
point beside an entry for the IBM Turbo 16/4 Token-Ring PC Card 2. If you see
this, then double-click the adapter. The properties dialog for the adapter will now
be displayed.
3. The device status window will tell you why the device is not functioning. You
might choose to try to resolve the problem yourself based on the problem
description, or Windows 2000 will help you solve the problem if you click the
Troubleshooter button.
