My computer reports a
conflict at the default I/O
Base Address of 270. I
have changed the I/O
Address to a new value, but
the card still does not work.
You may not have set the dip switch
to correspond to the new I/O Base
Address you assigned to the card.
Each time you change the I/O Base
Address in the adapter's properties
screen, you must also reconfigure
the dip switches on the back of the
card.

The RangeLAN2 driver loads
successfully, but I can't
communicate with the
network.
You may not be synchronized with
an Access Point or another
RangeLAN2 device configured as a
Master, or you may not be in range.
Run the RangeLAN2 Site Survey &
Configuration Tool to determine if you
are in range. Also confirm that you
have the same Domain and Security
ID as the other RangeLAN2 devices
on your network.

Appendix B
I have looked at the list of
resources used by computer
and there are no free IRQs.
What can I do?
Most resource conflicts are caused
by a shortage of IRQs. If all IRQs
are in use, try settings the card to
IRQ 3 or 4, which are typically
reserved for COM ports, even when
the COM port is not in use.
However, if you are actively using
the COM ports or other devices are
actively using these IRQs, you will
need to remove one of the devices
from your computer to make an IRQ
available for the 7100 card.
