Card is not installed or is in the wrong slot.
Otherwise, it is not being recognized by C&SS
or the enabler, or the enabler is not loaded.
Make sure the Ethernet frame type in
NET.CFG is the same as in your network.
Try a different interrupt (IRQ) in the range of
3, 4, 5, 7 (sometimes), 9, 1, 11, 12, or 15.
The LSL must be loaded in order for
FEM556OD.COM (ODI) to work.
A Terminate-and-Stay-Resident file was
loaded after FEM556OD.COM.
An expected resource is not, such as an I/O
window at the PORT address in NET.CFG.
NET.CFG contains parameter entries known
as Keywords, one of which was not
recognized. Check Keywords in NET.CFG.
Legal frame types:
802.3,
FRAME ETHERNET_
FRAME ETHERNET_SNAP.
Try to make more resources available (BIOS)
Try to force Enabler to use a different IRQ
(possibly found by CONFIG), for example:
FMENABLE IRQ=A
Where A is the hexadecimal value of 10.
Verify the EMM386.EXE exclusion setting in
CONFIG.SYS.
Make sure CONFIG.SYS supports enough
logical drives for the network. Add the line
LASTDRIVE=Z
to CONFIG.SYS.
Check the NET.CFG settings.
