General Troubleshooting Tips
1. If there is not a link light on the card and the hub,
verify that your network cable is category 5 grade does-
n't exceed 100 meters (328 feet) in length, and that it is
properly connected to a 10BaseT or Fast Ethernet
100BaseTX hub.
2. If you are using Windows NT 4.0 and the EtherFast
10/100 + 56K Modem PC Card doesn't seem to
respond, make sure your system's services have been
started by clicking on Control Panel, Services, then
PCMCIA. To enable the PCMCIA services in NT, go to
page 78.
3. Windows NT is not a true Plug-and-Play operating
system. You should turn your computer off before
inserting or removing the EtherFast 10/100 + 56K
Modem PC Card.
4. When trying different IRQ and I/O values for the
EtherFast 10/100 + 56K Modem PC Card to use,
remember to use the same values for both the network
software driver as well as the socket and card services.
5.If the modem fails to initialize, change the COM and
IRQ settings for the modem. If you have the modem set
for COM3 and IRQ5 and you have a sound card in your
PC, you may experience conflicts.
NT users can run WINMSD from a DOS prompt to find
an open setting. Also, in most cases, NT users will have
to add the modem manually. See page 78 for detailed
instructions.
