Troubleshooting Network Installation
Windows NT 4.0 does not support plug and play resource assign-

installation files. If these settings do not work on your system, use
the following general guidelines to assist you. Contact Xircom
Customer Support if you are unable to resolve the issues.
Resource Conflict Symptoms
• After network installation the computer locks up on reboot.
• A Service Control message reports that a service or driver
did not start.
• The Xircom card initializes properly, but another hardware
device functions sporadically, the computer locks up ran-
domly or exhibits very slow network performance.
These symptoms are probably due to a resource conflict between
the Xircom card and another hardware device. Interrupt conflicts
are the most common. Open the Event Viewer to review errors
encountered during the boot process (Start, Programs, Administra-
tive Tools, Event Viewer). Double-click the bottom error message
to start reviewing. Identification of the device or service that failed
to start may help in pinpointing where the conflict lies.
Error messages reporting that the driver failed to start
because a device attached to the system is not functioning
may not involve the Xircom card. For example, an error is
sometimes displayed if a device not currently connected to
the computer is still listed as an installed component.
