This section only discusses the problems that might be related to
configuration of the Intel adapter. For non-Intel related issues, consult
your PATHWORKS user's manual. These are the PATHWORKS
error codes (indicated by "percentage done"):
83 LOADING NDIS DRIVER...
86 LOADING NDIS DATA LINK...
89 PERFORMING NETBIND...
92 LOADING SCHEDULER...
93 LOADING DNP...
94 LOADING REDIRECTOR...

98 NETWORK LOADING COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY
Use /~# parameter when you run Pathworks SETUP. This will allow
you to see any error messages given by any driver that fails to load.
1 If you hang on error code 83%, the Intel NDIS driver failed to
load. Here are some possible reasons for the failure:
a Interrupt conflict - some machines use INT 5 for a sound
card. Change the ni_irq to 10 or 11 and make sure the INT
setting in the PROTOCOL.INI matches the M16ACFG.EXE
line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
b Some machines require you to change the default memory
setting. Try using CE00, c800, or d400. Make sure to make
the corresponding changes:
• in the mem parameter line in your PROTOCOL.INI,
• in the memory parameter of the M16ACFG.EXE line in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT,
• in the memory exclusion of the EMM386.EXE line in your
CONFIG.SYS.
Sample protocol.ini change:
MEM=0XD400
c Some machines require using the mode=io parameter. Add
mode=io to the Intel section in the PROTOCOL.INI and also
make sure it matches the M16ACFG line in step 3.
