Troubleshooting Chapter 4 - Troubleshooting Introduction This chapter provides a number of examples of Questions (Q:), Causes (C:), and Answers (A:). If your Ethernet PC card is not working properly, look up the solution here; if unsuccessful, call Tech Support (see Chapter 5). Q:The Card Service does not enable my card. When I run LANEN, the error message displays Fail to enable PC card. Why? C:No memory space to map the attribute memory of PCMCIA card. A:If memory management software e.g.
Troubleshooting Q:How do you enable the FAST Ethernet PC card? A:1.The Fast Ethernet PC Card can be enabled by the Card Service installed in the laptop directly. The drivers associated with the card in the driver diskette can be run over Card Service directly. 2.In case the Card Service cannot enable the PCMCIA card, you can run LANEN to enable it. Q:How do you make the card work under Systemsoft Card Service? A:1.Copy across the LE100.CLB file. Copy FROM A:\PCMCIA\CARDSOFT\LE100.CLB TO C:\CARDSOFT\LE100.
Troubleshooting Lan1MemoryBase1=D0 Lan1MemoryBase2=D4 Lan2Port=320 Lan2IRQ=11 Lan2MemoryBase1=D8 Lan2MemoryBase2=DC You may change the Lan1Port or Lan1IRQ to another value (e.g. Lan1Port=320, Lan1IRQ=11) to request Cardsoft allocate the resources you wanted. 4.If the resources cannot allocate properly, you may run \CARDSOFT\CONFIG or edit \CARDSOFT\CSALLOC.INI directly to set the system resources available for allocation. The file content of CSALLOC.
Troubleshooting Q:How do you make the card work under Phoenix Socket/Card Service? A:Add a card to PCM. Once the card is added, you may use PCM to modify the resources requested for the card. 1.Insert the PC Card into the computers PCMCIA slot with the 68-pin connector facing the PCMCIA slot and the label facing up and slide the card into the slot. 2.Execute PCM.EXE supported by Phoenix PCM. 3.Select the socket by the PageUp, Page Down keys. 4.Choose Configure item by ALT-C. 5.
Troubleshooting 2.Press OK until you get to the main menu. 3.Select the Cards option and choose Edit. 4.Select right Socket and press Enter If you already have a device in the Defined box called LE100, go to step (11). 5.Select New Device under the Defined devices box. 6.Edit the new device to be named LE100. 7.Select IO range 1 Base (Hex) = 320, Length = 32 (16 bit). 8.Do not alter MEM range 1 or 2. 9.Select IRQ level 11. Select OK to make changes. 10.
Troubleshooting If you still have problems with CARDWARE software try to replace your CARDWARE.INI file with the one supplied on the Ethernet Adapter Drivers Disk. In DOS mode, you may use PCCARD /D or DOSCARD /D command to check the resources allocated for the card. Q:How can the ODI driver run successfully but fail to login to the Netware server? C:Frame type incompatible with server or Interrupt mismatch. A:1.The default frame type for Netware 3.11 is 802.3 but changed to 802.2 in Netware 4.x and 3.12.
