DEC Turbo Port Addresses Appear Reported Incorrectly (122324)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.0
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.1
This article was previously published under Q122324 SYMPTOMS
Microsoft Systems Management Server appears to incorrectly report the
actual port address for DEC Turbo network cards.
CAUSE
DEC Turbo DE20x NICs support only a primary or secondary I/O port address.
Because of this, the DEC Turbo MAC driver needs only to configure the
drivers I/O port Registry entry for 0x1 or 0x2.
Systems Management Server reads the Registry entries for NIC drivers when
it collects hardware inventory. Because of the special configuration of DEC
Turbo NIC Registry entries, Systems Management Server reports the NIC I/O
port addresses as 0x1 or 0x2.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
versions 1.0 and 1.1. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
DEC Turbo network cards are manufactured by Digital Equipment Corporation,
a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or
otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
