HP PC LAN Adapters Not Listed in Network Client Version 3.0 (124997)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.5
- Microsoft Network Client for MS-DOS 3.0
This article was previously published under Q124997 SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to install the Hewlett-Packard (HP) PC LAN series adapter
drivers in the Network Client version 3.0 for MS-DOS Setup program, they
are not available in the list of network adapter drivers. These network
adapter drivers are shipped with the network operating system and are
located in the Windows NT Server version 3.5 CD.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because the HP PC LAN adapter drivers are commented out
in the NETWORK.INF, SETUP.INF, WCNET.INF and WCSETUP.INF files. WCNET.INF
and WCSETUP.INF files are pre-Setup files and NETWORK.INF and SETUP.INF are
post-Setup files.
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem:
- If you have not installed Network Client version 3.0 for MS-DOS, modify
the WCSETUP.INF file. If you have already installed Network Client,
modify the SETUP.INF file. In the [netdrivers] section, remove the
semicolon (;) in front of each line and save the file(s):
;1=,hplanb.dos,,hplanb.dos,
;1=,hplanp.dos,,hplanp.dos,
- If you have not installed Network Client version 3.0 for MS-DOS, modify
the WCNET.INF file. If you have already installed Network Client, modify
the NETWORK.INF file. In the following sections, remove the semicolons
(;) in front of each line and save the file:
