Setup Does Not Install 32-Bit Token Ring Network Components (130614)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q130614 SYMPTOMS
When you upgrade from a previous version of Windows to Windows 95, Setup
does not upgrade real-mode network components to protected-mode
components if the following conditions are met:
- You use ODI drivers with an IBM Token Ring card. Setup defaults
to the generic ODI driver.
-or-
- You use NDIS drivers with an IBM Token Ring card. Setup defaults
to an NDIS 2 driver.
For example, if you use Windows for Workgroups 3.11 with ODI drivers and
you upgrade to Windows 95, Setup does not upgrade the ODI drivers to the
Microsoft Network redirector (NWREDIR) and NDIS 3.1 network drivers.
CAUSE
Setup cannot distinguish between PCMCIA Token Ring cards, which require
16-bit network drivers, and other Token Ring cards that may be able to
use 32-bit network drivers. Setup defaults to 16-bit network drivers to
ensure that you can access your network.
RESOLUTION
If the network card you use supports 32-bit networking, install the 32-bit
network components manually.
