The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q164738 SYMPTOMS
When you are performing a shared installation of Windows 95 using an IBM
Token Ring Auto 16/4 ISA network adapter, Windows 95 may not connect to
the network during the real-mode to protected-mode network transition.
CAUSE
IBM Token Ring Auto 16/4 ISA network adapters with a microcode level
000700 PP1FA7 have a Plug and Play BIOS that cannot be disabled using the
Lanaid.exe configuration tool supplied by IBM.
RESOLUTION
You must disable the network adapter's Plug and Play BIOS in order for the
network transition to be successful.
Contact IBM Corporation for more information about this procedure.
MORE INFORMATION
In a local installation of Windows 95 with this adapter at this microcode
level, the results are that two IBM Token Ring Auto 16/4 ISA network
adapters are enumerated and listed in Device Manager. One of the devices
is listed as not working. Removing either device prevents the network
adapter from working properly; and on reboot the device is enumerated and
listed twice in Device Manager again.
