3c905 Network Adapter Does Not Install in Unattended Windows NT Installation (244994)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
This article was previously published under Q244994 SYMPTOMS
When you perform an unattended installation of Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0, Setup may not automatically detect the 3C905 Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) network adapter, and may therefore not install it.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur because the Oemsetup.inf file included with the network adapter does not have the appropriate settings for an unattended installation. You must modify the file before you begin the unattended installation.
RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, modify the Oemsetup.inf file:
- Before you modify the file, make a backup copy of the original
Oemsetup.inf file supplied by the OEM.
- Modify the original Oemsetup.inf file as follows:
Original Oemsetup.inf: [InstallOptions]
Install_dRMON = ''YES''
Install_3NIC_Diag = ''YES''
Install_PACE = ''YES''
Install_Shortcuts = ''YES''
Replace with:
[InstallOptions]
Install_dRMON = ''NO''
Install_3NIC_Diag = ''NO''
Install_PACE = ''NO''
Install_Shortcuts = ''NO''
Original Oemsetup.inf:
[Options]
3C90X
3C905
3C900
Replace with:
[Options]
3C905
Original Oemsetup.inf:

Original Oemsetup.inf:

3C90X = ''3Com Fast EtherLink/Etherlink XL PCI Busmaster NIC''
Replace with:

3C905 = ''3Com Fast EtherLink/Etherlink XL PCI Busmaster NIC''
- After you modify the Oemsetup.inf file, perform the unattended
installation of Windows NT Workstation 4.0.
