The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11
  • Microsoft Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q111686

SYMPTOMS

Windows for Workgroups 3.11 automatic detection incorrectly identifies the Artisoft NodeRunner network adapter.

CAUSE

The NodeRunner network card works correctly with Microsoft Windows for Workgroups when it is configured as an NE2000-compatible card. The Artisoft NodeRunner network adapter card is self-configuring. Sometimes Windows for Workgroups detection does not properly recognize the card as being NE2000 compatible.

WORKAROUND

If this occurs, manually select the NE2000-compatible network card when you are setting up the network. This should allow the card to switch to NE2000- compatibility mode. If problems still exists, use the NodeRunner 2000 NRCONFIG.EXE or NRSETUP.EXE program to reconfigure the card.

For Windows 95, use the NRCONFIG.EXE tool to set the adapter to NE2000 or NE1000 mode.
