The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.5
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.51
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.5
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.51
This article was previously published under Q137695 SYMPTOMS
When you run Windows NT Setup on your computer with a Proteon 1390 Token
Ring adapter installed, errors appear during the initialization of the
Proteon 1390 Token Ring adapter and the adapter initialization fails.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, do one of the following:
- If you do not plan to set up Windows NT Server as a backup domain
controller (BDC):
Ignore the errors during Setup and continue with the installation.
The driver functions properly after you reboot your computer in spite
of the errors during Setup.
-or- - If you plan to set up Windows NT as a BDC:
It is necessary that your adapter initializes during Setup so it can
contact the primary domain controller (PDC) for security purposes.
For this reason, temporarily install another supported Token Ring
adapter before you run Windows NT Setup. After Windows NT is
installed, replace the existing adapter and driver with the Proteon
1390 adapter.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT versions 3.5
and 3.51. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
