This article was previously published under Q186217 SYMPTOMS
When you install Windows NT on an IBM ThinkPad 760EL or XL, along with a
SelectaDock II docking station and a 3COM 3c509 card, autodetection of the
network adapter fails.
CAUSE
The cause is that the SelectaDock II docking station has a new PCI-to-PCI
bridge that uses I/O address 100-110, which is also the default address of
the 3C509 card. When the detection software does not see a 3C509 card at
I/O address 100-100, it assumes there are no cards in the computer and does
not continue looking for them at different addresses.
RESOLUTIONTo resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT 4.0 or Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the
