v3.05

LOCATION OF DRIVER: \WIN95\EPRO.VX_
LOCATION OF SETUP FILE: \NETPRO10.INF

Current versions of the EtherExpress™ PRO/10 LAN adapter support Plug and Play (PnP), and this feature is enabled by default on the adapter. Since Windows 95* automatically installs drivers for Plug and Play (PnP) adapters, you are ready to run Windows 95.

If you currently have Windows* 95 installed

1. Install the adapter in the computer and turn on the power. Have the Windows* 95 CD ROM available, as you will need it to copy additional files. While Windows* 95 is starting, it will detect the new hardware. It will prompt you with a choice of which driver to install. To install the latest driver and Intel's Windows-based adapter diagnostic program, choose the option "Driver from disk provided by hardware manufacturer". Insert the PRO/10 adapter disk into the drive and indicate A:\ for location of the driver.
   
   
2. Windows* 95 will indicate it is configuring the Intel EtherExpress™PRO/10 (PnP Enabled) adapter. It will configure the adapter with two default protocols - IPX/SPX compatible Protocol and NetBEUI.
   
   

   NOTE: If Windows* 95 doesn't automatically recognize the adapter, Plug and Play (PnP) may be disabled on the adapter, or you may have the older version (non PnP) of the PRO/10 adapter. See Hints and Tips section for more information.

3. Windows* 95 will copy additional files to support the adapter. Select "Yes" when prompted to restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
   
   
4. To configure your workstation in the network
   1. select "My Computer" icon;
   2. open the "Control Panel"
   3. open "Network" icon from the Control Panel window
   4. <optional> To share files and printers on this workstation, choose "File and Print Sharing"
   5. Select the Identification tab and enter a unique Computer Name and the name of your new or existing workgroup, then choose "OK".

1. With the PRO/10 adapter installed in the machine, Windows* 95 will automatically install and configure the PRO/10 adapter with the driver that ships with Windows 95. This driver is older than the driver provided on the PRO/10 SW Release v3.0 diskette. If you want to use the advanced features of the newer PRO/10+ adapter, and the diagnostic program, see step 2.

   WARNING: If you select the Setup Option of CUSTOM, and select Hardware Detection, Windows* 95 will list the PRO/10 adapter. Delete all components listed, so that no network is installed. Continue with your installation and when you reboot Windows* 95 it will detect new hardware and you can install the latest driver from the PRO/10 disk. Otherwise, if you choose to install the drier during Customer installation, it can result in a General Protection Fault.

2. The advanced features of the PRO/10+ are full duplex support and power management. When you install the updated driver from the SW Release v3.0 (or greater), you also install Intel's Windows-based diagnostic program, which works for all PRO/10 adapters. There are two methods to install these updates:
   1. Do not install the adapter in the PC until Windows* 95 is completely installed. Once it is installed, power off the computer and install the PRO/10 adapter. Then, follow the directions as outlined in the "If you currently have Windows 95 installed" section.
      
      
   2. If the PRO/10 was in your computer while Windows* 95 was installed, the older driver will automatically install. To update the driver, there are a number of steps involved:

1. Remove the older driver by selecting "My Computer" icon, "Control Panel" then "Network". Highlight Intel® EtherExpress™ PRO/10 adapter and click on Remove, then OK to save the change. When Windows* 95 prompts you to restart your computer for changes to take effect, choose "No", and go to step number 2.
   
   
2. Delete the driver database files that associate the PRO/10 with the older driver. These two files will automatically be generated again later in the process.
   • Click on "My Computer" icon
   • Click on C drive icon
   • Click on "View" from the top menu bar
   • Select "Options"
   • Click on "View" tab
   • Select "Show all files" button and click on "OK".
   • In your C drive, click on your Windows 95 folder or directory (Windows is the default folder)
   • Select INF folder
   • Delete two files, DRVDATA.BIN and DRVIDX.BIN
   
   
3. Shut down and restart Windows* 95. It will detect the PRO/10 adapter, and prompt you with a choice of which driver to install. To install the latest driver and Intel's Windows-based adapter diagnostic program, choose the option "Driver from disk provided by hardware manufacturer". Insert the PRO/10 adapter disk into the drive and indicate A:\ for location of driver.
   
   
4. Follow the instructions on the screen, and when prompted, restart the system.

1. Intel® EtherExpress™ Pro (0000) Is Not Working Properly........
   If Windows 95 fails to detect or initialize the EtherExpress PRO/10 adapter, you will get this error message when starting Windows 95:

   "Your network adapter Intel® EtherExpress™ PRO/10 (0000) is not working properly. You may need to set it up again. For more Information, see the Network Troubleshooting in Windows help."

   Try these steps:

   1. From within Windows* 95: If you have installed the driver from the SW Release v3.0 diskette, you will have Intel's Windows-based diagnostic program. To access it, select "My Computer" icon, "Control Panel", then "System" Icon. Click on the "Device Manager" tab. Double click on the Intel EtherExpress PRO/10+ device (you may need to expand the Network adapters section of this list for it to appear). Answer Yes to use the Intel Setup. Perform the diagnostics as directed.

      If you have only one PRO/10 adapter installed, but more than one listing for it, the invalid listing will have a yellow explanation mark. Remove the listing(s) and restart Windows 95.

   2. From DOS: Shut down Windows* 95 and go to the DOS prompt. Verify that the I/O address and Interrupt you specified for the EtherExpress™ PRO/10 adapter are correct by running SOFTSET2.EXE and selecting "View Configuration". If the I/O address or Interrupt is different than the value specified in Windows 95, select "Change Adapter Configuration" from the SoftSet2 main menu and change the settings to match the settings in Windows* 95.
      
      
   3. Verify that the I/O address and/or Interrupt being used by the EtherExpress™ PRO/10 adapter are not being used by any other device in your workstation like a sound card, faxmodem, scanner, tape backup, serial ports, parallel ports, etc. For example, a typical sound card will use an I/O address of 220 and IRQ 5 for the sound port and an I/O address of 330 and IRQ 11 for the MIDI/Joystick port.

      Check the resources either by the individual devices' setup programs/documentation or through Windows* 95 Device Manager. To access this information in Windows 95, click on "My Computer" icon, "Control Panel", then "System" Icon. Click on the "Device Manager" tab. For each device installed, double click on the item, then select the "Settings" or "Resources" tab at the top.

   4. If you don't have Intel's Windows-based diagnostic program installed, verify that the EtherExpress PRO/10 adapter passes all diagnostic tests by running SoftSet2 from DOS and selecting "Test Adapter". Exit to DOS by selecting the Start button on the bottom left of the screen, then Shut Down, and select Restart in MS-DOS mode. If the adapter fails diagnostics, it will not function correctly under Windows 95.

      If On-Board diagnostics fail, try setting the EtherExpress® PRO/10 adapter to use a different I/O address, a different Interrupt, or change Force 8 bit to "YES".

      If On-Network diagnostics fail, there is likely a cable, connector, or hub problem. Verify that the cabling you are using is connected properly and that the cable is not defective. For more information on cable specifications, view the 10BaseT or COAX Ethernet cabling readme files on the EtherExpress PRO/10 LAN adapter and Options disk.

2. Adapter Passes Diagnostics But Still Does Not Work With Windows* 95.
   If the adapter passes diagnostics but still does not work with Windows* 95, there could be a problem with network setup configuration. If you've made several attempts to configure network setup for Windows 95 or had another adapter installed before the EtherExpress™ PRO/10 adapter, it may be necessary to restore the Windows* 95 network configuration to default settings and then reconfigure the Windows* 95 network setup. Here's how:
   • Choose the "My Computer" icon.
     
     
   • Choose the "Control Panel" icon from the My Computer window.
     
     
   • Choose the "Network" icon from the Control Panel window.
     
     
   • Select the "Intel® EtherExpress™ PRO/10" from the Network Components list, and choose "REMOVE". This will remove the Intel® EtherExpress™ PRO/10 adapter driver and all associated components from the Windows* 95 network configuration. If any other Network Components remain, remove them.
     
     
   • From the Network Configuration window, choose "OK"
     
     
   • When Windows* 95 finishes copying files and updating the network configuration, you will be prompted to restart your computer for the changes to take effect, choose "YES".
     
     
   • After the workstation reboots, continue at step 1 of the "General Instructions" section of this document.

1. If you decide to either disable or enable the Plug and Play (PnP) feature of the adapter after it has been installed in Windows* 95, you will need to remove any occurrence of that driver, and reinstall the driver. Windows* 95 will treat it as two different devices, if the Plug and Play (PnP) feature is changed.
   
   
2. If you're using real mode drivers (NDIS 2 or ODI) in Windows* 95, and you're experiencing problems loading the driver, make sure you are using the drivers that ship on SW Release v3.0 or above. Since these drivers load while the Windows* 95 splash screen is activated, the updated drivers will interrupt the splash screen if there is a problem loading, and display appropriate error messages. For more information on using these drivers, refer to readme installation notes on that driver -
   
   DOS ODI client or NDIS Driver Notes.
   
   
3. To run diagnostics or change advanced options of the PRO/10+ adapter within Windows* 95, use the PRO adapter setup program which is accessed through "My Computer", "Control Panel" and "System" icon. Select "Network adapters" then Intel EtherExpress PRO/10, and accept Yes to use Intel Setup program.
   
   
4. If you are not successful in seeing the network, try forcing frame type when TCPIP is installed and using 802.3 to connect to a Netware server. Also, in the identification screen, make sure the workgroup name is identical on each unit in that group. Be sure file sharing is enabled on at least one unit.
   
   
5. If Windows* 95 doesn't automatically recognize your adapter, either Plug and Play (PnP)is disabled on your adapter, or you have an earlier, non PnP version of the PRO/10 adapter. Run SoftSet2 and from the main menu, choose "View Adapter Configuration". If the Controller Version reports 82595TX stepping 3 or 82595FX, you have a PnP adapter. From the main SoftSet2 menu, select Change Adapter Configuration, then Advanced Configuration Menu, and enable PnP.
   
   
6. If the Controller Version reports 82595TX stepping 2, the adapter doesn't support Plug and Play. You will need to configure the adapter manually in Windows 95. Follow the steps below:
   
   
   1. Using SoftSet2, configure and test the EtherExpress™ PRO/10 adapter before adding it to Network Setup in Windows 95. You must boot the workstation with DOS, then insert the EtherExpress™ PRO/10 LAN Adapter diskette into drive A. At the DOS prompt type
      
      
      A:SOFTSET2
      
      
   2. Select "AUTOMATIC SETUP" to let SoftSet2 configure the EtherExpress™ PRO/10 adapter to work in your computer, or select "Change Adapter Configuration" if you want to designate which Interrupt and I/O address you want the EtherExpress PRO/10 to use.
      
      
   3. Select "Test Adapter" from the main menu to test the configuration you have selected. If the EtherExpress PRO/10 adapter fails diagnostics it may not function correctly under Windows 95.
      
      

      NOTE: SoftSet2 is a DOS program and will not run in Windows* 95. You must run SoftSet2 from DOS. If you already have Windows* 95 installed on your computer, you can boot to DOS by inserting a DOS boot disk into your floppy disk drive A when rebooting, or you can select "RESTART THE COMPUTER IN MS-DOS MODE" from the Shut Down Windows menu in Windows 95.

   4. Restart the computer and load Windows 95.
      
      
   5. Open the "My Computer" icon.
      
      
   6. Open the "Control Panel" icon from the My Computer window.
      
      
   7. Open the "Network" icon from the Control Panel window.
      
      
   8. <Optional> If you're replacing a previously installed LAN adapter, select the old adapter and choose "Remove".
      
      
   9. From the Configuration window, choose "ADD".
      
      
   10. From the Select Network Component Type window, select "ADAPTER" and choose "ADD".
       
       
   11. From the Select Network adapters window, click on "Have Disk".
       
       
   12. Insert the PRO/10 disk SW Release v3.0 in drive A, and specify A:\.
       
       
   13. A new Select Network adapters window will appear. Two selections will be available. Since Plug and Play is not available (or you have chosen to disable it) on the adapter, select Intel® EtherExpress™ PRO/10+. The Network window will come up and show a list of the installed components. Windows 95 will add two default protocols - IPX/SPX compatible Protocol and NetBEUI.
       
       
   14. <Optional> To share files and printers on this workstation, choose "FILE AND PRINT SHARING".
       
       
   15. From the Network Window, select the Identification tab and enter a unique Computer Name and the name of your new or existing workgroup, then choose "OK".
       
       
   16. From the EtherExpress™ PRO/10+ Properties window, specify the Configuration Type as "Base Configuration 0", then select the Interrupt and I/O Address range that you set the EtherExpress™ PRO/10 adapter to using SoftSet2, then choose "OK".
       
       
   17. When Windows* 95 finishes copying files and updating the network configuration, you will be prompted to restart your computer for the changes to take effect, choose "YES".
