  • CE2 - Xircom® CreditCard Ethernet II (Performance Series)
  • CEM28 - Xircom® CreditCard Ethernet+Modem 28.8
  • CEM33 - Xircom® CreditCard Ethernet+Modem 33.6
  • CEM33i - Xircom® CreditCard Ethernet+Modem 33.6 GlobalACCESS Adapter
    in Windows* 2000
Cause:
The built-in Windows* 2000 drivers require that the cable type keyword be set properly.

Resolution:
Xircom® drivers are not available for the CE2, CEM28, CEM33 or CEM33i in Windows 2000. However, drivers for these cards are included with Windows 2000. These built-in drivers are not supported by Xircom.

The cable type setting in these built-in drivers is "Auto" by default. It is some times necessary to set this cable type to Twisted Pair or Coax, whichever is appropriate. This tends to be an issue on machines with an Intel® Pentium® III class (or faster) processor.

Note: Xircom does not plan to write new drivers for these cards for Windows 2000.
