Hi everyone, I have encountered a problem while installing a PCMCIA network adapter in my notebook in Windows 95 environment. The card is Accton EN2212 and I'm using its Win 95 driver downloaded from Accton's internet site. The installation process was completed successfully. However, when I reboot the system, a message appears: "Microsoft Networking - The following error occurred while loading protocol 0. Error 254." The system does not halt at this point; all functions still work properly except network. I've tried Win 95's on-line help and Resource Kit, but cannot find any clue to solve it. The network card has worked consistently under Novell NetWare and Windows for Workgroup 3.11 on this and other notebooks. However, this is not quite the same in Win95. What we discovered is that we need to setup the card right the very first time Win95 detected the card. If we get the message "... Error 254" after installing of the card, no matter what adjustments we make to Network settings in Control Panel, network will not work. Even if we remove the device (either from System or Network) and reinstall it, it won't work. What's more bizard is that this doesn't happen consistently on a particular notebook. If one notebook is successfully in installing the card on one hard disk, there is no guarantee that it will work again on a different hard disk. By and large, there is no pattern as to when and how it will work properly. Can someone please help me on this issue? Your help is much appreciated. Michael e-mail: clevo1@pristine.com.tw
