H.1 Windows 95 Troubleshooting Tips
Use the tools provided by Windows 95, the Spectrum24
DOS/Windows utilities, and LAN analyzers (i.e.
FTP Software LANWATCH, Novell LAN analyzer) to
diagnose problems. Some common problems exhibited
when the Spectrum24 adapter has not been properly
installed include:
• Windows 95 does not recognize the Spectrum24 PC/
ISA card when installed.
– Verify that Windows 95 PCMCIA support
is installed.
– The computer might not have Plug and Play BIOS
or a Spectrum24 ISA adapter in use. The
Spectrum24 ISA adapter is not a Plug and
Play device, it requires manual loading of the
PCMCIA support. Double click on the PC Card
(PCMCIA) applet in the Control Panel to install
PCMCIA support.
• The driver fails to load.
– A resource conflict could exists. Use the Device
Manager to help resolve resource conflicts.
Select the System applet from the Control Panel.
Select the Device Manager tab.
• The workstation cannot attach to the Spectrum24
network.
– Verify that the adapter ESS ID or Net ID settings
match the ESS ID or Net ID of the Access Point.
Refer to the Configuration section of this
document for details.
