IBM PC300XL/IBM IntelliStation M Pro - On-board Ethernet LCCM tip
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom:
When starting Lan Client Control Manager (LCCM) in the IBM PC 300XL or the IBM Intellistation M Pro, LCCM may fail to identify the onboard ethernet adapter or report the adapter is from an unidentified vendor.
Problem isolation aids:
Affected systems can be identified by viewing the onboard ethernet adapter's MAC address in the F1 Setup utility. To view the MAC address, use the following steps:
1. During POST press the F1 key to run Setup.
2. Highlight "Devices and I/O Ports" and press <Enter>.
3. Highlight "Ethernet Setup" and press <Enter>.
4. Observe the line titled "MAC Address." If the MAC address begins with "60" this tip applies.
Fix:
Download and run the utility MACSWAP.EXE.
Running MACSWAP.EXE will create a bootable diskette. Cold boot the affected system from this diskette and note the on-screen message. The utility will notify the user that the MAC address has successfully been updated. The user will also be notified if the MAC address is valid and no updates were made. After the utility has run, remove the diskette and reboot the system.
Applying the MACSWAP.EXE utility to an unaffected system will not harm or alter the system.
MACSWAP.EXE can be downloaded from the following IBM web page at: http://www.pc.ibm.com/searchfiles.html
Or downloaded from the IBM BBS at 1-919-517-0001(enter country code).
