IBM PC330/PC350 - Plug n Play adapter fails to configure

Applicable to: World-Wide

Abstract :
Plug N Play Adapter Fails to Configure in 6577/87

Problem :
IBM Plug 'n Play Token Ring or EtherJet adapters may not configure in IBM PC 300 Series 6577 and 6587 systems with Windows 95 preloaded.

A resource conflict may exist between the adapter and the systems video I/O address region and/or IRQ's that are in use by other system hardware.

Solution :
When installing an IBM Plug n Play communication adapter such as the EtherJet or Token Ring in a PC 300 Series system, ensure that the adapter is configured for the "enhanced" mode of operation using LANAID. This provides the adapter additional choices of I/O address areas for configuration.

If the adapter continues to fail to configure, verify that the latest level of LANAID is being used and continue normal problem determination procedures.
