SYMPTOMS
========
When you upgrade from a previous version of Windows to Windows 95, Setup does
not upgrade real-mode network components to protected-mode components if the
following conditions are met:
- You use ODI drivers with an IBM Token Ring card. Setup defaults to the
generic ODI driver.
-or-
- You use NDIS drivers with an IBM Token Ring card. Setup defaults to an NDIS 2
driver.
For example, if you use Windows for Workgroups 3.11 with ODI drivers and you
upgrade to Windows 95, Setup does not upgrade the ODI drivers to the Microsoft
Network redirector (NWREDIR) and NDIS 3.1 network drivers.
CAUSE
=====
Setup cannot distinguish between PCMCIA Token Ring cards, which require 16-bit
network drivers, and other Token Ring cards that may be able to use 32-bit
network drivers. Setup defaults to 16-bit network drivers to ensure that you can
access your network.
RESOLUTION
==========
If the network card you use supports 32-bit networking, install the 32-bit
network components manually.
