SYMPTOMS
========
When you are performing a shared installation of Windows 95 using an IBM Token
Ring Auto 16/4 ISA network adapter, Windows 95 may not connect to the network
during the real-mode to protected-mode network transition.
CAUSE
=====
IBM Token Ring Auto 16/4 ISA network adapters with a microcode level 000700
PP1FA7 have a Plug and Play BIOS that cannot be disabled using the Lanaid.exe
configuration tool supplied by IBM.
RESOLUTION
==========
You must disable the network adapter's Plug and Play BIOS in order for the
network transition to be successful.
Contact IBM Corporation for more information about this procedure.
MORE INFORMATION
================
In a local installation of Windows 95 with this adapter at this microcode level,
the results are that two IBM Token Ring Auto 16/4 ISA network adapters are
enumerated and listed in Device Manager. One of the devices is listed as not
working. Removing either device prevents the network adapter from working
properly; and on reboot the device is enumerated and listed twice in Device
Manager again.
