IRQ setting location?

I would like to also add to the above question that I don't know I/O port address to input. I remember checking this through bios settings although I'm not sure were to go there as well!? I would please ask for detailed information.
Thanks again

Start - Run - WINMSD.

I think the problem is you load the incorrect/incompatible driver for that NIC.

Brgds,
/Choo.

Could it be the Transciever type? Set to Thinnet? (Network Icon Adapter properties?)

You can see the IRQ's being used by going to start/programs/administartive tools/windows nt diagnostics. Go to the resources tab and select IRQ's.

when u load the driver at that time in the properties of NIC u can set the IRQ value. Other way to check the IRQ value is by changing settings in the ROM BIOS

Go to the run command and type msinfo32, this will give you all your resources. Also, reload the latest service pack.

I assume that you are using only one NIC and not multi-homing.
From Adm Tools, run WIN NT Diagnostics and open Network Tab. Click each on Transports, Settings and Statistics and you should see data on your NIC.

On the Resources Tab, you should see IRQ, I/O Port,Devices, etc Buttons This will enable you to inspect whether or not your NIC is configured properly.

Any of the above suggestions will allow you to see available irqs. However, I will take a wild guess and say you are running Windows 2000. The problem is not the hardware settings, rather, its the SMC drivers. Try using the Novell NE2000 compatible drivers. Just click add in the "Adapters" tab of Network properties and the adapter driver will appear in the list.

Since you said this was a new SMC card, I assume it is programmable. To determine how the card came set from the factory, or to program it with the settings you find in your research from the above answers, you will most likely need to run a configprogram on a disk that came with the NIC. The config programs generally will not run inside NT or Win9x, but have to be run from DOS or a Win9x command prompt, so if you are on NT, you will have to re-boot with a DOS or Win9x floppy; or from Win9x,just restart the computer in the command prompt mode. Then insert the NIC config floppy, and run the program.

Are you running NT? is it an ISA card? if so then go in to you CMOS and sety the IRQ to use ISA. Be sure your workgroup is the same as everyong elses and are you obtaining an IP? NT = ipconfig and WIN9x = winipcfg.
