SYMPTOMS
========

When you are using an NDIS2 MAC driver for a Novell/Eagle NE200T PCMCIA network
adapter card in Windows 95, your computer may stop responding (hang) or have no
network functionality.

CAUSE
=====

This network adapter may require the real-mode enabler for the PCMCIA card
services, or may require a different MAC driver to work properly.

RESOLUTION
==========

- You may need to load the real-mode card and socket services drivers. Although
  the exact names of these drivers varies from one system to another, they
  typically appear as follows in the Config.sys file:

  device=c:\<path>\cs.exe device=c:\<path>\sscirrus.exe
  device=c:\<path>\csalloc.exe

  NOTE: You may be able to find references to the original real-mode drivers in
  the Config.dos file.

- These systems also typically require that the Novell ODI/NETX or VLM driver
  be installed for the network adapter. To change the driver type, follow these
  steps:

  1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.

  2. Double-click the Network icon.

  3. Click the Novell/Eagle NE200T PCMCIA network adapter, and then click
     Properties.

  4. On the Driver Type tab, click the Real Mode (16-bit) ODI Driver option
     button, and then click OK.

  5. Click OK. When you are prompted to do so, enter the location for the
     Novell files.

     NOTE: The necessary files should be on a drivers disk included with the
     network adapter, or you can obtain them from Novell.

  6. When you are prompted to restart the computer, do so.
