SYMPTOMS
========

The Accton MPX EN1652 NE2000-compatible network adapter in your computer may not
be detected by Setup or the Add New Hardware Wizard.

CAUSE
=====

This problem can occur if the network adapter is configured to use one of the
following base I/O addresses:

- 240

- 280

- 2C0

Although these are valid settings for the network adapter, Windows 95 does not
query these addresses when it searches for NE2000-compatible network adapters.

RESOLUTION
==========

To work around this problem, use either of the following methods:

- Manually install the Accton MPX EN1652 network adapter as an NE2000-
  compatible network adapter by following these steps:

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

  2. Double-click the Add New Hardware icon, and then click Next.

  3. Click the No option button, and then click Next.

  4. Double-click Network Adapters.

  5. In the Manufacturers box, click Novell/Anthem. In the Models box, click
     NE2000 Compatible.

  6. Click OK, and then click Next.

- Use the configuration utility included with the network adapter to configure
  it to use one of the following valid base I/O addresses:

   - 300
   - 320
   - 340
   - 360

  After you configure the network adapter to use one of these base I/O
  addressed, run the Add New Hardware Wizard to install the network adapter.
