DOCUMENT:Q135172 17-DEC-2000 [win95x] TITLE :CableTron T2015 Token Ring Adapter Fails on 4 Mbps Ring Speed PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows 95.x Retail Product PROD/VER:WINDOWS:95 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Windows 95 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== After you install and configure a CableTron T2015 Token Ring network adapter in a Windows 95-based computer to work with a 4 Mbps Token Ring network using the T2015.dos NDIS 2 driver, you find that you cannot access the network after you restart the computer. CAUSE ===== Setup places a parameter for ring speed in both the registry and the Protocol.ini file. The NDIS 2 driver does not read the Protocol.ini file for this parameter correctly and remains set at the factory-default speed of 16 Mbps. RESOLUTION ========== Use any text editor (such as Notepad) to edit the Protocol.ini file. Change the line that reads BANDWIDTH=1 to read: " BANDWIDTH=4 " (without the quotation marks) After you make this change, save and close the Protocol.ini file, and then restart your computer.
