DOCUMENT:Q134584 17-DEC-2000 [win95x] TITLE :Second PCMCIA Network Adapter Fails PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows 95.x Retail Product PROD/VER: OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kb3rdparty kbnetwork win95 ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Windows 95 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== When you set up Windows 95, Windows 95 will not install more than one PCMCIA network adapter correctly. CAUSE ===== The Windows 95 32-bit socket drivers are not enabled. RESOLUTION ========== Install the Windows 95 32-Bit PCMCIA Socket drivers. To do so, follow these steps: 1. Double-click My Computer. 2. Double-click Control Panel. 3. Start the 32-bit PC Card (PCMCIA) wizard, and follow the instructions on the screen. MORE INFORMATION ================ Windows 95 setup preserves the 16 bit network configuration of PCMCIA devices. However the Windows95 network client only provides support for one 16 bit network. Because of this, only one PCMCIA network card will function correctly until 32 bit pcmcia support is unenabled. To enable 32 bit network support query on 'enable 32 bit PCMCIA'. NOTE: Microsoft Windows 95 is specifically designed to detect and install only one PCMCIA network card during setup. While it is possible to install multiple PCMCIA network cards during setup manually, following the steps above ensures the adapter works properly.
