MS DOS 3.0 Client May Need Newer Network Card Driver

 Last reviewed: February 3, 1998
Article ID: Q164259
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.51 and 4.0
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.51 and 4.0

SYMPTOMS

Some AMD2100/AMD1500T network cards (for example, the embedded network card on Hewlett Packard Vectra systems) have problems with the network boot disk, which is created with the Windows NT Client Administrator. The system stops responding after the network card driver is loaded. With a newer AM2100.dos driver from AMD, the system works fine.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

AMD has a newer driver available on its FTP site (ftp://ftp.amd.com/pub/ind/software/am1500.2100-drivers).
