We recommend that you install the NDIS 3.0 driver (IBMESAN3.386) on Windows for Workgroups 3.11. We have run into various WFW errors when using the NDIS 2.0 driver (IBMESAN2.DOS) on WFW 3.11. 2. If you install more than one IBM EISA Ethernet Adapter in your machine, you need to add the SlotNumber= parameter to the PROTOCOL.INI file. WFW 3.11 scans all slots to find cards that match id's in the NDIS 3.0 driver. However, when there is more than one card with the same id in one machine, SlotNumber= is used to differentiate the cards. After installing the NDIS 3.0 driver for each card, modify the PROTOCOL.INI file. This file is located in the windows base directory (environment variable: windir). Under each driver [IBM$ESAN3x] section of the PROTOCOL.INI file, insert a line SlotNumber=#. x only exits in the non-first occurrence of the driver. # is the slot where the corresponding card is installed. Note: If the adapter cable is not connected when you start Wiwdows, you way see an error message such as device is not available. You will need to connect the cable and restart the machine. Note: In POTOCOL.INI, the IOBase defaults to 0x3000 and this may not be the location of the board. In which case an ADAPTER IS NOT PRESENT AT I/O Base error is given.
