VX-Net & Qi PCi with MCA Western Digital
Ethernet Card
Problem:
There is a memory clash between the default settings of server.sys and
the MCA Western Digital Ethernet card. The problem is highlighted when users cannot log on
to the network "cannot connect to MAIN0" and GETTIME cannot set the workstation
date and time.
Solution:
Use Qi Reference Disk and change the default settings for the Ethernet
card, i.e. the shared RAM space, from default (C4000h) to DC000h.
Then edit config.sys as follows:
from |
DEVICE=SERVER.SYS /M:EE00H |
to read |
DEVICE=SERVER.SYS /M:DC00H |
(loss of RAM from default is only 17K)
