SYMPTOMS

When you install an Intel EtherExpress Pro network interface card in your computer, Windows 95 detects the card as an Intel 82595-based Ethernet card.

Back to the top

CAUSE

Windows 95 cannot safely query the EPROM on the Intel EtherExpress Pro card while attempting to detect the network interface card that is installed because the EtherExpress Pro card may be in use. As a result, the detection routine cannot determine the card's Vendor ID and cannot identify the card beyond the fact that it is an 82595-based card.

RESOLUTION

Do not try to redetect the network interface card. Windows 95 uses the same drivers and configuration for EtherExpress Pro cards and 82595-based Ethernet cards. The only difference is the description of the card. None of the EtherExpress Pro card's functionality is lost.
