When you are using a DEC 101 network interface card, you are unable to
connect to the network after performing a server-based installation of
Windows 95.
Back to the top
The NDIS 2 or NDIS 3 network interface card drivers that Windows 95 is
using are not configuring the DEC 101 network interface card properly. Some
settings for the DEC 101 network interface card allow the card to function
properly when ODI drivers are used, but not when NDIS 2 or NDIS 3 drivers
are used. In such cases, if the Windows 95 NDIS drivers are using the same
settings as the ODI drivers you were using before installing Windows 95,
the network interface card is not configured properly and does not
function.

Make sure that the NDIS drivers are configuring the DEC 101 network
interface card properly. For information about how to do so, please
contact DEC.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 95. We
are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

The DEC 101 network interface card is an 8-bit card. This problem does not
occur with similar 16-bit DEC cards.
