324.6More ideas to get running on Windows 95.IROCZ::SCHWARTZMon Jan 27 1997 19:0846
    Hi Diego,
    
>   Windows '95 beeps and recognizes that a new PCMCIA card has been

    compatible Not Roamabout. The Hinote Ultra does
    
    When it detects the new card does it display "Proxim - RangeLAN2" card
    and then prompt you for the OEM provided diskette?
    
>   When I load the Windows '95 drivers I have to tell the Hinote that

    This is not supposed to happen.  Windows 95 supports 'plug & play'.  If
    the PC does not prompt you after you insert the card, you have not
    properly removed the driver from a previous attempt to install the
    driver or Windows 95 is not correctly installed.
    
    I suggest going into the registry editor and going down the following
    path to delete what ever is there and starting over again.
    
    Run REGEDIT from the command prompt or via Start bar 'run' .
    
    select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    		System
    		CurrentControlSet
    		Services
    		Class
    		Net
    		000X find the one that shows 'digital RoamAbout FH/PC Card"
    			and with it highlighted, hit the 'del' key.
    
    Then exit out, but before rebooting, delete the RoamAbout files:
    
    \windows\system\RL2WIN95.sys
    \windows\inf\RL2WIN95.inf
    
    And then reboot.
    After the PC is rebooted, insert the card.  If it does not find new
    hardware "PROXIM - RangleLAN2" do not continue because you either have
    a problem with the PC or with the card.
    
    
    Good Luck,
    Jeff
    
324.7HiNote VP does have problemsLEMAN::JRSJohn SHADE - 'Attila the Nun'Fri Mar 14 1997 14:086
We've experienced problems with (and only with) the HiNote VP and the
FH2400 PC-card. NPBU and PCBU are working on resolving the issue (the
VP is end-of-life). I'll let someone with authority give a status update
once conclusions are reached...
