338.0. "WIN NT V4.0 for FH/PC" by NETRIX::"Youda.Kopel@meo.mts.dec.com" (Youda Kopel) Fri Mar 21 1997 04:46

Hi there ,

We have some internal users in NPB that are using FH/PC with WIN 95 and
looking
to move onto NT V4.0 .......

Will we have the NT 4.0 drivers for the FH / PC ????? and When ???

338.1Current drivers work with NT 4.0IROCZ::SCHWARTZFri Mar 21 1997 13:4119
    Hi Youda,
    
    The current windows NT driver works fine on Windows NT 4.0.  You can
    find the drivers on our internal WWW site as beta5b (I need to get
    these released).
    
    In the next month, I expect to get a final version released.  The
    current version runs fine on NT and the current Version of 95.  Very
    recently, MicroSoft released a new version that the drivers do not
    currently work with.  I am currently testing a new version.  If you
    know of anyone using MS's new operating system (OSR2, V4.00.950b) I can
    send them a copy.
    
    Regards,

338.2NT V4.0 Service Pack IINETRIX::"Youda.Kopel@meo.mts.dec.com"Youda KopelSun Mar 23 1997 22:2231
Thanks Jeff ,

This one is very strange.......We are using the FHBETA5.ZIP drivers.

The person has a HiNote Ultra II with CD-ROM ( like mine that works fine with
WIN 95 ) and is running WIN NT V4.0 - SERVICE PACK II .

The installations goes fine but, NT Event logger reports : Can't find the
card, and does not repoert on IRQ/MEM conflict.

We have tried different IRQs 11 ( default one ), 7 and 5 and tried to remove
the CD-ROM, tried PCMCIA slots 0 and top, tried ISA and PCMCIA bus types and
still could not get the FH/PC card to be activated. I do not have DS/PC to
try with . My HiNote Ultra II works well with WIN 95 and FH/PC card and also
with DOS RL2SETUP.....I even removed my card and Antenna and tried on the
other
person Ultra II with no luck.

Do you know of any one out there at LKG with this setup ( NT V4.0 ) and FH/PC
that is running happly ?????

The presson that is trying to use the Card is from the WIN NT group
specilising
with NT.

Cheers ,

338.3NT Event Logger AttachedNETRIX::"Youda.Kopel@meo.mts.dec.com"Youda KopelSun Mar 23 1997 22:3230
338.4Look for another IRQ.IROCZ::SCHWARTZTue Apr 15 1997 03:0021
    Hi Youda,
    
    I am not sure what it could be.  First I want to make sure you really
    have the latest driver.  You mentioned the file FHbeta5.zip, but I want
    to make sure it is Beta5B.  The driver (RL2WINNT.SYS) should be dated
    July 25, 1997 and the OEMSETUP.INF dated Sept 13, 96.
    
    With the Multi-media docking station there is only one IRQ available. 
    If the customer has a modem or other PCMCIA card installed, it will not
    find the RoamAbout card.  You may suggest that the customer disables
    either the IR port (IRQ 3) or the parallel port (IRQ 7) and reconfigure
    the RoamAbout card to that setting.
    
Regards,
Jeff

Thank Jeff ,

The files we are using are the correct ones ( RL2WINNT.SYS & OEMSETUP.INF ).

I'll get the customer to try different IRQs, will let you know.
