361.0. "HUBwatch Installation: No DEPCA detected, continuing anyway." by TENNIS::KAM (Kam USDS (714)261-4133 (DTN 535) IVO) Fri Aug 27 1993 14:22

I'm trying to install HUBwatch for Windows.  I'm following the directions in the
manual.  Upon reboot of the PC I get the following:

Packet driver is at segment 0F1F
No DEPCA detected, continuing anyway.
Interrupt numer 0x5 (5)
I/O port 0x300 (768)
Memory address 0xD000 (53248)
My ethernet address is FF:00:55:AA:FF:00

I have a DEC EtherWorks Turbo/TP ethernet controller

Any ideas where to look?

I got mine working fine, did you follow the instructions in the README.TXT file
(release notes). That's all we did.
361.3Try the instructions againNAC::SEAVERBill Seaver, HUBwatch MktgWed Sep 01 1993 21:167
    Sounds like you are have not done the drive installation correctly. 
    Many of us have gotten our PCs working withHUBwatch.  The driver
    installation is not a simple install and that is why we have develoeped
    elaborate directions, which the gentleman in note .2 seems to have been
    able to follow.  I would suggest you start at the top on the directions
    again and then call Colarado if you are still having problems.  A far
    as I know they have it running.
361.4what configurations do you have?TENNIS::KAMKam USDS (714)261-4133 (DTN 535) IVOThu Sep 02 1993 00:0118
    I followed the directions in the manual and readme file.  Do you know
    why the DE201 doesn't return a valid ethernet address?
    
    What file is run that looks for the DEPCA?  And what doesn't it find
    that causes the message No DEPCA detected?
    
    Under PATHWORKS there is NO ethernet address returned with the DE201. 
    With a DEPCA, older no longer support module, it returns an ethernet valid
    address.  Customer don't want to see it with the DEPCA module.
    I believe that the manual indicates that if the ethernet address is
    00-00-00-00-00-00 the configuration is incorrect.  
    
    Can you provide the System type and ethernet interface for those that
    have successfully installed HUBwatch for Windows.

361.5might be a partially defective DE201TENNIS::KAMKam USDS (714)261-4133 (DTN 535) IVOThu Sep 02 1993 15:589
I swapped out the DE201 with the OLDER DEPCA module.  Things look alittle
better.  When I did the PING -t IP_ADDRESS the # of tries and successes counters
incremented.  It appears that the DE201 might have something wrong with the
ethernet address prom.  The DE201 work great under PATHWORKS.
