999.0. "nt V4.0 axp will not see net card" by CSC32::GLAUNER () Wed Jan 29 1997 15:56

    Hello,
    My alphastation 200 will not see my de205 network card.
    
    I have the card setup with the default setting (irq5) etc.
    I have run the arc setup nicaxp.exe from the floppy I got 
    at http://www.service.digital.com:8031/
    I boot to NT V4.0 and run winmsd and don't see the device
    or any device for that matter on IRQ5.  I also can boot this 
    machine with digital unix and see both network cards fine.
    Is there some step that I missed.
    
    Thanks

    Ray,
    
    Did you load an Alpha NT driver for the DE205?  I don't think the card
    uses the IRQ resource until the driver is actually loaded.  Under i386,
    there is no DE205 driver bundled with the NT O.S. and I presume the
    situation is the same for Alpha NT, so you need to load drivers from
    that which is supplied by the NIC group.

    Thanks Bill
    I put in the de 205 driver off or digital support page, it even
    had a program to put the device in the ARC, it still did not
    make a difference, I rebooted unix and the netcard is still in there
    so I know it is connected find  any other ideas?

999.3Proper ECU?MPOS01::nqsrv201.nqo.dec.com::CerlingCall on the CalvaryThu Jan 30 1997 18:495
	Did you run the NT ECU?  There is a separate ECU for UNIX/VMS and
	NT.
