2870.0. "Celebris GL6200 + Windows95 = no networking" by NETRIX::"wold@pa.dec.com" (Jason Wold) Thu Mar 20 1997 18:47

I have tried 4 different versions of the dc21x4.dos driver for windows95 but
none of them will get the 21142 network chip working under windows95.  The
current driver version that I have is dated 7/11/95 and came from

http://pcbu.ako.dec.com/~ftp/desktop/celebris/cel_gl6/NGCGL642.EXE

I have tried updating the system BIOS, the Ethernet chip BIOS, reinstalling
the
OS.  I know that it is not a hardware problem because I have installed NT4.0
on the same box and the networking works fine.

Any hints, clues, anything?  A more appropriate conference?

Any and all help greatly appreciated.  I have spent far to much time on 
this problem as it is.

2870.26200/Win95 on-board ethernet issuePCBUOA::gizmo.ako.dec.com::rsudFri Mar 21 1997 13:137
We have a working fix for this.

Please have issues of this type escalated to MCS--they should
be prepared to handle these calls shortly.

Ben here gave me a disk that I boot off of and it upgrades the BIOS of the 
ethernet controller.  I turned off PNP OS like he told me and ran the disk.
It installed correctly (or so it seems) but Windows95 will still not recognize
the
ethernet card.

I am trying to use the NDIS2 drivers off of the Celebris GL Restore CD that
comes with the system.

Next?
