I have basic Win95B install. Runs well...very stable. It had a Kingston
KNE40 NIC installed and networked with a simple peer to peer TCP/IP LAN.
There was also a couple of Dial up accounts.
I removed the entire network including DUN. Deleted the Kingston inf files
and then ran regedit, Norton Windoctor, cleared out the recycle bin and
defragged the system drive wiping fee space.
The Kingstone KNE40 supports bussmastering and is more appropriate to a
Server then a client so I pulled the KNE40 and installed a KNE30 into this
PC. Both are PCI, both are the same speed and are from the same
manufacturer family. The 40 uses an Intel chip and supports bussmastering
and the 30 has a Realtec chip.
The problem is that Win95B does not correctly install the KNE 30...does
not install the Kinstone TCP drivers...in fact it won't install any TCP/IP
drivers and of course the card doesn't work. The NIC itself is OK as it
passes manufacturer tests and transmission tests but Win95b is choking on
the switch.
I even tried to reinstall 95b over my existing install but that did not
help. I would really hate to have to start over to solve this...any ideas ?
