Well, this is probably the inevitable follow-up to my last question, but I got my 3Com Etherlink III in the mail today, plugged it into the motherboard, and got myself underway. Unfortunately, even following a guide for setting things up to use TCP\/IP protocols, things have come back and smacked me in the face. It took ages to even get networking to work, since for some reason IFSHLP.SYS wasn’t installed. After reinstalling Windows, I finally got networking to start, but the results weren’t what I’d hoped. I got the following two error messages:<\/p>\n
“Your network adapter MS$ELNK3 is not working properly. You may need to set it up again. For more information, see “Troubleshooting” in your “Workgroup Add-On User’s Guide.”<\/p>\n
The following error occurred while loading protocol number 0.
\nError 58: The network has responded incorrectly. You may need to reconfigure the protocol using Network Setup. If your computer is a portable, make sure it is connected to its docking station.”<\/p>\n
I’m assuming the first problem is some sort of driver issue, but Windows came standard with support for this card so I can’t see how that’d be the problem. The second is a mystery to me. Is it possible that it’s just not compatible with modern-style internet? I wouldn’t think so since I have heard of people getting these things online, but hell, what do I know?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":74},"question-category":[67],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-13111","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-windows-31"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/13111","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13111"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13111"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=13111"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=13111"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
