Solution 1:

The appropriate driver for your Ethernet protocol must be installed.

For example, if your system requires the `NWLink IPX/SPX' network driver,
it must be installed like so:

      Put the Windows 95 or NT system disk in the CDROM drive.

      Select `START'

      Select `Control Panel'

      Select `Network'

      Select `Add'

      Add the NWLink IPX SPX driver.

Other drivers are installed in similar fashion.


Why do I need to include the appropriate Ethernet protocol driver?

      This is necessary for either obtaining the Ethernet card address
      and to provide connectivity with a Netware License server.
