Hello,
Do you know what 1. 3Com EtherLink 10/100 PCI For Complete PC Management NIC
(3C905C-TX) - deterministic network enhancer and a WAN Miniport (IP) -
deterministic network enhancer are? They are found under Device Manager. I
am trying to figure out 1. why and how they are appearing and 2. do I need
them on my system being they caused me problems.
Computer specs: I have not added any pgm's, drivers etc. in days if not
weeks. I did reboot many time after the last installation.
W2K Pro (SP4 + all updates)
P3 733Mhz
768 RAM
40gig HD
Reason for post:
I just experienced a problem where my network adapter would not allow a
tcp/ip address to be assigned, dynamically or statically, to my NIC.
Received "Destination Host error when trying to ping IP.
What I was doing at time of problem:
I was using Lotus Notes v6 and noticed it stopped responding. I terminated
the process and could no longer open Lotus Notes because of an "unknown
error." From here, I rebooted my system and noticed the above problem found
under "Reason for post."
Device Manager:
I noticed that there was a [3Com EtherLink 10/100 PCI For Complete PC
Management NIC (3C905C-TX) - deterministic network enhancer] had a "?"
displayed on top of the adapter along with a WAN Miniport (IP) -
deterministic network enhancer.
Fix (Local Area Connection Properties):
I had to uncheck the box that corresponded to "Deterministic network
enhancer" in order for my NIC to obtain an IP and work.
Puzzled:
1. I looked at the Local Area Connection on another W2K Pro computer I have
an it did not display either of the fields I noted in "Device Manager"
above.
2. The W2K computer that had the problem has a lot more pgm's installed on
it so I am guessing "deterministic network enhancer" fields were added
because of a program I have installed but am not sure.
3. Prior to "Fix" I uninstalled the two found under "Device Manager" above
but they reappeared as I originally found them.
If you have an suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for your time and any thoughts you may have!
