I'm sure you stipuluated it in an earlier e-mail but perhaps, you can tell me again exactly which card this is. Doesn'y the TP 390 have onboard ethernet anyway ?? I used to have a 390 but I can't remember, was it only from the i series onwards that ethernet came as standard ?? You don't need a separate driver for point enabled. setting the switch on the socket services driver is all that you need to do. Since this also disables socket services for this slot, autodrv2 is no longer used. Protocol.ini wont have the parameters fo IO, IRQ etc. unless you add them. The safest way being to do this through MPTS. As I said, how to get the card working depends on the card. You may want to go and check what is needed at http://www.os2warp.be where Jonas has collected all relevant data. Cheers/2 Ed.

I have a disfunctional TP390E, the display is cactus, and was using an IBM etherjet NIC in it. I found that the autodetect settings in protocol.ini did not work and I needed to set all the parameters manually, ie ethernet speed etc This may be you problem. ----------------------------------------- Brian Butler System Administrator brianb at kdfisher dot com dot au "John Angelico" .au> cc: Subject: Re: [nb2discuss] Thinkpads Etherjet and PC CardDirector 08/05/2004 21:52 Please respond to os2genau On Sat, 08 May 2004 13:52:34 +1000, Ed Durrant wrote: Hi Ed, and thanks for the idea, but Point enabled didn't seem to be an issue with the 760EL under eCS1.0x, so I hadn't worried about it here.

Protocol.ini has settings (which I reported prev as Memory Address 5B80 0000 IO Address F500 IRQ 5) but has no provision for the kinds of IO and Memory addresses shown in the docs. The only place I see those (200 to 360, and D0000 to D4000) is in the Script files for AutoDrv2 hot-swapping. so I still don't know what I am doing wrong on the 390E.
