pcmcia adapter cannot find free I/O range code 12
 

Help! I have a toshiba satellite 171ocds running ME.I have just loaded a
PCMCIA digitus 10/100 fast ethernet 32 bit ethernet adapter and it has loaded
ok and the computer can see it, however when going though system/device
manager/ "realtek RTL8139/810x family pci fast ethernet NIC" properties it is
showing the yellow exclamation mark. under proerties/ general/ device status
is says this device cannot find any free input/output range (I/O) resources
to use code 12. If you want to use this device, you must disable another
device. I have disabled the on board NIC and modem (they wouldnt connect to
the clicnt server network anyway) and when I go to the resources tab and
click the set configuration manually, it gives me the following options:
interupt request 00
memory range 00000000 - 0000000F.
input/output range 0000 -00FF [this is not available]
When i select one of either of these options and i click ok and restart,
when you check the settings they are back as they were. I did notice a
similar problem in the knowledge base for windows XP where it was fixable
with a patch. Is this also? thanks Goffy
