After many frustrating hours, I've (temporarily) admitted defeat; and need
some suggestions.
Sequence of events.
Thinkpad 560E, freshly formatted and ready to install Warp. Partitioned hdd
for C: and D:
Warp 4 install cd copied to D: (fat16) partition on hdd.
Ran install to drive C: partition (hpfs), specifying pcmcia support and
ethernet pcmcia card for network. (Xircom CEM-56/100btx combo card)
System works perfectly. Both MS and Warp pc's on network able to see and
share files with the 560E.
Then added drivers for pcmcia (CNF 2x) cd-rom.
Cd-rom works perfectly, network communication lost. No connectivity at all.
PC card services sees the Xircom as a modem, which it is, using Com 2, so
that looks alright, and sees the cd-rom as an IDE device, also fine.
Tried re-ordering the drivers load sequence in config.sys. but that only
gave me startup errors. Still, the cd-rom and modem worked, not the ethernet
connection. Thinking the OS/2 pcmcia drivers were overriding the netcard
access to the slot, I then I re-installed the whole shebang, this time not
enabling pcmcia support, but again specified the Xircom card for network
adapter.
Network is found. Then added pcmcia support. Network still found! Then added
the cd-rom, and guess what?
No network. Ok, once more I re-installed. This time NO network adapter
specified (other than the IBM Null Mac driver, just to get TCP/IP for the
modem). Then added the cd-rom, and had modem and cd working fine. Then added
the ethernet adapter with MTPS installation, and NO network connectivity.
I humbly ask for your assistance.
