[MLB-WIRELESS] help with ricoh cradle

[Ben Grech]

I'd proceed as follows:

1. As already suggested, check the cradle in the other machine to make sure
it isn't a hardware problem.

2. Windows will look in c:\winnt\inf\pcmcia.pnf  for driver information, but
we can't easily tell if this file is damaged or not. Easiest way to fix this
is to delete it and make win2k look in the pcmcia.INF file instead. Make
sure the pcmcia.inf file looks legit - if not copy it from another win2k
machine.

3. c:\winnt\driver cache\driver.cab contains the pcmcia.sys file that is the
driver for the pcmcia card. Make sure this file isn't corrupted.

My money is on 1 or 2.

Cheers,
Ben.

Hi,
Im having trouble with one of my two ricoh cradle/enterasys card
combinations. I put my first set (I have two) in a pc running win2k and it
detected and installed all by itself. (as I expected it to). However, when i
put my second set in another pc running windows 2k it located a PCI device
and ran the new hardware wizard.... it can't find any drivers. Can anyone
tell me why this is happening, has it happened to anyone else? I am now in
the unenviable position of having one PC with a wireless link but nothing to
connect to :-(. Are there a set of the win2k drivers located somewhere?



Thanks in advance
