836.0. "Problems starting network with NT 3.51 build" by DAGWUD::SYSTEM () Thu Feb 06 1997 08:17

    I'm having a problem building NT3.51. When I attempt to join a domain
    during the network setup portion, I receive a message along the lines
    of a domain controller cannot be found. If I elect to join a workgroup
    instead the setup allows me to complete the network portion. When I
    reboot, I am able to log on but the network does not appear to be
    functioning. I cannot ping the gateway and when I attempt to connect to 
    a network driver, the only node I see is the one I'm working from in
    the default workgroup.
    
    The network controller is FDDI in a PCI slot. 
    
    There are no entries in the Event Log other than a the Event Log
    creation notification. 
    
    This server also has a RAID hardware storage controller in the first
    slot and a DE435 network adapter in the third PCI slot. Attempts to 
    configure the DE435 also appear successful initially but I upon reboot
    I get the following error:
    
    The DEC DC21040 Adapter driver failed to start due to the following
    error:
    
    A device attatched to the system is not functioning.
    
    Yes, we have tried another DE435 as well as combinations of FDDI /
    DE435 cards in different PCI slots.
    
    If I have not provided enough detail regarding this configuration,
    please let me know. 
    
    Thanks in advance for any help you might provide,
