TITLE   :PRB: "IBMTok01: The Adapter is Configured..." in System Log
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Windows NT operating system, version 3.1
 - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you use the Event Viewer to view the System log, it includes the
following message:

   IbmTok01 : The adapter is configured such that the receive space is
   smaller than the maximum packet size. Some packets may be lost.

CAUSE
=====

This message does not reflect an error in Windows NT. The event log
reports to the user/administrator that the IBM Token Ring network
adapter is not correctly configured to receive the maximum possible
packet size that the token ring network supports.

For example, on a 16 megabit ring, the maximum packet size is more
than 17,000 bytes. The error appears if the adapter is configured for
only 16K shared RAM.

RESOLUTION
==========

To eliminate this error, reconfigure the adapter to use a larger
shared RAM address.
