I have seen this error when the EX was not connected to the network, for example a BNC card that had the cable unplugged or not correctly terminated, or a RJ45 card with a bad cable. For the record I got the EX16 to work OK with port 300, Int 10 and memory region starting at D000, the memory window must be set up as 32K also.
