The NDIS 4 driver works with Windows NT 4.0, but not
Windows NT 3.51. The OEMSETNT.INF file loads the correct
driver for Windows NT. The 3Com software automatically
detects which version of Windows NT your are running and
installs the correct driver.
Windows NT 4 Installation without Networking Installed
If you have networking installed, go to the next section to
install the driver.
1 In the Control Panel, double-click Network.
2 When the system prompts:
3 "Windows NT Networking is not installed. Install it
now?" Click Yes.
This opens the Windows NT network Setup Wizard.
4 Place a checkmark in the Wired to the network box.
The next window prompts, "To have setup start searching
for a network adapter.”
5 Click the Start Search button.
6 Click on the Select from List button.
7 Click on the Have Disk button.
8 Insert the EtherDisk diskette into drive A and click OK.
9 When the SELECT OEM OPTION window opens, select
3Com EtherLink III (3C589D) LAN PC Card, and click OK.
The Network Adapters list shows the 3Com EtherLink III
(3C589D) LAN PC Card with a check mark on it.
10 Click Next to continue.
11 In the Network Protocols list, place a check mark next
to each network protocol that Windows NT will use.
The TCP/IP transport will already be selected for use. If you
have no specific reason to use TCP/IP, you may delete it now.
12 In this dialog box, select the transport appropriate for
the network client.
Most Microsoft NT networks use the NWLink IPX/SPX
Compatible Transport. If you are not sure, ask your system
administrator or MIS department.
