Installing the Driver and Software

 

This section describes how to install the NIC driver and 
software on a PC running Windows 95 or Windows 98. 
For other operating systems, see the user guide.

 

Windows 95

 

To install the NIC driver and software under Windows 95, you 
need the Windows 95 installation files. These files may be on 
a CD or diskettes, or they may have been copied to your hard 
drive when Windows 95 was installed on your PC.

 

If you encounter problems during the installation, see 
the W95NDIS.TXT file located in the HELP directory on 

 

EtherDisk

 

 diskette 3 for troubleshooting tips.

 

Before installing the NIC driver and software:

 

 

Make sure that you have run the preinstallation 
program, as described earlier in this guide.

 

 

Make sure that the NIC is installed in the PC and that 
it is connected to the network.

To install the NIC driver and software in a PC running 
Windows 95:

 

1 Turn on the power to the PC.

 

Windows 95 detects the NIC. Depending on the version of 
Windows 95 that you have installed, the New Hardware 
Found dialog box appears or the Update Device Driver 
Wizard starts.
