Windows Client Setup

Introduction

This section will help you confi gure Windows so that you will be able to access 
your network and the GigaDrive from your PC. The following items will be 
checked or confi gured.

• TCP/IP protocol
• Access to the GigaDrive’s storage
• The GigaDrive’s printer

If your PC already has been confi gured for TCP/IP, you very well may already 
be able to access the GigaDrive and its printer without changing any of your 
Windows settings.  Check your Network Neighborhood.  If you don’t see it 
anywhere in there, begin the Client Setup.

TCP/IP Setup

 

already able to see the Instant GigaDrive out on the 

1. Select the Control Panel - Network option in the Start Menu. You should 

see the following screen.

2. If a line like the one highlighted (TCP/IP 

-> Network card) is not listed, then you 
need to install the TCP/IP protocol by 
selecting Add - Protocol - Microsoft - 
TCP/IP - OK.

Note

: These screen-shots have 

been taken from Windows 95, 
and will be identical to screen 
shots from Win 98. Windows NT 
4.0, however, has a similar but 
different TCP/IP setup function. 
The process is intrinsically the 
same, but some screens will 
look different.
