14. Optional: Click on the Access Control tab. Make sure that Shared-level
access control is selected. If the setting is on User-Level access control and
you can’t change it, skip to Troubleshooting problem 5 on page 35.
15. Click on the OK button. Your system may or may not ask you for your
Windows 98 CD-ROM or the location of the 98 installation files. Direct
Windows to the appropriate location, (e.g., “D:\win98”, “C:\windows\options\cabs”).
16. Once Windows is done copying the necessary files, the System Settings
Change window appears. Remove all disks from your computer and click on
Yes to restart your PC. If you don't see this window, simply restart your com-
puter. The installation is complete. Remember to remove the Driver Disk
from the floppy drive.
Look at the EtherFast Card's LEDs. If your cabling is properly attached and
the network is detected, the green Link light will be on, and the Activity
(ACT) light will be flickering or solid.
17. Once the computer has restarted and Windows is up, a Logon window
will appear requiring you to enter a username and password. Make up a user-
name and password, enter them, and click OK. Do not click the Cancel or
Esc button, or you won't be able to log onto the network. If the a logon does
not appear or if it does not allow you to log on, refer to Troubleshooting prob-
lem 3 on page 34.
18. Once you are at the Windows 98 desktop, double-click on the Network
Neighborhood icon. You should see an icon for Entire Network, and the
names of the other PCs on the network. In order to see other computers in
Network Neighborhood, you need to enable File and Printer Sharing (refer to
the instructions on page 37).
If you don't see anything at all, press the F5 key on your keyboard a few
times to refresh the screen.
If you only see your computer in Network Neighborhood, skip to
Troubleshooting problem 6 on page 35.
If you see all computers on the network except yours, and the other PCs can't
see your computer, see Troubleshooting problem 7 on page 35.
If you only see computers that are running the same operating system as you
and you don’t see any others, go to Troubleshooting problem 10 on page 36.
