Windows NT Automatic Configuration
PCI computers automatically detect and configure PCI-compliant adapters
while starting the computer. The adapter IRQ level and I/O address are automat-
ically set by the BIOS each time you start your computer.
Start your computer to automatically configure the adapter. Configuration is
complete when Windows NT starts or when the DOS prompt appears.
If your computer displays an error while booting, it may require additional steps
to configure. See the PCI Installation Tips section later in this guide for more
information.
Adding an Adapter While Installing Windows NT
The Intel

driver that ships with Windows NT 4.0 is an older driver that may not
support the Intel adapter.
Therefore, if you want to install the Intel adapter software while installing Win-
dows NT, you need to either install the adapter after the installation of Windows
NT is complete, or install the adapter software from a floppy installation disk
created from the Intel adapter CD (using the MAKENT.BAT file on the root of
the CD). When running the MAKENT.BAT batch file, you may see an error
message indicating that a .CAT file could not be copied. Ignore this message.
Windows NT Version 4.0 Only
After putting the adapter in the computer, connecting the cable, and starting
Windows NT; you need to install the correct drivers.
1 Double-click the Network icon in Control Panel.
2 Click the Adapters tab.
3 Click Add. You’ll see a list of adapters.
4 Don’t select an adapter from this list. Instead, insert the Intel adapter disk
or CD into the appropriate drive and click Have Disk.
5 Specify the appropriate drive in the dialog box and click OK. Then follow
the prompts to complete installation. When the adapter is added you’ll see
a new adapter listed in the Network adapters list.
6 Click Close to finish.
7 Restart Windows NT when prompted.
