Driver Installation Steps for Windows 2000: 1) Insert PC CARD in one of the PCMCIA Slots and start Windows 2000. 2) The "Update Device Driver Wizard" dialog box appears. Click the "Next" button. 3) Select "Other Locations". 4) Insert the PC CARD driver diskette in the floppy drive (e.g. A:.) Type "A:\win2000" and click OK. 5) The installation process copies all the required files to the hard disk. If the process prompts the location of the Windows 2000 system files, place the Windows 2000 CD in the CD-ROM drive and enter the location of the CD-ROM drive in the dialog box. Please wait for the process to finish. 6) Click "Finish" to complete the installation process. Then windows2000's Network is up and running.
