When installing the LAN driver, Windows for Workgroups (WfW) will present a list of all available drivers. However, the NETGEAR FA310TX driver is not included in the system software. Select "Unlisted" for 3rd party adapters not in the driver list. 4. WfW will ask for the drive/path containing the FA310TX drivers. Provide the path to the OEMSETUP.INF file in the \WFW311 directory. eg. A:\WFW311 if installing from the provided driver disk. WfW should copy the appropriate drivers to the system. 5. Select the "NETGEAR FA310TX Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter". At this point, the driver has been properly copied and the installation would proceed to the next step. Please refer to your WfW installation guide for the correct procedures. After the initial installation, the FA310TX WfW driver is permanently installed into the system. Subsequent accesses to the network driver list will include this driver as one of the options. Advanced Setup -------------- The FA310TX Windows for Workgroups driver configures the adapter card to operate in autosensing mode by default. In this mode, the card automatically selects the most appropriate operating speed and duplex mode. There might be instances when you need to force the adapter card to operate at a particular speed and duplex mode. The following procedure guides you into the Windows for Workgroups system for this setting. 1. In Program Manager, open "Network" -> "Network Setup" -> "Drivers". 2. In the "Network Drivers" window, select the "Setup" button. 3. In the Advanced Network-Adapter Settings window will show two parameters "[NDIS2] AutoSense/Half/Full_Duplex" and "[NDIS2] Line Speed 10M/100M" 4.
