    --------------------------------------------------------------------

    The NDC ND51XX-E PCMCIA adapter driver installation procedure varies
depending on whether or not you are installing into a full Windows 98
installation or a Windows 98 Upgrade installation.


<Windows 98 Clean Installation>

    If you are installing the ND51XX-E PCMCIA adapter into a system that
has a clean Windows 98 installed, follow Procedure A.

version of Windows 98, you will not be prompted to install the NDC driver
during the installation of Windows 98. Click Start\Settings\Control Panel
\System and tab 'Device Manager'. Under 'Other devices', the NDC-Ethernet
will be marked with a question mark "?".  Select it, click 'Remove' and
restart your computer. Then follow Procedure A.



<Windows 98 Upgrade Version Installation>

    If the card is being installed into a Windows 98 system (no matter
what version of Windows your Windows 98 was upgraded from), refer to
procedure A for installation in a clean Windows 98 environment.
    If the card was previously installed on a version of Windows that
was upgraded to Windows 98, it will still work fine after the upgrade.
But you may upgrade the driver by refering to the procedure B.

    or Diskette). If you have the Windows 98 CD-ROM, insert it and enter

a DHCP server, you should manually modify the TCP/IP settings of
all machines on the network. If you don't understand TCP/IP, you
have another choice. That is, follow the instruction below to
modify the network settings only on the newly added Windows 98
machine:


   1. Click Start/Settings/Control Panel. Double-click
      the Network icon to open the Network dialog box.

   2. On the configuration tab, highlight
      TCP/IP - > NDC ND5100 PCMCIA Ethernet Adapter
      and then click the Remove button to unbind the
      TCP/IP protocol from the LAN adapter.

   3. Click the Add button. select Protocol and click
      Add button. Select Microsoft in the left pane,
      select NetBEUI in the right. Click OK to install
      the NetBEUI protocol.

   4. On being returned to the Network dialog box you
      should see the NetBEUI protocol has been added
      to the list in the network component pane.
      From the Primary Network Login dropdown list
      choose Client for Microsoft Networks. Click OK.

   5. Restart Windows 98.
