                 -----------------------------------------
        Driver Installation for Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows 98
        -----------------------------------------------------------

  Getting Started
  ---------------
  Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows 98 does not come bundled with the driver 
  for the NETGEAR FA310TX adapter.  You must go through the following 
  procedure to install the device driver into the Windows 95 or Windows 98
  system for the adapter to function properly.

  The Windows 95 or Windows 98 installation disks or CD are needed to
  complete this installation.

  Installation Procedure
  ----------------------
  1.  Shut down the computer and install the FA310TX adapter into the
      system.
      
  2.  Start your system normally.  Upon power up, the system will indicate
      to you that new hardware has been found and the "Add New Hardware
      Wizard" window will appear.

  3.  Click the Next button as the Wizard prompting "This wizard searches
      for new drivers for PCI Ethernet Controller".

  4.  Choose the "Serach for the best driver for your device" option, then
      click Next.

  5.  Insert the NETGEAR FA310TX driver disk.

  6.  Select the "Floppy disk drivers" and click Next.

  7.  The wizard shows the NETGEAR FA310TX Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter.
      Click the Next button.  The system will copy the driver files
      from the FA310TX driver disk.  At this monent, Windows 95/98 will
      also copy the necessary files from the Windows 95/98 CD-ROM.
      Prepare your Windows 95/98 CD-ROM or diskettes for this process.

  8.  After finishing file copying, click the Finish button. The Windows
      system will ask you for rebooting the system.  Select YES to reboot.


  Advanced Setup
  --------------
  The FA310TX 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 configure the adapter card to operate at a particular
  speed and duplex mode.  The following procedure guides you into the
  Windows 95 or Windows 98 system for this setting.

  1.  In Control Panel, open "Network".

  2.  Click on the "NETGEAR FA310TX Fast Ethernet Adapter" selection and
      click on the "Properties" button.

  3.  Click on the "Advanced" tab in the FA310TX adapter card window.

  4.  Click on the "Connection Type" property selection.

  5.  The "Value" windows will show the following possible selections:

        AutoSense
        10Base-T                        (Ethernet)
        10Base-T Full duplex
        100Base-TX                      (Fast Ethernet)
        100Base-TX Full duplex

      Choose the appropriate setting as needed.


  Troubleshooting
  ---------------
  1.  Symptom:  No error appears in Device Manager and the NETGEAR FA310TX
      driver is properly intalled.   But you still have difficulty browsing
      and locating other systems on the network. 

      Solution:

      a.  Check and make sure that you have a unique computer name for each
          system in the whole network.  All systems in the same local
          network should use the same workgroup name.  You can change your
          computer name and workgroup name in:

          "My Computer" -> "Control Panel" -> "Network" -> "Identification"

      b.  Check and make sure that the adapter is properly connected to a 
          network device (eg. HUB) and the "connection type" for this adapter
          is set to "AutoSense" or the correct connection type.  You can 
          check it in:

          "My Computer" -> "Control Panel" -> "Network" -> "Properties"
          Select the "Advanced" tab to modify the operating speed or duplex
          mode.

          Possible selections are:  Autosense, 10Base-T, 10Base-T full_duplex,
          100Base-TX, 100Base-TX full_duplex.
