     make sure these settings match your adapter's configuration. Otherwise
     the network ability of Windows NT can not work properly.

     The connection types for FastNIC Adapter are  
     -----------------------------------------------------------------------
	AutoSense		; performs automatic media detection during
				; driver initialization.

	10BaseT			; RJ-45 connector, line speed is 10 Mega 
				; bits per second.

	10BaseT Full_Duplex	; communication in full duplex mode, speed
				; is 20Mbps.

	100BaseTx		; RJ-45 connector, line speed is 100 Mega
				; bits per second.

	100BaseTx Full_Duplex	; communication in full duplex mode, speed

  8. After that, installation is completed. FASTNIC adapter becomes one of   
     the Installed Adapter Cards and the driver becomes one of the Installed
     Network Software.

     Adapter Cards menu and "10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter Driver" within              
     the Installed Network Software menu.

     A:\WINNT\WNT35 directory to C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\FastNIC.SYS and  
     the OEMSETNT.INF from A:\ to C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 but renamed it to 
     another installation information file (like OEMNAD??.INF). So the next
     time, if you want to add FASTNIC adapters to your system, you do not   
     need the floppy diskette again.(You can skip the file copy operation of
     inserting floppy diskette again)
