Making Floppy Disks for NetWare and Windows Installation
==============================================================
You need to use a floppy disk to install the adapter drivers, use
the MAKEDISK.BAT utility located in the Lan\Intel55x\MAKEDISK directory
on this CD.
MAKEDISK [operating system] [destination]
where [operating system] is the OS for which you are creating the
diskette, and [destination] is the drive letter and path (such
as A:). If no destination is specified, the A: drive will be used.
The possible [operating system] options are:
NT = Microsoft Windows NT
W2K = Microsoft Windows* 2000
W9X = Microsoft Windows* 95 and Windows 98 and Windows* ME
NW = Novell NetWare servers and clients
DOS = Microsoft DOS and IBM OS2
MODEM = Modem drivers for the PRO/100 Mobile Combo adapters
for all Microsoft operating systems.
Make sure you have a 1.44 MB formatted, non-bootable diskette in
the floppy drive when using this utility.
NOTE: Due to size limitations, PROSet and other advanced features
cannot be installed from the floppy disk.
NOTE: This utility MUST be run from the \MAKEDISK directory.
Alternately, you can use the following .BAT files (located
in the \MAKEDISK directory on this CD) to simplify this process:
MAKEW9X.BAT -- Creates a drivers disk for Windows 95 and
Windows 98.
MAKENT.BAT -- Creates drivers disks for Windows NT.
MAKEW2K.BAT -- Creates a drivers disk for Windows 2000.
MAKENW.BAT -- Creates a drivers disk for Novell NetWare
servers and clients.
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
