Windows Troubleshooting
If you can¡¦t connect to a server or if Windows 95/98 reports an error after you
double-click Network Neighborhood, try the suggestions here first, then turn to
the Troubleshooting and FAQs section if necessary.
¡E Make sure you¡¦re using the drivers that are on the drivers disk that ships
with this adapter.
¡E Make sure the driver is loaded and the protocols are bound. Check the
Device Properties list for trouble indicators (an X or ! symbol).
¡E Test the adapter with the PROSet advanced configuration utility that was
installed on your system when you installed the Intel adapter. To start
PROSet, double-click the Intel(R) PROSet icon in Control Panel. To run
diagnostics, select the adapter and click the Diagnostics tab, then click Run
Tests. For additional information, click Help in the PROSet window.
¡E Check with your LAN administrator ¡X you may need to install additional

======================================================================
Windows NT
Windows NT Automatic Configuration
PCI computers automatically detect and configure PCI-compliant adapters
while starting the computer. The adapter IRQ level and I/O address are automat-ically
set by the BIOS each time you start your computer.
Start your computer to automatically configure the adapter. Configuration is
complete when Windows NT starts or when the DOS prompt appears.
If your computer displays an error while booting, it may require additional steps
to configure. See the PCI Installation Tips section later in this guide for more
information.
Adding an Adapter While Installing Windows NT
The Intel driver that ships with Windows NT 4.0 is an older driver that may not
support the Intel adapter.
Therefore, if you want to install the Intel adapter software while installing Win-dows
NT, you need to either install the adapter after the installation of Windows
NT is complete, or install the adapter software from a floppy installation disk
created from the Intel adapter CD (using the MAKENT.BAT file on the root of
the CD). When running the MAKENT.BAT batch file, you may see an error
message indicating that a .CAT file could not be copied. Ignore this message.
Windows NT Version 4.0 Only
After putting the adapter in the computer, connecting the cable, and starting
Windows NT; you need to install the correct drivers.
1 Double-click the Network icon in Control Panel.
2 Click the Adapters tab.
3 Click A dd. You¡¦ll see a list of adapters.
4 Don¡¦t select an adapter from this list. Instead, insert the Mainboard Utility CD disk
or CD into the appropriate drive and click Have Disk.
5 Specify the appropriate drive D:\Network\Intel (for a CD-ROM drive) in the dialog box and
click OK. Then follow the prompts to complete installation. When the adapter is added you will
see a new adapter listed in the Network adapters list.
6 Click Close to finish.
7 Restart Windows NT when prompted.
======================================================================
Windows* 2000
NOTE TO USERS OF INTEL PRO/100 S ADAPTERS: If Windows 2000 is
enabled for IPSec encryption, the PRO/100 S adapter automatically offloads the
intensive encryption and authentication functions onto the IPSec co-processor on
the adapter. (The PRO/100 S adapter driver registers with the operating system to
automatically enable this function.) The result is an increase in throughput and a
decrease in CPU utilization.
NOTE: In order to enable 3DES encryption in Windows 2000, you must install the
Windows 2000 High Encryption Pack. (By default, Windows 2000 ships with DES
support only). This pack is available at the Microsoft download page at:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/recommended/encryption/
Updating Network Drivers from Disk
After you put the Intel adapter in the computer, you should connect the network
cable, plug in the power cord and start the computer. Windows automatically
installs a driver for the adapter from its own library of drivers. If it does not have
the proper driver, click the Have Disk button and follow the instructions on the
screen to install the correct driver from the Intel adapter CD.
Even if Windows has the correct driver, you should install the driver that is
included on the Intel adapter CD to ensure you have the complete set of features
for your adapter as described in this guide. You can install this driver manually
using the following instructions:
1 Insert the Mainboard Utility CD in the CD-ROM drive. (If the Intel ÆÊ Product
Setup Autorun screen appears, you may close it.)
2 From the Control Panel, double-click the System icon, select the Hardware
tab, and click the Device Manager button.
3 Expand the ¡§Network Adapters¡¨ listing by clicking the plus sign in front of
it. Highlight the Intel(R) adapter listing, right-click to display its menu, and
select Properties.
4 From the Properties dialog box, click the Driver tab and click the Update
Driver button. The Update Device Driver Wizard appears. Click Next.
5 At the prompt ¡§What do you want the wizard to do?¡¨, select the ¡§Search for
a suitable driver for my device¡¨ radio button and click Next.
6 Select the CD-ROM drives check box and click Next.
7 Select the ¡§Install one of the other drivers¡¨ check box and click Next.
8 Select the driver on the Intel adapter CD and click Next.
9 Restart your computer if prompted.
NOTE: If you have multiple Intel adapters installed in your computer, you must
repeat the steps above for each adapter.
After restarting your computer, connect to your network by double-clicking the
My Network Places icon on the desktop.
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.
