You¡¦ll see the Install From Disk dialog box. 3 Insert the mainboard CD disk. 4 For the path, type D:\Network\Intel (for a CD-ROM drive) or A:\ (for floppy), and then click OK. 5 Follow the prompts for any Windows 95 installation disks and restart the computer when prompted. NOTE: If you installed from the CD, the installation files are typically located on your CD-ROM drive at \Network\Intel. After restarting Windows 95, connect to your network by double-clicking the Network Neighborhood icon on the desktop. 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 networking software. ====================================================================== 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
