Windows 2000 Professional installation
See the NetLINE user guide for instructions on installing the PCI card
into the PCI card slot. Make absolutely sure the card is seated all
the way into the PCI slot, and no gold pins are showing in the top of
the slot. After installing the card, restart the computer.
1. Windows will find new hardware and detect the card as a Realtek
8029 PCI Card. This type of card has a certified and digitally
signed driver built into the operating system. The system will
automatically determine that this is the best driver for your
system. You can use the NetLINE PCI Card with this digitally
signed driver.
2. We recommend that you update the driver using the Farallon NetLINE
PCI Card driver on the provided floppy disk.
3. Open the System control panel and select the device manager.
4. Under network adapters, select the Realtek 8029 PCI Card. Then,
click on properties.
5. Select the driver tab and update driver.
6. Select search for the best driver and indicate search the a: drive.
7. Several drivers will be displayed, make sure you pick the netrtp.inf
file located in a:\ or a:\Win2000.
8. Select finished, and the device manager should update showing the
NetLINE PCI Card under network adapters. No restart should be
necessary, but we recommend you restart just to be sure the system
configuration is updated completely.
