Install The Driver
------------------

1.  Install the card in the PCI slot and connect the cable to the network;
    turn on the computer and start Windows ME. **HAVE YOUR WINDOWS ME CD
    ROM AVAILABLE** because you will need to copy some additional system
    files.

2.  When Windows ME starts, a "Add New Hardware Wizard" dialog box appears
    identifying the card as a "PCI Ethernet Controller".

    f. Select "PCI Ethernet Controller" then click "Remove" button to
       remove it.

       Note, if you do not see any "PCI Ethernet Controller", Windows ME
       fails to detect your adapter. There may be problem with the adapter
       itself or with the system BIOS.

    g. Click Refresh and a "Add New Hardware Wizard" appears identifying
       the card as a "PCI Ethernet Controller";
    h. goto next step.

3. Select:
	"Specify the location of the driver {Advanced}"
   Click Next

4. Select:
	"Search for the best driver for your device. {Recommended}"
     AND
	"Specify a location"

   NOTE:  Uncheck "Removeable Media {Floppy, CD-ROM...}"

5. Click on the Browse button to direct Win ME to the path  
   where the driver resides.		
   Windows ME will find the .inf Netoem.inf in the path specified.  

6. Select NEXT.
   Windows identifies the adapter as "SiS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter"
   or "Integrated 10/100 Ethernet Controller"
	
7. Click on Finish to let Window ME finish the driver installation.

             Unless necessary, do NOT modify this field and let the
             system use the default Ethernet address contained in the
             serial ROM on the adapter.

7. After setting the properties, you must restart your computer to
   make the changes effective.
