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 2000.

2.  When Windows 2000 starts, a "Found New Hardware Wizard" dialog box appears
    identifying the card as a "Ethernet Controller";
    Select "Search for a suitable driver for your device [Recommended]".

    NOTE, if the "Found New Hardware Wizard" dialog box does not appear,
    Windows 2000 fails to detect your adapter. There may be problem with the
    adapter itself or with the system BIOS.

3.  Click Next then enable the "Specify a location" check box; specify the
    correct path in which SiS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter driver for
    Windows 2000 resides.

4.  Click Next then Windows ME identifies the card as
    "SiS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter"

5.  Click Next to let Windows 2000 finishes the driver installation.

4. Click "Hardware" tab then click "Device Manager..."
5. Open "Network Adapters" icon.
6. Double click

             100BaseTX Full_Duplex
             10BaseT Full_Duplex

             Override the adapter's Ethernet address. Legal values are

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