Network Drivers Installation Notes
Windows 95 and Microsoft Windows Networking
This document describes how to configure the LAN card
for use with Windows 95 and Microsoft Windows
Networking.
NOTE: The following instructions assume that you have
not installed any other network adapter in the
machine. If you have been using a network
connection on your PC, some of the following
instructions may not apply or may produce
different results. Refer to your MIS department
or system manager for instructions.
Before installing the network driver, you should know
the following:
The name of your Windows 95 workgroup or:
The name of the NT Domain or NT Workgroup to which
you belong
Also, for a successful installation, you will need:
- Windows 95 system installation files (either on hard
disk, floppy disks, or CD)
- 3C574 PC Card and the accompanying Installation disk
To install the driver, follow these steps:
1. Turn on the PC and start Windows 95.
2. Insert the 3C574 PC Card in the system.
If you see an "unknown device" message, go to the
section below titled "Installing Networking."
3. If this is the first installation of Windows 95, on
the Control Panel, double click the PCMCIA icon.
This opens the PC Card (PCMCIA) Wizard.
At this point, the card wizard may ask whether you are
using a PC Card to install windows. This question
typically has to do with whether you are using an
external CD-ROM or floppy drive connected to the PC
through a PC Card. For this installation, the
question probably does not apply. Click NEXT.
The system asks if you are using Real Mode Drivers and
whether to remove them. Select NO and click NEXT.
Click FINISH. At the shutdown prompt, click YES to
shut down the system. When shutdown is complete,
restart the PC.
4. When Windows 95 restarts, the New Hardware Found
dialog box appears and identifies the LAN card.
Select: "Driver from disk provided by Hardware
manufacturer" and click OK.
5. This opens the Install From Disk dialog box.
Indicate the floppy drive you will be using,
insert the Installation disk and click OK.
6. When the system prompts for Location Information,
enter the requested location information and click
OK.
7. When the system prompts for Computer Name and
Group Name, type the names as supplied by your MIS
department or system manager and click OK.
8. As the system copies files, it may ask for
additional diskettes. When finished, it prompts
whether to restart. Remove the Installation disk
and click YES.
9. When the system starts up again, you will be asked
to enter a user name and password for Microsoft
Networking. Type your name and password and click OK.
When prompted to verify your password, retype it and
click OK.
10. You should now be able to see the Network
Neighborhood icon on your desktop. Double-click the
icon to access the network.
