Windows for Workgroups v3.11 and Microsoft Windows
Networking

This document describes how to configure the 3C574 PC
Card for use with Windows for Workgroups v3.11 and
Microsoft Windows Networking.

This file also describes how to install the LAN card
under WFW 3.11 to allow simultaneous NetWare and
Microsoft Server Connectivity.

If you are going to install the Novell NetWare client
in addition to the Microsoft Windows networking
client, you must install the Novell NetWare client
first.

Microsoft Windows for Workgroups (WFW) v3.11 does not
include internal support for the Plug and Play
standard.  Since NDIS 3.1 (32 BIT) Drivers operate
only in Plug and Play environments, you cannot operate
the LAN PC card with the included 32-bit driver. To
ensure support for Windows for Workgroups v3.11, 3Com
includes a 16-bit NDIS 2.0 driver. This driver offers
full support for Windows for Workgroups, but may
affect system performance. To resolve this deficiency
with Windows for Workgroups 3.11, you may want to
upgrade your operating system to Windows 95.  Check
with your MIS department or system manager before
doing this.

NOTE: The following instructions assume you have not
installed any other network adapter in the machine. If
networking has already been installed, some of the
instructions will not apply or appear accurate.
Consult with your MIS department for further
instructions.

Before installing the network driver, you should
gather the following information and have it handy for
supplying information to the setup dialog boxes:

      - Transport used in the Microsoft Windows
         Network (typically IPX/SPX)
      - The Frame type used by the Microsoft Windows
        Network (typically 802.3)
      - Name of the NT Server domain or
        Windows 95/WFW 3.11 Workgroup to which you
        belong.  
      - The latest versions of the Card and Socket
        Services installed on your machine. Check
        with your PC manufacturer if you are not
        sure.

You will need to have the following software
components accessible and ready to use:

      - Windows for Workgroups v3.11 installation
        files (either on hard disk, floppy
        diskettes, or CD)
      - The EtherDisk diskette that came with your
        LAN PC card

Installing a New Client

1. From Windows, open the Network group. Double click
   on the Network Setup icon to open the Network Setup
   dialog box. If networking has not been installed,
   you will see nothing in the network drivers window.
   If it looks like networking has been installed,
   ignore this procedure and use Installing an
   Additional Client, below.

2. Click on the Networks icon to open the Networks
   dialog box. At the left edge of the dialog box, you
   will see three radio buttons, describing the type of
   network support that Windows offers.  
   If you see the name of another network client 
   listed on the bottom of this window, see 
   Installing an Additional Client, below.

3. Select Install Microsoft Windows Network and click
   OK.

4. Click Drivers to open the Network Drivers dialog
   box.

5. Click Add Adapter to display a list of possible
   choices for adapter. Select Unlisted or Updated
   Network Adapter and click OK.

6. At the Install Driver prompt, insert the EtherDisk
   in the floppy drive and click OK. Select FE574B-3Com
   10/100 LAN PCCard-Fast Ethernet and click OK.  You
   will see the following added to the list of network
   drivers:

FE574B-3Com 10/100 LAN PCCard-Fast Ethernet [NDIS2]

7. Click CLOSE. When the Network Setup Dialog box
   reopens, it will show the LAN card in the Network
   Drivers window.  Click OK.

8. Supply the information requested in the Microsoft
   Windows Network Names dialog box. Your MIS department
   or network manager should be able to supply the
   information you need.  When the information is
   complete, click OK. 

9. The installer will request various disks for
   installation.  When finished, you will be asked to
   reboot the system. You will have network access when
   the system restarts. Refer to your Windows Manual for
   instructions on using Microsoft Windows Networking.
