before installing the drivers, make sure you have inserted the adapter in the computer and plugged in the cable. intel? pro/100 and intel? pro/1000 server adapters are not supported on windows 98.

    when windows 98 discovers the new adapter, the found new hardware wizard automatically starts.

    1 if you are installing drivers from the intel cd, insert the intel cd in the cd-rom drive. if the autorun program on the cd displays, ignore it.

    2 in the add new hardware wizard window, click next.

    3 choose the search option and click next.

    4 if you are installing drivers from the intel cd, click the cd-rom checkbox on the locate driver window. make sure it is the only checkbox selected.

    if you downloaded drivers from the intel support website, click the specify location checkbox instead and browse to the directory containing the drivers.

    5 click next.

    6 windows 98 searches for a driver. when the search is complete, a message indicates that a driver was found. click update driver.

    7 click next.

    8 click next again.

    9 the necessary files are copied to your computer. the wizard displays a completed message.

    10 click finish.

    installing additional adapters

    when you use the found new hardware wizard to install drivers, windows 2000 installs the driver for the first adapter and then automatically installs additional drivers.

    there are no special instructions for installing drivers of non-intel adapters, for example, for multi-vendor fault tolerance. follow the instructions that are shipped with that adapter.

    advanced settings for windows

    to view or change advanced settings for your driver/adapter, use the intel? proset software. advanced settings vary by adapter, and are described in the intel proset help.

    only expert users or network administrators should change advanced settings. you may severely affect your adapter's operation by changing a parameter to a value that is not compatible with your network.
