Phoneline 10M Network Card
Since NT Networking is already installed, you'll only need to install the
HomeLink
® Card driver and configure your network settings to get NT net-
working up and running. To do this:
1. Click on the Start button, select Settings, Control Panel, and then double-
click on the Network icon.
2. When the networking window appears, click on the Adapters tab. Click on
the Add button.
3. When the list of available network adapters appears, click the Have Disk but-
ton.
4. Put the HomeLink ® Installation CD into your CD-ROM drive. Type D:\ into
the box on your screen and click the OK button. NT will copy the necessary
network drivers to your computer.
5. When Linksys Phoneline 10M Network Card Driver appears in the adapter
box, click the OK button.
6. NT will probably ask you to supply your original Windows NT CD-ROM or
setup disks. Supply them as needed.
7. NT may ask you to choose a media type or type of cabling for the HomeLink
card. If so, choose the AutoDetect option and click on the Continue button.
8. When the Network window reappears, click on the Bindings tab. Choose
your bindings. Click on the Protocols tab and select your settings. Do the
same for the Services tab. After your bindings, settings, and services are set,
click the Close button. Choose to restart your PC.
After your computer restarts, the network setup is complete. To see the rest of
the network, double-click on the Network Neighborhood icon that resides on
your NT desktop.
