Linksys ETHERFAST 10/100 - Manual (Page 16)

Windows Millennium Installation
and Setup
After physically installing the EtherFast ® 10/100 LAN Card in your computer,
follow these instructions to install the network device driver. The installation
procedure for the network driver will vary depending on which version of
Windows 98 you are using, and on your current system configuration. If at any
time during the installation you encounter problems, consult the
Troubleshooting
section.
1. Start up your PC in Windows Millennium.
2. Windows ME will automatically detect the
presence of the PCI Ethernet Controller hard-
ware in your PC.
3. Slide the “Linksys LNE100TX (v5) Fast Ethernet Adapter Drivers” diskette
into your floppy drive while the Add New Hardware Wizard window is visi-
ble. Click the Next button.
4. Select "Specify the location of the driver (Advanced)” and click the Next but-
ton.

Note: Do not click Cancel or
Skip at any time during the
installation. Doing so will pre-
vent your driver from being
properly installed on your PC.
13. A Logon window will appear, requiring you to enter a User name and
Password. Make up a user name and password (if you haven’t already) and
click the OK button. Do not click the Cancel button or press the Escape
key. Clicking either of these buttons will prevent you from logging into the
network. If the logon does not appear or if it does not allow you to log on,
refer to the Troubleshooting section.
14. Once you are at the Windows 98 desktop, double-click on the Network
Neighborhood icon. You should see one icon for the entire network and the
names of the other PCs on the network.
• If you can see your computer along with all the other computers on
the network in Network Neighborhood, then the Windows 98 net-
work configuration is complete. Continue with Sharing Your Files
and Printers in the Appendix if you want your PC’s data or printer to
be available to others on the network. You may stop here, however, if
you wish to configure File and Printer Sharing at a later time.
Refer to the Troubleshooting section if:
• You don't see anything at all in Network Neighborhood and have pressed
the F5 key on your keyboard a few times to refresh the screen.
• You only see your own computer in Network Neighborhood.
• You see all computers on the network except yours and have tried press-
ing the F5 key a few times.
• You only see computers that are running the same operating system as you
and you don’t see any others.
