After physically connecting the Adapter to your computer’s USB port or hub,
follow these instructions to install the hardware device driver. The installation
procedure for the hardware device driver may vary slightly depending on your
current system configuration. If at any time during the installation you
encounter problems, consult “Appendix A: Troubleshooting.”
1. If you haven’t already, start your computer.
2. Windows 2000 will automatically detect the Adapter connected to your PC.
When the Welcome to the Found New Hardware Wizard screen appears,
insert the Driver CD into your CD-ROM drive, and click the Next button.

13. A Logon screen will appear and require 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
[ESC] key as this 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
“Appendix A: Troubleshooting.”
14. When you are at the Windows Millennium desktop, double-click on the
Network Neighborhood icon. You should see one icon for the entire net-
work 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 Millennium net-
work configuration is complete.
Refer to the “Appendix A: Troubleshooting” if you run into any problems, such
as:
• If you don't see anything at all in Network Neighborhood after pressing
the F5 key on your keyboard a few times to refresh the screen;
• If you only see your own computer in Network Neighborhood;
• If you see all computers on the network except yours after pressing the
F5 key a few times; or
• If you only see computers that are running the same operating system as
you and you don’t see any other computers.
