II. Intel 82550 Network Driver Installation
The Windows 2000 system can recognize onboard Intel LAN chip as
Intel 8255x-based PCI Ethernet Adapter [10/100] . Basically, user
doesn t need to load/change any driver for onboard LAN device. How-
ever, you can change the bundled network driver on Windows 2000 by
following approach.
A. Preparing Intel 82550 Lan Driver Diskette
If you need to use a floppy disk to install the on-board Intel 82550 network adapter
drivers, use the MAKEDISK.BAT utility located in the \Drivers\LAN\MAKEDISK
directory on ASUS Driver Support CD.
MAKEDISK [operating system] [destination]
where [operating system] is the OS for which you are creating the diskette, and
[destination] is the drive letter and path (such as A:). If no destination is specified,
the A: drive will be used. The possible [operating system] options are:
NT = Microsoft Windows NT
W2K = Microsoft Windows* 2000
NW = Novell NetWare servers and clients
Make sure you have a 1.44 MB formatted, non-bootable diskette in the floppy drive
when using this utility. Alternately, you can use the MAKEW2K.BAT files (located
in the \Drivers\LAN\MAKEDISK directory on this CD) to simplify this process:
MAKEW2K.BAT — Creates a drivers disk for Windows 2000
