Configuring the
Windows 95 Driver
Before configuring the PC Card and software, you will need to know:
■
The version of Windows 95 installed on your notebook. The OfficeConnect 10/100 LAN CardBus PC Card will
operate only in notebooks running Windows 95 OSR 2 or later.
■
Your network file server name, network account user name, and password.
For unattended installation, see the \unattend\win95 directory on the Installation CD.
Determining Your Version of Windows 95
1 Select My Computer/Control Panel/System.
The System Properties dialog box appears.
2 Select General.
The Windows 95 version information appears. The PC Card will operate only with Windows 95 OSR 2, which
is identified as 4.00.950b or 4.00.950c.
Version A is identified as 4.00.950 or 4.00.950a. The PC Card will not operate with Version A of Windows 95.
Installing the Driver
1 Insert the PC Card as described in “Connecting the PC Card” on page 2.
2 Turn the notebook on.
The New Hardware Found window appears briefly, and then the Update Device Driver Wizard window
states:“Windows has detected the PCI Ethernet Controller.”
3 Insert the Installation CD and click Next to begin driver installation.
The following message appears: “Windows found the following updated driver for the device:
FE573B-3Com 10/100 LAN CardBus-Fast Ethernet.”
4 Click Finish to accept the driver.
If you are prompted for the Installation CD during installation, make sure that the drive letter of the
CD-ROM drive is entered as the designated path. If, during installation, the 3Com driver cannot be found,
enter x:\ (where “x” is the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive) to point Windows to the Installation CD.
If prompted, remove the Installation CD and insert the Windows 95 CD. You can specify a location on your
hard disk where the Windows 95 files reside. Typically, this location is C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS. Click OK
to copy the files needed for the Ethernet interface.
Wait while Windows checks your current network configuration. The required time depends on your settings
for network software components. If you are prompted for Computer name or Workgroup name, enter the
appropriate name and click OK. If you have difficulties, see your network administrator.
A dialog box appears, stating: “Windows has finished installing the software that your new hardware
device requires.”
5 When Windows prompts you whether to reboot the notebook, remove any CDs from the CD-ROM
drive, and click Yes.
The PC Card and software are now installed.
