Installing the Network
Interface
This procedure assumes that you are installing the LAN+Modem card on a system
that does not have NT networking installed. If networking is installed, some steps
will not apply and some of the prompts will be slightly different. Refer to your MIS
department for instructions.
Before installing the network interface, insert the LAN+Modem card and connect
to the network as described in “Installing and Connecting the Card” on page 1.
Also, obtain the following information from your MIS department:
■
Your computer name and workgroup or domain name. This is required for
Windows NT networking.
■
Your user name and password. This is required for your network account.
To install the network interface:
1 In the Control Panel, double-click Network.
2 When the system prompts: ”Windows NT Networking is not installed. Do you
want to install it now?”, click Yes. This opens the Network Setup Wizard.
3 Check Wired to the network and click Next.
4 When the system prompts to have setup start searching for a network adapter,
click Select from List.
5 Click Have Disk. Insert the LAN+Modem card Windows 95/98 Installation Disk
into the floppy drive. Specify a:\NT40 and click OK.
6 When the Select OEM Option window opens, select 3Com 10-100 LAN + 56K
Modem PC Card (Ethernet interface) and click OK.
7 The Network Adapters list shows the 3Com LAN+Modem card checked with a
check mark. Click Next to continue.
8 In the Network Protocols list, place a check mark next to each network protocol
required for your site and click Next.
NOTE: If you are reinstalling the card, make sure you have completed the
procedures for “Uninstalling the Card” on page 23. For Windows NT 4.0
installation, you must have Service Pack 3 (or later) installed on your computer.
After installation, reinstall Service Pack 3 to update NT network files and
eliminate error messages in the Event Viewer. Contact your Network
Administrator or Microsoft if you do not have Service Pack 3.
