Installing a 3C359B NIC Driver for Windows Environments 57
Before Installing a Windows Driver
Before you install a Windows driver, make sure that the
3C359B NIC is inserted in the PC as described in Chapter 2,
and that Windows is installed.
Have the Windows software accessible on diskettes, CD, or
hard drive in case the installation utility requests protocol
files from the Windows software library.
If your network environment uses the TCP/IP
communications protocol, you must obtain from your
network administrator all the information you will need
to define an IP address during the installation process.
3Com recommends that you use the NetBEUI or TCP/IP
protocol stacks when installing the 3C359B NIC in a
Windows 95 client attaching to a Windows NT server.
Installing a Driver for Windows 98
To install the network driver in a PC running Windows 98:
1 Make sure that the NIC is installed in your PC and that it
is connected to the network, as described in Chapter 2.
2 Turn on the power to the PC.
Windows 98 detects the NIC. The Add New Hardware
Wizard (Figure 5) starts.
