WINDOWS
Overview
This chapter explains the following tasks on a computer
running Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows 98, or
Windows 95:
■ Install the network driver and NIC software using
EtherCD

■ Install multiple NICs

The network driver can be used in both Microsoft

Software Installation Requirements
Before you install software, you may want to verify that
the installed server NICs are functional or change their
configuration settings by running DOS diagnostics. Use the
3C99XCFG.EXE program located on the EtherCD.
If you are installing the software during the installation of
the network operating system, see Installing a 3Com NIC
While Installing the NOS on page 167.
For a list of minimum installation prerequisites, see
Installation Requirements on page 28.
For instructions on using the installation diskettes (which
can be created from the EtherCD) to install the network
driver, see Installing From Diskette on page 29. For
additional information, see the text file for your operating
system in the HELP directory on the EtherCD.
