The Windows 95 operating system automatically detects and installs the NIC driver.
This subsection provides instructions for reinstalling the NIC driver on systems run-
ning a Dell-installed Windows 95 Service Release 2.1 operating system. Instructions
for reinstalling the NIC driver on systems running a Windows 95 operating system not
installed by Dell are also provided.
To determine your operating system version, click the Start button, point to Settings,
and click the Control Panel. Double-click the System icon to access the System
Properties window, and click the General tab. If your system version is 4.00.950 B,
then the operating system is Dell-installed Windows 95 Service Release 2 or later.
The system version is 4.00 for Windows 95 operating systems not installed by Dell.
NOTE: If you reinstall Windows 95, you must use either the Windows 95 operating
system release version provided by Dell or its equivalent. Because of the advanced
architecture of your Dell Precision 210 system, some components will not function
correctly with Windows 95 versions earlier than Service Release 2.0 or 2.1.
To reinstall the NIC driver in a system running Dell-installed Windows 95 Service
Release 2.1, perform the following steps:
1. Use the Program Diskette Maker (located in the Dell Accessories program folder)
to make a diskette copy of the NIC drivers installed on your hard-disk drive.
2. Connect the network cable to the back of your computer.
See “Network Cable Requirements” found earlier in this chapter for detailed
instructions.
3. Verify that the integrated NIC is enabled and connected to its network.
See “NIC” in Chapter 3 for more information.
