5.6.5 Specifics of the Auto LANStreamer PCI Adapter
As a result of selecting the Auto LANStreamer PCI Token-Ring Adapter, the
window in Figure 73 is displayed. You can either accept the defaults or modify
them according to your requirements. In this example, we changed the default
(the adapter′s burned-in address) to a locally administered address (LAA). This
may be required if there are bridges, routers and gateways interconnecting
different networks or network segments.

When using other adapters, the window displayed could look different due the
differences in characteristics.
Note
The Auto LANStreamer MCA Adapter driver supplied with NT 4.0 will not
work. Please refer to Appendix A, “Sources of Drivers and Information” on
page 147 for details on where to get the latest update of the driver.
Also, when the server shuts down with this adapter installed, it might not
reset the adapter properly, forcing you to power off the server completely to
correct the problem.
5.6.6 Changing the Protocol Binding Order
Before continuing the installation process, Windows NT Setup gives you the
opportunity to review and modify the bindings between adapters, protocols, and
services you decided to use with your server. The window in Figure 74 on
page 102 is displayed. Normally, you can leave the current bindings unchanged.
After the installation process is complete and NT 4.0 is restarted, you still have
the opportunity to modify the bindings and their sequence, depending on your
requirements.
