If you experience installation difficulties, you may need to re-install all of the
Windows networking components from scratch. The following instructions
explain how to give your PC a blank slate so that you can retry the Adapter’s
driver installation.
1. Start up Windows. Click Start, and select Settings. Open the Control
Panel.
2. Double-click the Network icon. When the Network screen appears, click
the Configuration tab.
3. If the Configuration box has a component called Dial-Up Adapter, go to
step 5. If it doesn’t, go to step 4.
4. Remove any instance of the name Linksys in the box. This includes
IPX/SPX...Linksys, NetBEUI...Linksys, and TCP/IP...Linksys. Also remove
Client for Microsoft Networks, Client for NetWare Networks, and File and
printer sharing for Microsoft Networks.
In some cases, removing one of these components may in turn automatical-
ly remove other components as well. If this happens, go to step 6.
5. For PCs with dial-up networking and/or an AOL adapter, remove any
instance of the name Linksys, all IPX/SPX protocols, all NetBEUI, all
clients, and File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks. Do NOT
remove Dial-Up Adapter, AOL Adapter, TCP/IP-Compatible Protocol-AOL
Adapter, or TCP/IP-Compatible Protocol-Dial-Up Adapter.
6. When you have completed the removal of the aforementioned components,
click the OK button. When you are asked to restart the computer, click the
No button.
