Network Driver Setup
Follow these instructions carefully. You can view or print the setup directions
from your favorite word processor, or if you prefer, use the reader that is
included on the 10/100 card's disk. To access the reader, put the HomeLink
10/100 PC Card disk into drive A and run the README.EXE program.
To run the program from DOS, for example, you would type:
a:\readme.exe
and press Enter. If you are using Windows 3.x, you could click on File and
Run in the Program Manager, type a:\readme.exe, and press Enter.
Preparing to Install the Software
Setting up the HomeLink card's software involves installing a network driver
onto your computer. The driver will allow the card to communicate with your
Windows software package. Before attempting to install a network driver for
the HomeLink card, Windows 95, 98 or NT should already be installed on your
computer. The HomeLink Phoneline + 10/100 Network PC Card driver setup
for these three operating systems is covered in this user guide.
You will need a floppy drive on every PC onto which you wish to install the
network drivers. We recommend that you read through the installation instruc-
tions for your operating system before continuing with the installation.
• Windows 98 instructions are on page 16
• Windows 95 instructions are on page 24
• Windows NT 4.0 instructions are on page 31
If you are using Windows 2000, also known as Windows NT 5.0, the drivers
for your operating system are included on the HomeLink floppy diskette. If you
received a diskette without the Windows 2000 drivers, you can get them from
the Download Center on the Linksys website. Please note that the drivers and
the operating system are still in development. When Microsoft officially releas-
es the Windows 2000 operating system, Linksys will provide updated drivers
and technical support for the operating system. If you choose to install the
HomeLink Phoneline + 10/100 Network PC Card on a Windows 2000 PC, you
do so at your own risk.
