Linksys HPN100 Network Card User Manual


 
Windows NT 4.0 Setup
The instructions below explain how to install HomeLink Phoneline + 10/100
Network PC Card's softwarer drivers for an NT 4.0 server/workstation.
You must know the type of PCMCIA controller that you have in your notebook
-- PCIC compatible or CardBus. Refer to your PC’s user guide or contact the
manufacturer if you are not sure.
Before you begin the installation, you should have your original Windows NT
CD-ROM handy. NT may ask for it in order to install special files onto your
computer during the network driver setup. When this occurs, insert your CD-
ROM or other media into the drive and tell Windows NT to look in the \i386
directory on the appropriate drive. For example, if your CD-ROM is drive D:
on your system, and Windows NT is requesting a file from it, you would type
in D:\i386 and press Enter in order to inform NT of the CD-ROM's location.
Prior to installing the card, you may need to enable NT’s PCMCIA services. To
do this, go to page 60 in the appendix of this guide.
