Using the Setup Wizard
This chapter will guide you through the setup process for your Microsoft
®
Broadband
Networking Wireless PCI Adapter. To set up your adapter, you need a computer that:
O
Is running Microsoft Windows
®
XP, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 2000
Professional, Windows 98, or Windows 98 SE operating system.
O
Has an available PCI card slot.
The steps in this chapter correspond to the steps that you will go through in the wizard
on the Setup CD.
Note If you don’t want to use the Setup Wizard to set up your adapter, and you have
Windows XP, it is possible to set up your adapter by using the Add Hardware Wizard and
the Wireless Network Connection utility in Windows. However, using the Setup Wizard is
recommended because the Setup Wizard installs the network utility software and
configures your wireless network settings.
Step 1: Gather Components, Tools, and Information
1. Take the following items to your computer:
O
Setup and Network Utility CD
O
Microsoft Wireless PCI Adapter
O
This User’s Guide
O
Documentation from your computer’s manufacturer

The floppy disk, file, printout, or written record of network settings that you
created when setting up your network. (If you don’t have a saved copy of your
network settings, see Appendix A, “Determining Your Network Settings.”)
O
Installation CD for your Windows operating system if your computer is running
Windows Me, Windows 98, or Windows 98 SE
Note You can use the Setup and Network Utility CD (v.2.0) that comes with this
adapter to install all current and previous versions of Microsoft Broadband Networking
products. If you have other Microsoft Broadband Networking products on your network,
you do not need to keep multiple copies of this CD and you can discard earlier versions
of this CD.

the Administrator group. If you are not logged on as an administrator, click Start,
