Checking your Network Protocols (Windows 9x)
Your PC must have EITHER the TCP/IP or NetBEUI protocols installed. (All versions of
Windows after Windows 95 have TCP/IP installed by default.)
• If using the Peer-to-peer Printing, the installation program will check this for you.
• If using other methods, you must check manually, as follows:
1. Select the Settings - Control Panel - Network option on the Start Menu. You should see a
screen like the one following:
Figure 4: Network Configuration
• The top line in the list (NetBEUI -> PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter) indicates that the
NetBEUI protocol is installed on this PC. Your PC will show the name of the your
Network card rather than "PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter".
• The highlighted line (TCP/IP -> PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter) indicates that TCP/IP is
installed. Your PC will show the name of the your Network card rather than "PCI Fast
Ethernet Adapter".
2. If neither line is present:
• Install the NetBEUI protocol by selecting Add - Protocol - Microsoft - NetBEUI - OK.
You may be prompted for your Windows CD-ROM.
• If required, you can also install TCP/IP. However, depending on your LAN
environment, TCP/IP may require further configuration.
3. If either protocol is already installed, proceed with installation.
