Software Installation
Preparing to Install the Software
Setting up the EtherFast card's software involves installing a network driver onto your computer. The driver will allow the card to communicate with your Network Operating System software package, or NOS. Popular NOSs include Windows 98, Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95, Windows NT, Novell NetWare, and many others. The 3.5" software disk that is included with the EtherFast card contains network drivers for most NOS packages, along with instructions describing how to install them.
Before attempting to install a network driver for the EtherFast card, your NOS should already be installed on your computer.
If you are using Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT, or Novell NetWare, you will find the EtherFast card's network driver setup instructions printed in this user guide. Turn now to the appropriate section of this booklet to install the EtherFast card's network driver for your particular NOS.
If you are using a NOS package other than the five list- ed above, you will find the network driver installation instructions on Program disk 1 that is included with the card. To read and/or print the network driver setup instructions for your particular network software pack- age, insert the disk 1 into your computer's floppy disk drive and run the program on the disk called README.EXE. If you are using Windows 95, for example, you could click on Start, then Run, and type a:\readme to run the README program on the disk. After following the instructions on the EtherFast card disk, the EtherFast card will be ready for use.
