This chapter describes how to install the network driver in your PC. You must install the network driver so that the OfficeConnect NIC can transmit and receive data over the network.

Instructions are provided for the following operating systems supported by the OfficeConnect NIC:

■Windows 95

■Windows 98

■Windows NT

Go to the appropriate section in this chapter for your operating system.

If a NIC has already been installed in your PC, you must remove its network driver before you install the driver for the OfficeConnect NIC. To find out whether a NIC has already been installed in your PC, and to remove its driver, follow the steps in “Removing NIC Software” in Chapter 4.

Windows 95

To install the network driver under Windows 95, you need the Windows 95 installation files. These files may be on a CD or diskettes, or they may have been copied to your hard drive when Windows 95 was installed on your system.

The version of Windows 95 installed on your PC determines which of the driver installation procedures to use.

To determine the Windows 95 version installed on your PC:

1Right-click the My Computer icon, and then click Properties.
