Microsoft Windows 95

This section explains how to install the driver to use your Asanté 10NIC-PCI adapter with Windows 95.

ΔNote:If you are installing Windows 95 for the first time, the Plug and Play technology of Windows 95 will automatically detect the Asanté 10NIC-PCI adapter.

It will select, and ask to install, the generic “PCI Ethernet DEC- chip 21041 Based Adapter” driver from the Windows 95 soft- ware.Although this driver will work with the Asanté 10NIC-PCI adapter, Asanté recommends you instead install the Asanté driver.

The following instructions assume you have just installed the 10NIC-PCI adapter in a PC already equipped with Windows 95:

1

Start the computer.

 

During startup,Windows 95 will detect any new card in the

 

PCI bus and present a dialog box titled New Hardware Found. It

 

will state the 10NIC-PCI is a “PCI Ethernet DECchip 21041

 

Based Adapter”.

 

After a few seconds, you will then see a Networkdialog box

 

stating that “You must provide computer and workgroup

 

names that will identify the computer on the network” (this

 

dialog will only appear if you have never previously con-

 

nected this computer to a network).

2

Click OKto dismiss this dialog box.

 

A different dialog box, again called Network, appears with

three tabs labeled Configuration, Identification, and Access Control.
