Before connecting the ADSL modem to your PC, make sure your system is equipped with an Ethernet controller and supports the TCP/IP protocol.

If your system does not have an embedded Ethernet controller, you must install a network interface card as instructed below (assuming that you are using the ASUS PCI-L101 Fast Ethernet card under the operating system of Windows 98):

1.Install the PCI-L101 card on your motherboard.

2.Power up your PC and follow the Add New Hardware Wizard’s instructions to install the driver. When asked to restart your computer at the end of the installa- tion, click Yes.

3.After restarting the system, right-click My Computer on the desktop, select Properties, click the Device Manager tab, and then double-click Network adapters to confirm that the Ethernet driver is properly installed.
