II.Intel 82550 Network Driver Installation

The Windows 2000 system can recognize onboard Intel LAN chip as Intel 8255x-based PCI Ethernet Adapter [10/100] . Basically, user doesn t need to load/change any driver for onboard LAN device. How- ever, you can change the bundled network driver on Windows 2000 by following approach.

A. Preparing Intel 82550 Lan Driver Diskette

If you need to use a floppy disk to install the on-board Intel 82550 network adapter drivers, use the MAKEDISK.BAT utility located in the \Drivers\LAN\MAKEDISK directory on ASUS Driver Support CD.

MAKEDISK [operating system] [destination]

where [operating system] is the OS for which you are creating the diskette, and [destination] is the drive letter and path (such as A:). If no destination is specified, the A: drive will be used. The possible [operating system] options are:

NT = Microsoft Windows NT

W2K = Microsoft Windows* 2000

NW = Novell NetWare servers and clients

Make sure you have a 1.44 MB formatted, non-bootable diskette in the floppy drive when using this utility. Alternately, you can use the MAKEW2K.BAT files (located in the \Drivers\LAN\MAKEDISK directory on this CD) to simplify this process:

MAKEW2K.BAT — Creates a drivers disk for Windows 2000
