Before You Begin — Needed Changes to Your System

The following pages discuss the steps needed for a successful notebook connection to a network via EthIR LAN. There are a few changes necessary to achieve this. Some of these steps may require your Windows CD-ROM in order for the system to copy the needed files (unless the CAB files have been copied to your hard disk). Also, some of these changes require a reboot. It may be helpful to do all these steps at one time. Please refer to the page number outlined for each of the following steps and read it carefully first, then perform the needed task.

Remove any Ethernet PCMCIA adapter cards from your notebook. Verify that Dial-Up Adapter is installed in your network configuration
