For information on administrative users and privileges, see your Windows NT documentation.

5.Double-click My Computer, double-click Control Panel, and then double-click the Network icon.

NOTE: If you are installing networking on your system for the first time, the Win- dows NT operating system displays a message asking if you want to install networking. Click Yes, and refer to your Windows NT documentation for instructions.
