5.6.5 Specifics of the Auto LANStreamer PCI Adapter

As a result of selecting the Auto LANStreamer PCI Token-Ring Adapter, the window in Figure 73 is displayed. You can either accept the defaults or modify them according to your requirements. In this example, we changed the default (the adapter′s burned-in address) to a locally administered address (LAA). This may be required if there are bridges, routers and gateways interconnecting different networks or network segments.

When using other adapters, the window displayed could look different due the differences in characteristics.

Note

The Auto LANStreamer MCA Adapter driver supplied with NT 4.0 will not work. Please refer to Appendix A, ªSources of Drivers and Informationº on page 147 for details on where to get the latest update of the driver.

Also, when the server shuts down with this adapter installed, it might not reset the adapter properly, forcing you to power off the server completely to correct the problem.

5.6.6 Changing the Protocol Binding Order

Before continuing the installation process, Windows NT Setup gives you the opportunity to review and modify the bindings between adapters, protocols, and services you decided to use with your server. The window in Figure 74 on page 102 is displayed. Normally, you can leave the current bindings unchanged. After the installation process is complete and NT 4.0 is restarted, you still have the opportunity to modify the bindings and their sequence, depending on your requirements.
