Microsoft MN-730 Step 2: Run the Setup Wizard

8 Microsoft Broadband Networking Wireless PCI Adapter User’s Guide

3. If you are setting up an adapter on a computer that is already connected to a

network over Ethernet, disconnect the computer from the network.

Note After you set up the wireless adapter, you can still return to using the Ethernet

connection (instead of the wireless connection) at times if you want to. For some tasks

that you might perform on your network, using an Ethernet connection may increase

the data transfer rate. However, if you switch to an Ethernet connection, you will

typically not notice an increase in speed when you access the Internet over your

broadband connection.

Step 2: Run the Setup Wizard

1. Insert the Setup CD into your CD drive. If the Setup Wizard does not start

automatically after a few seconds, open My Computer, double-click the CD icon,

and then double-click Setup or Setup.exe.

Note During setup, you may be prompted to restart your computer or insert your

Windows operating system CD. You may also need to specify the location of the

required setup files on the Windows CD. Do this by typing the drive letter of your CD

drive and the appropriate directory (for example, D:\win98).

2. On the first screen that appears, click Set Up a Product.

The wizard will detect any components that are missing on your computer and

specify which of these components are required for setup and which are optional.

3. Continue following the instructions in the wizard to install missing components (as

necessary).

4. When the wizard asks whether you are setting up a base station or an adapter, click

Network adapter.

5. When the wizard asks which network adapter you are setting up, click Wireless-G

PCI Adapter (MN-730).

6. Continue following the instructions in the Setup Wizard. If you have a question, click

a Help link on the screen for more information.

If you need to cancel setup before it is complete, you can rerun the wizard. When

the Setup Wizard restarts, click Set Up a Product.

7. When the wizard prompts you to install the PCI adapter on your computer, click

Next and then shut down your computer.
