Windows 95
Windows 95 Automatic Configuration
PCI computers automatically detect and configure PCI-compliant adapters
while booting. The BIOS automatically sets the adapter IRQ level and I/O
address each time you start your computer.
Start your computer to automatically configure the adapter. Resource configura-
tion is complete when Windows 95 starts.
If your computer displays an error while booting, it may require additional steps
to configure. See the section PCI Installation Tips later in this guide for more
information.
Install Network Drivers from Disk
Have your Windows 95 installation CD or diskettes available, since you’ll be
prompted for them when you install the new adapter.
1 After you put the adapter in the computer and connect the cable, start
Windows 95.
You’ll see the New Hardware Found dialog box.
NOTE:
If this box does not appear and Windows 95 starts normally, you may
need to manually add the adapter. See the MS.TXT readme file in the
\MS directory for more information.
2 Click “Driver from disk provided by hardware manufacturer,” then click
OK. You’ll see the Install From Disk dialog box.
3 Insert the PRO/100+ adapter disk.
4 Specify D:\ (or the appropriate drive letter for the CD-ROM drive) or A:\
(for floppy) as the path, then click OK.
5 Follow prompts for any Windows 95 installation disks and restart when
prompted.
NOTE
:If you installed from the CD, the installation files are typically located
at D:\Win95, where D is your CD-ROM drive.
After restarting Windows 95, connect to your network by double-clicking the
Network Neighborhood icon on the desktop.
Windows Troubleshooting
If you can’t connect to a server or if Windows 95/98 reports an error after you
double-click Network Neighborhood, try the suggestions here first, then turn to
the section Troubleshooting and FAQs if necessary.
• Make sure you’re using the drivers that are on the drivers disk that ships
with this adapter.
• Make sure the driver is loaded and the protocols are bound. Check the
Device Properties list for trouble indicators (an X or ! symbol).
