Configuring Networking
If you purchased a network adapter with your system, it was installed before shipment. You
must configure the operating system to use the network adapter. To do this, you may have to
install network driver software and network adapter control software, and then change
operating system settings to enable networking. Before you configure networking, make sure
that the system has an installed network adapter, and that the network adapter is connected
to a network.
To configure networking, open Network in the Control Panel. Follow the instructions in the
dialogs to set up the system to use a network. Be sure to set up the appropriate network
protocols, such as TCP/IP and NetBEUI, for the network you are connecting to.
See the documentation for the installed network adapter (delivered with the system) for
detailed configuration instructions. See the operating system documentation and Help for
information on setting up the system to use a network.
Configuring a CD-Recorder Drive
If you purchased a CD-Recorder (CD-R) drive with your system, it was installed before
shipment. If you purchased the CD-R drive in place of the standard CD-ROM drive, the
driver software enabling it to be used as a standard CD-ROM drive was installed before
shipment. To use the CD-R drive to record CDs, you must install the CD-R driver software
and any associated application software programs.
See the documentation delivered with the CD-R drive for detailed software installation and
configuration instructions.
Configuring a Tape Drive
If you purchased an internal tape drive with your system, it was installed before shipment.
On a system running Windows 95, you may have to install the driver software and any
associated applications software programs to use the tape drive. On a system running
Windows NT, you can use the Windows NT Backup tool to run the tape drive; select
Programs/Administrative Tools/Backup from the Start menu.
See the documentation delivered with the tape drive for configuration instructions. See the
device documentation, operating system documentation, and Help for information on using
the tape drive.
