Network Drivers Installation Notes
WINDOWS 95 AND MICROSOFT WINDOWS NETWORKING
This document describes how to configure the 3C589D PC Card for
use with Windows 95 and Microsoft Windows Networking. These
procedures are also described in the EtherLink III PC Card User.
NOTE: The following instructions assume that you have not
installed any other network adapter in the machine. If you
have been using a network connection on your PC,
some of the following instructions may not apply or may
produce different results. Refer to your MIS department
or system manager for instructions.
Before installing the network driver, you should know the
following:
The name of your Windows 95 workgroup or:
The name of the NT Domain or NT Workgroup to which
you belong
Also, for a successful installation, you will need:
- Windows 95 system installation files (either on hard
disk, floppy diskettes, or CD)
- 3C589D PC LAN PC Card and the accompanying EtherDisk
diskette
To install the driver, follow these steps:
1. Turn on the PC and start Windows 95.
2. Insert the 3C589D PC Card in the system.
If you see an "unknown device" message, go to the section
below titled "Installing Networking."
3. If this is the first installation of Windows 95, on the
Control Panel, double click the PCMCIA icon. This
opens the PC Card (PCMCIA) Wizard.
At this point, the card wizard may ask whether you are
using a PC Card to install windows. This question typically
has to do with whether you are using an external CD-ROM or
floppy drive connected to the PC through a PC Card.
For this installation, the question probably does not apply.
Click NEXT.
The system asks if you are using Real Mode Drivers and
whether to remove them. Select NO and click NEXT.
Click FINISH. At the shutdown prompt, click YES to shut down
the system. When shutdown is complete, restart the PC.
4. When Windows 95 restarts, the New Hardware Found
dialog box appears and identifies the 3Com Corporation 3C589D PC
Card. Since the driver for the LAN PC Card is not
included with Windows 95, select: "Driver from disk
provided by Hardware manufacturer" and click OK.
5. This opens the Install From Disk dialog box. Indicate the
floppy drive you will be using, insert the EtherDisk, and
click OK.
6. When the system prompts for Location Information, enter the
requested location information and click OK.
7. When the system prompts for Computer Name and Group
Name, type the names as supplied by your MIS department
or system manager and click OK.
NOTE: The PC name and the workgroup name apply to
Microsoft Networking, which is installed by default.
8. As the system copies files, it may ask for additional diskettes.
When finished, it prompts whether to restart. Remove the
EtherDisk and click YES.
9. When the system starts up again, you will be asked to enter
a user name and password for Microsoft Networking. Type
your name and password and click OK. When prompted to
verify your password, retype it and click OK.
10. You should now be able to see the Network Neighborhood
icon on your desktop. Double-click the icon to access the
network.
