- Windows 95 Driver Installation for Asante PCI Adapter
- =====================================================
-
- This section explains how to install the driver to use your AsanteFAST
- 10/100 adapter with Windows 95. The instructions require that you have
- previously installed Windows 95 on the computer without installing a
- network adapter or driver.
-
- Note: The AsanteNIC-PCI adapter is a plug-and-play module with Windows 95;
- no separate driver installation is needed. After inserting the
- AsanteNIC-PCI adapter into your computer, Windows 95 will automatically
- detect and install the proper driver for use with it (in this case,
- PCI Ethernet DECchip 21041 Based Adapter).
-
- The Windows 95 installation disks or CD is needed to complete this installation.
-
- 1. Power on the computer without the adapter plugged in, then start Windows
- 95.
-
- 2. Insert the Asante Driver Disk into floppy drive A and run the PCISETUP.EXE
- program from the Windows 95 Run command.
- This prepares your system for AsanteFAST 10/100 adapter installation.
-
- 3. Shut down Windows 95, then power off the system.
-
- 4. Insert the adapter into the PCI slot, then power on the system and start
- Windows 95.
- When Windows 95 starts, a "New Hardware Found" window appears.
-
- Note: If the "New Hardware Found" window does not appear, you need to
- configure the adapter using the Add New Hardware wizard in the
- Windows 95 Control Panel.
-
- 5. Select "Driver from disk provided by hardware manufacturer", then click
- OK.
-
- 6. Insert the Asante Driver Disk in drive A when prompted, then click OK.
- A dialog box appears requesting Windows 95 system network files.
-
- Note: If you have not installed a network adapter on the computer before,
- Windows 95 may prompt you to enter the computer name and workgroup
- name.
-
- 7. Insert the Windows 95 CD and enter the drive name D:\WIN95, as appropriate.
-
- 8. Click OK.
-
- 9. Remove the disk from the computer.
-
- 10. Click Yes to restart the system.
