Using Network PC Cards

Your Internet PC can support many types of Ethernet-based and Token Ring-based
network cards. This support allows you to connect to other computers, printers,
modems, and the Internet.
The Microsoft Windows 98 Getting Started guide and the documentation that came
with your network card will have more information about setting up to use a
network or compatible network card.
Compaq Netelligent PC Card is one of the compatible network PC Cards you can
use with your computer. The Compaq Web site lists many compatible network
cards:

PC Card Software

Some types of PC Cards require card-specific device drivers. Contact your PC
Card manufacturer for additional information.

Configuring PC Cards

The PC Card software needed to easily install and configure PC Cards in Windows
is provided on your Internet PC.
You do not need to turn off your computer or initiate Sleep mode before inserting a
PC Card.
When you insert a PC Card for the first time, Windows identifies the new hardware
and automatically determines the correct settings for the card to install the needed
PC Card drivers. You may be prompted to make simple setup choices. Once you
have completed setup for a PC Card, each time you insert that card, Windows
remembers the correct settings and configures it automatically.
Depending on the card and the version of PC Card software you are using, you
may have to turn on PC Card drivers or install device drivers. Your computer
features easy-to-follow popup windows to guide you through the process.
