Installing Network Drivers

✎
1–8
The device drivers in the network software enable the computer to
communicate with the network. Because HP does not know which
network operating system you'll be using, the computer comes ready
to work with several different environments.
The device drivers for the network controller enable the drivers to
load correctly in the operating system used, allowing communication
with the network.
Device drivers are supplied for the Windows XP Professional,
Windows XP Home, and Windows 2000 operating systems,
depending on the computer model. If you are using another operating
system, device drivers may be installed from media included with
the network operating system or are available from HP. If it ever
becomes necessary to reinstall the operating system, use the
Restore Plus! CD.
Complete instructions for installing the network device drivers are
available as ASCII text files, located in the C:\COMPAQ\NIC
directory. Use the instructions found in the subdirectory that relates to
the network environment.
