Windows NT 4.0 Setup

Before you begin the installation, you should have your
original Windows NT CD-ROM handy. NT may ask for
it in order to install special files onto your computer
during the network driver setup. PCMCIA Services in
Windows NT 4.0 have to be enabled prior to installing
the card (see appendix page ??). Windows NT 4.0 has
limited support for standard PCMCIA controllers (PCIC
or compatable). If you have a CardBus controller in
your laptop, check with the manufacturer of the laptop
to see if you can set your slots to emulate PCIC or com-
patable or if you require a 3rd party software. Windows
NT 4.0 doesn't have any support for CardBus PCMCIA
controllers and can not operate the card properly. Also,
PCMCIA services in NT do not allow for hot swapping.
The card has to be in the laptop before powering the
laptop on. To remove the card, the PC has to be powered
off.
To install the card in an NT 4.0 workstation
Shut down your computer. Insert the EtherFast 10/100 +
56K Modem PC Card into either of your computer's
card slot if you haven't already. Start up your computer.
If asked to log in, do so.
Click on Start, Settings, Control Panel. Double-click
on the Network icon. If you have not already installed
the networking components for NT, you will see a mes-
sage that looks like this:
