Installing Network Drivers

✎
Network & Internet Communications Guide
The device drivers in the network software enable the computer to
communicate with the network. Because Compaq 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 2000, Windows XP
Professional, and Windows XP Home 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 Compaq 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.
