Automatic configuration

PCI computers automatically detect and configure PCI-compliant
adapters while booting. The PRO/100 TX PCI adapter IRQ level and
I/O address are automatically set each time you start your computer.
Start your computer to automatically configure the adapter.
Configuration is complete when Windows NT starts or the DOS
prompt appears.
If your computer displays an error while booting, it may require
additional steps to configure. See the PCI Installation Tips section for
more information if you get an error.

you need to install the Intel drivers and test the adapter.
1. Double-click the Network icon in the Control Panel.
2. Click Add Adapter.

end of the list and select
<Other> Requires disk from manufacturer
4. Insert the Intel Configuration and Drivers disk in a floppy drive
and click OK. Drivers and the Intel PROSet utility are installed
and PROSet starts.
PROSet is an enhanced utility that you can use to easily
configure and test your adapter in Windows NT. PROSet
automatically scans computer resources and determines what
resources were assigned to the adapter.
