Checking Your Network Protocols (Windows 9x)

Your computer must have either TCP/IP or NetBEUI protocols installed. All versions of
Windows after Windows 95 already have TCP/IP installed by default. You must verify that
the desired protocols are available, as follows:

1

From your computer, click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network. You should
see a window similar to the following:

– The top line in the list (NetBEUI -> PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter) indicates that the

NetBEUI protocol is installed on this computer. Your computer will show the name of
your Network card rather than "PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter".

– The highlighted line (TCP/IP -> PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter) indicates that TCP/IP is

installed. Your computer will show the name of your Network card rather than "PCI
Fast Ethernet Adapter".

2

If neither protocol is present:

– Install the NetBEUI protocol by selecting Add > Protocol > Microsoft > NetBEUI >

OK

. You may be prompted for your Windows CD-ROM.

– If required, you can also install TCP/IP. However, depending on your LAN

environment, TCP/IP may require further configuration.

3

If either protocol is already installed, proceed with installation.
