Microsoft Windows 95

This section explains how to install the driver to use your Asanté 10NIC-PCI
adapter with Windows 95.

D Note: If you are installing Windows 95 for the first time, the

Plug and Play technology of Windows 95 will automatically
detect the Asanté 10NIC-PCI adapter.

It will select, and ask to install, the generic “PCI Ethernet DEC-
chip 21041 Based Adapter” driver from the Windows 95 soft-
ware. Although this driver will work with the Asanté 10NIC-PCI
adapter, Asanté recommends you instead install the Asanté
driver.

The following instructions assume you have just installed the
10NIC-PCI adapter in a PC already equipped with Windows 95:

1

Start the computer.
During startup, Windows 95 will detect any new card in the
PCI bus and present a dialog box titled

New Hardware Found

. It

will state the 10NIC-PCI is a “PCI Ethernet DECchip 21041
Based Adapter”.
After a few seconds, you will then see a

Network

dialog box

stating that “You must provide computer and workgroup
names that will identify the computer on the network” (this
dialog will only appear if you have never previously con-
nected this computer to a network).

2

Click

OK to dismiss this dialog box.

A different dialog box, again called

Network

, appears with

three tabs labeled

Configuration

,

Identification

, and

Access

Control

.
