Manually configuring clients with Windows NT 4.0, Windows

Many of the settings require your original installation CD for
the operating system. Make sure that you are logged into the
client computer as a system administrator before you begin.
Determining if your system has a network interface card
(NIC)
If the client computer has no NIC, the first step is to install
one. You need to have ready both the driver disk that came
with the card and your Windows
®
operating system setup
disk.
Checking for an existing NIC
Here are some ways to check whether the client computer
already has a network adapter installed:
❖ Check the PCI or PCMCIA (for notebooks) sockets for a
network adapter. If you do not find a network adapter
card, you will be unable to configure the computer as a
client of the Magnia SG30 at this time. If you have not
overlooked an existing network adapter, you must
purchase one that is compatible with your computer.
❖ From the Start menu on the taskbar, select Settings,
Control Panel, and double-click the Network icon.
If the message “Windows NT Networking is not
installed” appears, you must install a network adapter.
If the Network Properties dialog box appears, click the
Adapters tab. If there are no adapters listed in the Network
Adapters box, you must install a network adapter.
