NOTES: To use the Dell Latitude L400 ResourceCD with Windows NT, you must have Internet Explorer 4.x installed on your computer.
Because Windows NT is shipped with Internet Explorer 3.x installed, you must install IE4.x before attempting to install drivers from the
ResourceCD. An Internet Explorer 4.0 installation CD is shipped with your system.

The following procedure assumes that you are configuring your system to access a network through the computer's built-in NIC using
TCP/IP protocol. For other network configurations, refer to your Windows NT documentation.
