Installing Multiple NICs
If you are installing multiple EtherLink PCI NICs in a
computer, follow the instructions in Installing Multiple NICs
on page 52.
Upgrading Windows 95 to Windows 98
If you are upgrading a computer from Windows 95 to
Windows 98, and the computer already has an EtherLink
PCI NIC installed, follow the instructions in the WIN98.TXT
file located in the HELP directory on the EtherCD.
Updating the Network Driver and NIC Software
If you already have an EtherLink PCI NIC installed and want
to update the network driver, follow the instructions in
Updating the Network Driver and NIC Software on
page 51.
Installing From Diskette
If your computer does not have a CD-ROM drive, use a PC
that has a CD-ROM drive and create installation diskettes
from the EtherCD.
You can install the NIC base network driver on any
Windows PC without having to also install a specific
Microsoft Service Pack; however, 3Com recommends that
you always try to use the most recent Service Pack
available from Microsoft technical support
(www.microsoft.com).
Running 3Com DynamicAccess software on NetWare 4.0
requires Service Pack 6 or greater from Microsoft.
