NIC entry appears in the list of network adapters.
All protocols are re-bound to the virtual NIC. The
bindings to the physical NIC are still intact.
■ A 3Com DynamicAccess LAN agent entry appears as
a protocol.
■ A 3Com DynamicAccess LAN agent icon is installed in
the Windows Control Panel.
Configuring the DynamicAccess LAN Agent
Contact your system administrator about using
DynamicAccess technology at your site.
The instructions in this section are for configuring the
DynamicAccess LAN agent on a local client PC. You can
obtain the complete configuration instructions by accessing
the DynamicAccess Software User Guide on the EtherCD.
You must restart the PC to complete the installation.
The DynamicAccess LAN agent configuration instructions
