First-time Installation (Windows 2000)
For Windows 2000, you install the adapter and driver for the first time by 
inserting the card in the PC and using the Found New Hardware Wizard, as 
follows.
To install an adapter and driver in Windows 2000 for the first time:
1 Make sure the Sniffer Portable software is installed. If it is not installed, 
install it now.
2 Insert the supported adapter into an available slot in your computer 
following the manufacturer’s instructions.
3 Start the computer and log in as an Administrator.
Windows 2000 presents the Found New Hardware Wizard to help you 
install a new driver for the newly detected adapter.
NOTE: If Windows 2000’s plug-and-play feature automatically installs a 
driver for the adapter instead of starting the Found New Hardware 
Wizard, see 
Updating Existing Drivers (Windows 2000) on page 25 to 
update the existing driver.
4 Click Next in the Wizard window.
The Install Hardware Device Drivers window appears.
5 Select the Search for a suitable driver for my device option and click 
Next. 
The Locate Driver Files window appears. 
6 Check only the Specify a location option and click Next.
The Found New Hardware Wizard prompts you to supply a path to the 
device driver.
7 Click Browse and browse to the location of the Sniffer enhanced driver. 
See 
Table 3-4 for Sniffer enhanced driver locations.
8 Click OK.
Windows 2000 scans for the driver and presents the Driver Files 
Search Results window indicating that it has found the driver you 
specified in the previous step.
