Windows 2000
This section describes how to install the ORiNOCO Gold adapter and driver on 
a Windows 2000 system. The procedure is somewhat different whether you 
are updating an existing driver for the wireless adapter (either a previous 
version of the Sniffer driver or another vendor’s driver) or installing the adapter 
and driver for the first time. Use the appropriate procedure below.

First Time Installation
For Windows 2000, install the adapter for the first time by inserting the card in 
the PC and using the Found New Hardware Wizard.
To install the ORiNOCO Gold adapter and driver in Windows 2000 for 
the first time:
1 After installing the Sniffer software, log into Windows 2000 as an 
Administrator.
2 Insert the ORiNOCO Gold wireless adapter in an available Type II PC 
card slot on the target machine.
3 Windows 2000 presents a Wizard to help you install a new driver for the 
ORiNOCO Gold adapter. Click Next.
NOTE: If Windows 2000’s plug-and-play feature automatically installs a 
driver for the adapter instead of starting the Found New Hardware 
Wizard, turn to Updating Existing Drivers on page 20 to update the 
existing driver.
