Step 1: about network adapter Installation

Step 1: about network adapter installation and how to set the switch. It is very complicated. Today we will mainly introduce network adapter installation problems. The subsequent problems need to be based on today's knowledge.

Network Adapter Installation

The physical installation process of the network adapter is no different from that of other expansion cards. Here we will not detail how to set the vswitch. We will focus on how to install the network adapter in Windows 98. In fact, the Network Adapter driver is installed to drive the network adapter.

After the network card is plugged in, the prompt box "find new hardware" Appears normally when you reboot Windows 98. The system will prompt you to insert the Windows 98 disc. Follow the prompts to insert the disc. The system will automatically complete the installation. After the installation is complete, restart the computer and the NIC will be installed.

In another case, the network card cannot be recognized by the system, and no new hardware is found when the system restarts. You can manually add the NIC Driver. Click "Start> set> Control Panel> Add new hardware". The "Add new hardware wizard" dialog box appears. Click "Next, the dialog box prompts "do I need to search for new hardware in Windows? ", In this case, select the second item "no, you want to select hardware from the list ".

Click "Next" and select "network adapter" in the "Hardware type" list under "select the hardware type to be installed ". Put the NIC Driver floppy disk provided by the merchant into drive A, click "Next", and select "Install from disk" in the following dialog box ".

The system automatically reads the hardware information on the driver disk and installs the software as prompted. When you know how to set up a vswitch, the system may prompt you to insert a Windows 98 disc. Follow the prompts to insert it. After you restart the computer, the installation is complete.

Is it okay if the NIC is installed? Sometimes, on the surface, the NIC is installed, and the prompt box "add hardware wizard" or "find new hardware" is no longer displayed after Windows is restarted, as a matter of fact, it may conflict with other hardware, resulting in failure to work normally. Next we will check whether the NIC works normally. (In this topic, the D-LinkDFE-530 Nic as an example, the settings of other NICs are basically the same .)

Open Control Panel, double-click System icon, and the System Properties window appears. Switch to the Device Manager tab. Double-click Network Adapter, which has a "Legend/D-LinkDFE-530TXPCIFastEthernetAdapter", where "D-LinkDFE-530TX" is the NIC type, different NICS will display different identifiers.

Select Legend/D-LinkDFE-530TXPCIFastEthernetAdapter and click Properties to see the Legend/D-LinkDFE-530TXPCIFastEthernetAdapter Properties dialog box. In the "device status" drivers group, if "this device is working properly" is displayed, it indicates that the NIC driver has been correctly installed.

How do I set a vswitch? Finally, select the resources tab in the Legend/D-LinkDFE-530TXPCIFastEthernetAdapter Properties dialog box, if "no conflict" is displayed in the "List of conflicting devices" option group, you can determine that the system resources used by the NIC do not conflict with other devices.
