Windows 98/ME Network card setup

Note: Aviation laptop users should not follow these instructions as their laptops are specifically setup by the Aviation department.

If the network card is of a newer model, Windows 98/ME should automatically detect it and install the proper drivers, possible prompting for the driver disk included with the network card. If the network card is not automatically detected by Windows 98/ME, then the setup procedure provided in the network card's documentation must be followed.

Once the network card is properly installed, click on start->settings->control panel->network

Within the network settings, click on Client for Netware Networks then click remove, click on Client for Microsoft Networks then click remove, click on NetBEUI then click on remove, then click on IPX/SPX then click remove.

Click on add->protocol then click on Microsoft in the left window and TCP/IP in the right windows then click OK.

The only settings that should now be in the network settings window ware
<Network card driver>
TCP/IP protocol

Click on TCP/IP and click on properties. Verify the following information.

IP Address: Obtain an IP address automatically

WINS Configuration: Use DHCP for WINS Resolution

Gateway: All boxes should be empty

DNS Configuration: Disable DNS

The settings for Bindings, Advanced, and NetBIOS should be left at their default settings.
