The steps given are for users of Windows 95. However, because all versions of Windows 95 might not respond the same, windows that are different from those shown in these instructions might open but prompt you for the same information, or windows might open in a different order than shown in these instructions. If you are using Windows 98, read these instructions thoroughly for an overview of the steps that are necessary for the installation of the software driver. Follow the instructions given by the Windows 98 Installation Wizard to install the driver. Note: You must install the network card (instructions on other side of this guide) before installing the network driver. You need to have the Windows CD-ROM and the FA310TX Drivers and Diagnostics Disk ready to use in the installation process.

When the “Network” window opens, it prompts you to “... provide computer and workgroup names....” Click on “OK.” The second “Network” window opens and prompts you for the names. Enter a name (a different one- word name for each computer) in the “Computer name” entry field; enter a workgroup name (the name of your entire network) in the “Workgroup” entry field. Click on “OK” or “Close.” Note: If the “Insert Disk” window opens and the “Please insert the disk labeled Windows...” message appears at any time during the installation process, insert the Windows CD-ROM in Drive D (the CD-ROM drive) and click on “OK.” Then follow the next step in the instructions. 1.
