Requirements
Installing a
Network Card
Before connecting the cable modem to your PC, make sure your system is equipped with a
LAN controller and supports the TCP/IP protocol.
If your system does not have an embedded LAN controller, you must install a network
interface card as instructed below (assuming that you are using an Ethernet card under the
operating system of Windows 98):
1. Install the PCI-L101 card on your
motherboard.
2. Power up your PC and follow the Add
New Hardware Wizard’s instructions to
install the driver . When asked to restart
your computer at the end of the installation, click Yes.
3. After restarting the system, right-click
My Computer on the desktop, select
Properties, click the Device Manager
tab, and then double-click Network
adapters to confirm that the Ethernet
driver is properly installed.
