Windows NT Installation

Card and Socket Services Software

Some Windows NT 4.0 installations include third-party Card and Socket Services (CSS) software. PRO/100 S Mobile adapters may not operate correctly with CSS products (such as CardWare or CardWizard. See the Mobile Release Notes file for details.) If you have a new laptop computer with CSS, try installing the Mobile adapter with CSS. If this does not work, you may need to remove CSS software prior to installing the PRO/100 S Mobile adapter. Use the Add/Remove Software icon in Control Panel to properly remove the CSS software. Then, install the driver by performing the following procedure.

Software Driver Installation

NOTE:  If you have not previously installed NT Networking Services, you must do so before installing software drivers. See Installing Windows NT Networking.

The LAN driver (NDIS4) installs first, followed by the modem driver if you have the Combo adapter.

1. Before powering up your mobile computer, insert the PRO/100 S Mobile adapter into the CardBus slot, as shown in Hardware Installation.

2. With the adapter in the CardBus slot, power up the computer, click Start, click Settings, and select Control Panel.
   Control Panel opens.

3. Double-click the Network icon.
   The Network Settings window opens.

4. Click the Adapters tab.
   The Network Adapters window opens.

5. Click Add.
   The Select Network Adapter window opens.

6. Click Have Disk, insert the Intel CD, and specify the correct path for the CD. Click OK to continue.
   The CardBus Resources window opens, displaying settings for memory and interrupt values (the default interrupt is 10). If you are installing the Combo adapter, a Modem tab also appears.

7. Select values for each setting. A single interrupt is shared for the LAN and modem functions. (If your computer has card and socket services installed, the CardBus Resources window does not appear. Therefore, proceed to step 9.)

NOTE:  In most circumstances, the default settings will properly operate the adapter. However, some computers may require changes to the defaults. Usually, only the IRQ setting needs adjustment. See step 11 to verify settings.

8. Click OK. The Network Settings window redisplays.

9. Click Close. Complete any relevant dialog boxes that appear such as TCP/IP settings. Contact your Network Administrator for help if necessary. 

10. When the Network Settings Change window opens, click Yes to restart the computer.

11. To check the resources chosen in step 7, start PROSet II by double-clicking the Intel PROSet II icon in Control Panel. If there are no conflicts with the LAN settings, you will see the General tab with adapter status information. If there is a resource conflict with another device, PROSet II displays a Troubleshooting tab with instructions. Follow these instructions to choose different resources. Resources can be changed by clicking the Advanced tab and choosing an interrupt and/or memory value. Close the PROSet II utility and restart when prompted.

Modem Setup (Combo Adapters Only)

1. After the computer has restarted, check the NT Event Log for any possible Modem resource issues from step 7 above. You may need to change resources if the log indicates a Modem problem. See step 11 above for changing resources. If no problems are noted, select Modems from Control Panel.

2. At the Install New Modem screen, make sure that the Don't detect my modem; I will select it from a list check box is NOT checked. Click Next. NT will query the COM ports looking for the Intel modem. Once the Intel modem is found, click Next. If a Standard Modem is found, click Change. On the next screen, click Have disk. Type the path to your CD-ROM drive and click OK.

3. At the Install New Modem screen, click OK. After confirming that Intel(R) PRO/100 Mobile adapter appears in the dialog box, click Next. Then, click Finish to complete the installation.

4. At the Modems Properties screen click Dialing Properties to set up dialing properties (not necessary if a modem has been previously installed). If necessary, change the maximum speed to 115,200. Click Close when done.

If you are not in the U.S. or Canada, run the Country Identifier utility to specify your location. The utility is located in the Intel Mobile program group.

For a complete list and description of modem commands, view the Modem.hlp file in the CARDBUS directory on the Intel CD. This is a standard Windows help file. To view it, double-click the file in the Windows Explorer or File Manager.

Installing Windows NT Networking

If your laptop running NT does not have Networking installed, use the following procedure to install Networking and the Intel adapter. With power off, insert the adapter into a CardBus slot. Turn on the power and follow this procedure:

1. Insert the Intel CD and then double-click the Network Neighborhood icon.

2. Select Yes at Windows NT Networking is not installed. Do you want to install it now?

3. At the next screen, select the appropriate box to indicate whether you are connecting to the network through the modem or a LAN adapter, and then click Next.

4. At the Network Setup Wizard screen, click Select from list...

5. At the Select Network Adapter screen, click Have Disk...

6. At the Inset Disk screen, type the driver letter for the CD-ROM in the box and click OK.

7. At the Select OEM Option screen, highlight Intel® PRO Adapter and click OK.
   The Network Setup Wizard screen comes up again.

8. Make sure the Intel PRO Adapter is highlighted and select Next.
   The next screen requires you to select the networking protocols your networking environment is using.

9. Select the appropriate box and click Next. If you don't know what Protocol your networking system is using, contact your Network Administrator.
   The next screen shows you the services that will be installed by the system.

10. If you need a service that is not listed, click Select from list... to add the service you need. If you are unsure of what services you need, contact your Network Administrator.

11. Click Next on the next screen to install the Networking system.
    The Windows NT Setup screen appears, asking you for the location of the NT files.

12. Indicate the location of the NT files, either on your NT CD or at the I386 directory, usually on the root drive of your system.
    The CardBus Resources screen appears next.

13. For most installations the default values on this screen will work. Check the Mobile.txt file on your Intel CD to see if your computer requires different settings. If you are installing a LAN / Modem combination card, the resource button for the Modem will also be at this screen. Again, most systems will work fine with the default resources. When your resources have been selected, click OK to continue.
    
    If you have selected TCP/IP as one of the protocols, a TCP/IP Setup screen appears

14. If you plan to use DHCP, select Yes to continue. If you do not know whether or not you use DHCP, ask your Network Administrator.

15. If you select Yes, continue here. If you selected No go to step 21

16. At the next screen, set up the order that your system locates information on the network; you can also disable bindings if you want. When this is done, select "Next"

17. At the next screen, select Next to complete the Networking installation on your system.
    Your system will be busy for a couple of minutes installing Networking.

18. At the next screen,  enter the name of your system and the name of the workgroup or domain of your network. If you don't know this information, ask your Network Administrator. Click Next to continue.

19. At the next screen, click Finish to complete the LAN portion of the installation.

20. You will need to restart your computer to finish the installation.

21. If you said No in step 15, the Microsoft TCP/IP Properties screen appears. Here you set up your IP address information. If you do not know this information, see your Network administrator. Then, finish the installation from step 16.
