ASUS P2B-L/P2B-S/P2B-LS User’s Manual
Windows 95
Automatic Configuration
Some computers automatically detect and configure adapters or interfaces while boot-
ing. The network interface’s IRQ level and I/O address of this motherbaord are auto-
matically set by the BIOS each time you start your computer.
Start your computer to automatically configure the network interface or adapter. Con-
figuration is complete when Windows 95 starts. If your computer displays an error
while booting, it may require additional steps to configure.
Install Network Drivers from Diskette
Have your Windows 95 installation CD-ROM or disks available, as Windows 95 prompts
for them when you install the new network interface or adapter.
1.
After you have set up your motherboard for network use, start Windows 95. The
New Hardware Found dialog box appears. If this box does not appear and Win-
dows 95 starts normally, you may need to manually add the network interface or
adapter.
2.
Click “Driver from disk provided by hardware manufacturer,” then click OK. The
Install From Disk dialog box appears.
3.
Insert the ASUS Configuration and Drivers disk.
4.
Specify A:\ (or B:\) as the path, then click OK.
5.
Follow prompts for any Windows 95 installation disks and restart when prompted.
(If you installed from CD-ROM, the installation files are typically located at
D:\Win95, where D is your CD-ROM drive.)
After restarting Windows 95, you should be able to connect to your network by double-
clicking the Network Neighboorhood.
Troubleshooting
If you can’t connect to a server or if Windows 95 reports an error after you double-click
Network Neighborhood, try the suggestions here first, then the Troubleshooting section
if necessary.
•
Make sure you’re using the drivers that are on the drivers diskette that ships with
this network interface or adapter.
•
Make sure the driver is loaded and the protocols are bound. Check Device Proper-
ties list for trouble indicators (an X or ! symbol).
•
Check with your LAN administrator — you may need to install supplemental net-
working software.
