Installing networking
To install networking, open the Network control panel.
NT will ask you if you want to install networking now.
Then answer the following questions:
- What kind of networking
- Choose both "Wired to the network" and "Remote access
to the network"
- Network adapter
- Click on "Select from list" and then click on the "Have Disk"
button. Insert the Etherjet driver disk and click OK.
- Networking protocols
- Choose both TCP/IP and NetBEUI (I think NetBEUI is needed
for NT Windows networking).
- Networking services
- Use the defaults.
- Location of Windows NT files
- Insert the Windows NT CD, close the stupid installation
window that comes up, and then enter:
d:\i386
(Assuming that the CD-ROM drive is drive D.)
- Etherjet PC Card setup
- In the Etherjet dialog, enter the following:
I/O Port Address
| 0x300
|
Interrupt Number
| 9
|
Duplex Option
| Half duplex
|
NetAddr
| Leave blank
|
- Do you wish to use DHCP?
- Yes.
- Do you want the RAS setup to invoke the modem installer?
- No. Then click Cancel on the Add RAS Devices box and Yes
to Exit Setup?
- Network bindings
- Use the defaults.
- Computer name and workgroup
- BEAN and RESEARCH. (Note that "Workgroup" is selected,
not "Domain.")
Click No on the offer to restart the computer, and go to
the next page.

big deal, but it took me two days and ten minutes
to find this page -- two days to find out it existed, then
ten minutes to actually find it...)
