  BEFORE YOU BEGIN
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
  If your computer does NOT have a plug-and-play motherboard, 
  the following notes apply to you:

  1.  Before attempting to install the Ether16 LAN Card's network
      software drivers, you MUST configure the card's internal
      settings with the SETUP program included on Ether16 disk 1
      under the UTILITY directory.  Use the program to set the
      card's interrupt (IRQ) and I/O settings.  For directions
      on using SETUP, see your Ether16 user guide.
  
  2.  Most network software packages like Windows 95, Windows NT,
      Novell NetWare, etc., include a "generic" network driver
      that will work with a wide range of network cards.  This
      generic driver is called a "Novell NE2000" compatible driver,
      and it is fully supported by the Ether16 card.  If your 
      network software package asks you to choose the name of
      the network card you're installing from a list of available
      adapters, and you find "NE2000" or "Novell NE2000" listed,
      you don't need to follow the directions below---simply choose
      to install the NE2000 driver and the Ether16 Card will be
      ready for use.  THE ETHER16 IS ONLY NE2000 COMPATIBLE
      WHEN THE CARD'S PLUG-AND-PLAY MODE IS TURNED OFF.  If 
      your PC has a plug-and-play motherboard, and you wish to 
      use the generic NE2000 driver, you must run the Ether16 
      SETUP program and turn the card's plug-and-play mode off.

  
  Setup
  -------------------------------------------------------------------

       Execute SETUP.EXE from Microsoft Network Client for DOS release
        diskette.  Follow the directions on your screen.

       Select "Network adapter not shown on list below ...".

       When asked for the location of the OEM driver
        to use, type a:\ndis\dos and press Enter.

       Select "Linksys Ether16 Ethernet adapter".

       Select "Change Network Configuration", "Add Protocol" as you want.

       Follow  screen  instructions  to  complete  the  process. Simply
        pressing <Enter> for each screen display will select the default
        options. Press <Enter> until you reach the display prompting you
        to reboot your system.
