Driver Installation/Update
See readme.htm for installation instructions

Download the self-extracting archive and run it. When you run it, it will extract the files to a temporary directory, run the installation wizard, and remove the temporary files when the installation is complete. All language files are embedded in this archive. You do not need to download an extra language pack.

NOTE: A utility to create a driver diskette is no longer supplied or supported.

NOTE: Some instances, Intel PROSet for Window* Device Manager may be missing tabs after upgrading from an older version of PROSet.  It is recommended that you uninstall the older version of PROSet before performing an upgrade.

NOTE: If you are installing a driver in a computer with existing Intel adapters, be sure to update all adapters with the same new software. This will ensure that all adapters will function correctly. 

Troubleshooting
-In your computer’s BIOS settings, make sure "Plug and Play OS" is set to YES.

-Make sure the driver is loaded and the necessary protocols are installed and configured for your Intel network adapter.

-Check the Microsoft Windows* Event Viewer for error messages. 

-If you are attaching to a NetWare* network, check your frame type and verify that NetWare client or server software has been installed.

-Test the adapter with the Intel® PROSet for Microsoft Windows* Device Manager advanced configuration utility or with the DOS diagnostic provided in the Tools Directory contained in this archive.

-Check with your LAN administrator - you may need to install supplemental networking software.

Known Issues:
In some instances, Intel PROSet for Window* Device Manager may be missing tabs after upgrading from an older version of PROSet.  It is recommended that you uninstall the older version of PROSet before performing the upgrade.

Adapter teaming is allowed in Microsoft Windows XP for Intel server class adapters. However, after setting up teams in Microsoft Windows XP, you will need to reboot the computer for the changes to work properly. This will be corrected in Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2.

After you have set up your team, Intel® PROSet for Microsoft Windows* Device Manager allows you to check your switch for the correct configuration with the Check Switch Configuration button. Please allow a few minutes for the network to register the settings of your team before checking your switch configuration. Checking your switch configuration too quickly may result in a system lockup.

Please visit http://support.intel.com and check the FAQ’s for your adapter model.
