Windows NT4 Network Setup

1. Install your network adapter.
2. Start Windows NT4. You shouldget a message telling you that Windows detected your adapter. It may ask you for a driver disk.
3. If you don't get the startup message, you'll have to add the adapter manually. Click on the "Start" button on the taskbar. Select "Settings", then "Control Panel". When the Control Panel appears, double-click on the "Add New Hardware" icon.
4. When the search is done click on the hardware found. Click on the "Details" button to display a list of what it found. If your network card appears on the list, highlight it and click the "Finish" button. YourWindows NT4 setup CD, or a driver disk for your card may be needed.
5. If the setup wizard did not find your card run it again, but this time do not let it search for new hardware. It will display a list of known hardware, including network adapters. If your card is not on this list, you must supply a driver disk and click on "Have Disk" to install it.
6. Restart your machine and go to the Control Panel again.

Configure your network software

1. Right click on the "Network Neighborhood" icon on the desktop, and select "Properties." Click on the "Protocols" tab. TCP/IP protocol should be installed and nothing more, unless there is something for the Dial-up Adapter.
   
   
   
   
2. There should also be something for your adapter under the adapter tab. Check and make sure your card is listed and installed correctly.
   
   
   
   
3. To change the name and workgroup of your computer, click on the "Identification" tab in this same window. This is where you give your machine a name that will identify it on the network.
4. For the computer name, pick something short and unique. It must not contain spaces or special characters. Choose wisely. If you pick a name that someone else is already using it will cause problems. Set the workgroup name to "RESNET".. Click OK when you're finished. Let it reboot when it's finished, if asked.
