  • This guide assumes that the ethernet card is already installed and detected by Windows 2000.
  • If your ethernet card is not currently detected by Windows 2000, run the Add New Hardware option in Control Panel, and be sure to answer Yes when asked whether Windows 2000 should search for new hardware. Then follow the instructions given. Sorry, we can't help with hardware installations.
