ADSL via Network Card : Win9x Installation of Network card

If you are connecting to your ADSL modem via a Network card, then there a few items
to check / watch when installing this network card BEFORE installing the ADSL-software itself,
for Windows95/98/ME (there is a different setup for Windows2000) :

Standalone system (with a network card to connect to other systems via LAN):

	You will most probably have already a modem (to connect to the Internet), for which you should have already the following components defined in the Properties of "Network": - Client for Microsoft Networks - Dial-Up Adapter (for your modem) - TCP/IP protocol
	Install the Network card (an old ISA card on Win95/98 or ME or a PCI-card). Then check the new Network- configuration. For the new network card, which you will use to connect to the ADSL-modem, check the settings of the TCP/IP- protocol
	For the network card, connecting the system to the ADSL-modem, make sure to "obtain an IP-address automatically".

System already with a network card (connected to a LAN):

	You will most probably have already a modem (to connect to the Internet) in addition to your LAN configuration for which you should have already the following components defined in the Properties of "Network": - Client for Microsoft Networks - Dial-Up Adapter (for your modem) - a Network card for the LAN - TCP/IP protocol - File-and-Printer Sharing
	Install the Network card (an old ISA card on Win95/98 or ME or a PCI-card). Then check the new Network- configuration. Check the Properties of the TCP/IP protocol for the network card connecting the system to the LAN:
	Make sure that you use now "Specified IP addresses". if you have only Windows98, 98SE or WindowsME systems on your network, you may have used the Automatic IP-address Generation, but since your system has now 2 network cards installed, you can NOT use anymore the Automatic IP-address Generation, you MUST assign manually the IP-addresses on all systems on the LAN network !
	For the network card, connecting the system to the ADSL-modem: tab: IP-address, make sure to "obtain an IP-address automatically" in the Properties of the TCP/IP protocol.
	tab: Bindings un-check the binding for "File-and-Printer Sharing" ! You are connecting via this network card to the Internet and need to prevent access from the Internet to your disk !

You are now ready to install the ADSL connection software.
