Windows ME Network Card Installation

When configuring your network,
you are used on Windows95 and 98
to be able to add a new adapter from
within the Network Properties:
When selecting to “Add” on a
Windows ME system, there is
no selection to add:
Adapter
To add a new adapter, you have
to use in the Control-Panel :
“Add New Hardware“


	The “Wizard” will start.
	You can follow the recommondation to let Windows search for new hardware. If you install a legacy ISA Network card, Windows ME may not find it and then you need to select it from the list
	I select as Hardware type: “Network Adapters”
	and select my specific network card (in this example: a 3COM 3C509B, configured as NON-Plug&Play)
	Windows ME is not able to detect the hardware settings for Input/Output Ports and Interrupt Request. In this example the values estimated by Windows were not correct. This required to define manually in the “Device Manager” (part of the Properties of “System”) for this network card: Tab: Resources the proper values.
