Installing a Wireless Card in Windows 2000

Follow these steps to install the wireless drivers:

1. Insert the wireless card into the computer as described in the user manual that came with your computer.

2. Windows 2000 should detect the card and begin the hardware installation. A message will appear on the taskbar that Windows 2000 has found new hardware and will install the drivers for your card.

3. Click Start, Settings, Network and Dial-up Connections, Local Area Connection X, where X is the largest number present. (If there are Local Area Connection 1, Local Area Connection 2 and Local Area Connection 3, choose connection 3. These connections are numbered in the order they were added to the system, so the highest number should be the one we just added.)
