Introduction  
Connect the Network Cables  
NETGEARs Model FA411 PCMCIA Mobile Adapter makes it easy to accelerate your notebook PC to  
Fast Ethernet speeds. It is 16-bit PCMCIA compatible and, with its auto-sensing technology and  
Ethernet/Fast Ethernet compatibility, ideal for migrating a 16-bit PC card notebook computer from  
10 Mbps to 100 Mbps networks.  
Using a UTP cable, connect any port on a hub or switch to the port on the network card.  
Note: One of the ports on NETGEAR hubs is switchable between Normal (MDI-X) and Uplink  
(MDI) with a Normal/Uplink push button. If you are using this switchable port on a NETGEAR hub  
to connect to a PC or the network card, make sure the Normal/Uplink push button is set  
to Normal.

Install the Network Driver  
This section explains how to install the Windows 98 Network Driver. Some versions of Windows 98 may  
respond with different dialog boxes, or the dialog boxes may open in a different sequence than those  
shown in this guide, but should prompt you for the same information.

Note: You must install the network card before installing the network driver.  
Before you proceed with the installation steps, decide on a name for your network and for each PC. The  
whole network must have the same workgroup name while each PC must have a unique name. These  
names can be entered by going to Start>Settings>Control Panel>Network and clicking on the  
Identification tab. You also need to have the Windows 98 CD-ROM and the FA411 Drivers and  
Diagnostics CD-ROM ready to use in the installation process.  
As a last step, be sure to register your network card at http://www.netgear.com.  
Plan Your Time

message appears at any time during the installation process, insert the Windows 98 CD-ROM in

OK.” Then follow the next step in the instructions.
