The DFW-500 downloads drivers from the Internet. The method it takes varies according to the type of Internet connection you have. Before installing the DFW-500, verify that you can connect to the Internet either through a dial-up modem connection or through a Cable modem or DSL connection.

Power the computer off, install the DFW-500 and power the computer back on. The DFW-500 card automatically downloads drivers from the Internet. If you are using a dial-up connection the DFW-500 dials an 800 number just like you would if you were making a phone call. Then it downloads the drivers. The screen may appear to be frozen for several minutes. This is normal. If you have a DSL modem or a cable modem, the DFW-500 card downloads the drivers directly from Microsoft.

A second alternative is to download the drivers directly from D-Link. Go to ftp://ftp.dlink.com/NIC/dfw500/Driver/ and download a fresh driver set.

A third alternative is to download the drivers directly from the Windows 98 SE CD. If you have Windows 98 SE, point the wizard to the Windows 98 SE CD instead.
