how can i install an LAN card on windows NT 4? there is not device adding feature, so i went to browse my network, and it asked me for an LAN card, but i do not know what file is needed, there are several .INF files in the floppy disk, i do not know wich one choose. Windows NT is asking me for an OEMSETUP.INF,( there's that file in the floppy disk), but when i put the adress it says that "Cannot find OEMSETUP.INF . what do i do?

Which manufacturer and model is your NIC? You may not have the correct Drivers

Killer, Very common problem. When it asks you for the .inf file, you have to type in the location for your floppy drive and any subfolder it might be in. ie, a:\setup\drivers or a:\

Which NIC u have purchased? it shudnt be hard anyway to install a NIC.Insert the NIC into the PCI slot and then Go to My computer-properties-device_manager- there u'll see some kinda questions marked hardware listed, u'll see that something written Network Adapter. Right click on that and locate the software of the NIC. DONE !!!!

Hello, I am also having difficulty getting my NIC working with my NT 4.0 Server installation. I have a 3com Fast EtherLink XL 10/100Mb TX (3C905B-TX) inside a HP Vectra VL 6. I have tried installing every driver version 3Com has listed for the card- (even the Japanese version!) but still cannot get the thing to work. I know the NIC is properly seated and functioning as I have a Win2000 Pro OS installed on the same computer and it works fine in that OS. I've installed NetBEUI, NWLink,TCP/IP protocols (connect to some old windows OS) which seem to be functioning with loopback tests. IPconfig reveals no configuration-tried both DHCP and manual assigning and 3com's card detection utility claims I have no 3Com cards installed. This leads me to believe that perhaps the drivers are assigning resources that conflicting with something else? If so, how do I see what resources the card has been assigned? (I am new to the Nt4 OS) If not...what am I missing? Any help is appreciated, thank you. Dan
