Since it has drivers that are compatible with your PCI Adatper (DE-530 Family and DFE-500TX Rev. A, Rev. B) using our drivers is not necessary for those adapters. If your PCI adapter is DFE-500TX-Rev. C or later, please use our driver. Requirements 컴컴컴컴컴컴  A PCI compatible computer  Microsoft's Windows 95  A PCI Family Series Adapter  A knowledge of basic Win 95 commands and editing text files Minimum Skill Level 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴�  A knowledge of basic Win 95 commands  A knowledge of Win 95 basic file structure  A knowledge of the network driver configuration being used  Please see Support Options if you are not comfortable with this skill level Compatibility List 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴  For a Motherboard compatibility list please consult your local D-Link Branch Office Getting Started 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� The Windows 95 installation disks or CD are need to complete this install. Method 1: Using D-Link driver 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴�  Start your Windows 95 PC normally without inserting the DFE-500TX/DE-530/DE-530+ adapter into your computer.  Open "My Computer" -> "Control Panel" -> "Networks" icons. If any of the following strings exist, "PCI Ethernet DECchip 21040 Based Adapter" "PCI Fast Ethernet DCEchip 21140 Based Adapter" "PCI Ethernet DECchip 21041 Based Adapter" You are currently using the Windows 95 built-in DECchip driver. Please REMOVE all of them before continue the following steps.  Select "Add adapter" -> "Have disk" items. Type the following (assume the driver is located at C:\WIN95) C:\WIN95 Select the correct driver according to your adapter type.  Windows 95 will copy the driver files from the DLKPCI driver disk. At this monent, Windows 95 will also copy the necessary files from the Windows 95 CD-ROM. Prepare your Windows 95 CD-ROM or floppies for this process.  After finishing file copy, Windows 95 will ask you to reboot the PC. Select YES.  Restart the computer. If you have not installed the adapter, turn off your computer and install the D-Link PCI Ethernet adapter.  During Windows 95 bootup, Windows 95 will automatically detect the D-Link PCI Ethernet hardware adapter. You don't have to do anything at this point.  After this automatic process, Windows 95 should proceed to complete boot up process and your D-Link PCI network adapter should work normally.  If the adapter does not work at this point, check the adapter under Device Manager: Open "My Computer" -> "Control Panel" -> "System" icons select "Device Manager" tab. Select "View devices by type", highlight the PCI network adapter, then select properties. If there are any problems, there will be a message under "Device status". Method 2: Using Windows 95 built-in DECchip Driver 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 The driver is in your Windows 95 CD-ROM. If the adapter is DFE-500TX-Rev.C please use D-Link Driver if possible.  Shut down the computer and plug in DFE-500TX/DE-530CT/DE-530CT-D adapter.  Power up the computer, Windows 95 will auto detect the adapter. At this time Windows 95 will pop up a message: "PCI Fast Ethernet DECchip 21140 Based Adapter" or "PCI Ethernet DECchip 21040 Based Adapter" or "PCI Ethernet DECchip 21041 Based Adapter" If this Message window does not show up, PLEASE use Method 1 listed before.  At this time, Windows 95 will copy files from the Windows 95 CD-ROM. Prepare your Windows 95 CD-ROM or floppies for this process.  If you didn't install a network adapter before, Windows 95 will pop up "Network" window. Input your Computer name and Workgroup name. (Make sure there is no duplicated Computer name in the network).  Restart your computer. Make sure that you check the PC BIOS for proper PCI slot configuration. Some PCI slots require that the interrupt number be assigned manully, otherwise it will not work properly.  After this process, Windows 95 should proceed to complete the boot up process. Your D-Link PCI network adapter should now be functioning properly. Trouble Shooting 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴  Everything is OK in Device Manager, but network adapter still does't function properly. Please make sure that your Computer name is different from others in the same network. You can change your Computer name in "My Computer" -> "Control Panel" -> "Network" -> "Identification" icons  Everything appears to be OK but network adapter still doesn't function properly. Please make sure that the adapter is properly connected to a network device (ex: HUB) and the "connection type" for this adapter is set to "AutoSense" or the correct media type. You can check it in "My Computer" -> "Control Panel" -> "Network" -> "Properties" icons Select "Advanced" item  The driver will auto sense the media type for the DE-530CT (TP or BNC) or line speed for the DFE-500TX (10Mbps or 100Mbps). You should connect the adapter to a hub or other network device. Otherwise, the auto detection will fail. You can use the keywords to specify the correct media type instead of using auto detection. Driver keywords 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴�  Open "My Computer" -> "Control Pannel" -> "Network" -> Double click "D-Link PCI .." or "PCI Ethernet DECchip .." -> Select "Advanced" item. Connection Type Specify the connection type for the adapter. Default: AutoSense Network Address You can set the Ethernet address for your adapter. It is not recommended to use this keyword. As you know two or more adapter in the same network with same Ethernet address will cause a little problem. When using this keyword you need to input exactly 6 bytes of Ethernet address using one of the following format: xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx OR xxxxxxxxxxxx Default: read address from adapter ROM.
