	      INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR WINDOWS 95 DRIVERS
                        HP DeskDirect LAN ADAPTERS

 Microsoft Windows 95 network adapter setup uses a file NETHPxxx.INF 
 (where xxx is equal to ISA, ESA, PCI for the appropriate LAN adapter
 bus type) to determine the driver information for the HP LAN adapter 
 installed in your computer.  Information from the file is used by the 
 network adapter setup utility to install the drivers into the Windows 
 registry and to create a PROTOCOL.INI file if needed.  
 
 Windows 95 may copy any of these three drivers from the HP Support Disk:
 
     \NT\HPDDND3.SYS     - 32-bit NDIS 3.00 driver
     \NDIS2\HPFEND.DOS   - 16-bit NDIS 2.01 driver
     \DOS\HPFEODIM.COM   - 16-bit DOS ODI driver

 The 32-bit NDIS 3.0 driver will be used by default and is recommended for
 highest performance.  If the NDIS 2.01 or DOS ODI drivers are needed (for
 compatibility with older software), use the Network Setup applet in Control
 Panel group to choose the desired driver.
 
 To install the HP LAN Adapter and its Windows 95 driver(s), follow the
 instructions below:
 
 NOTE: Throughout these instructions, the term 'HP LAN Card' will be used to
       refer to the HP DeskDirect LAN Adapter.
 
 1.  Install the HP LAN Card.
 
     Follow instructions in the 'Setting Up Your Card and LAN Connection'
     chapter of the Installation Guide.

     If you wish to use the adapter in full duplex mode, use HPVGSET to
     enable that option now or after completing the installation.
 

 2.  Install the Microsoft Windows 95.
 
     Locate the Microsoft Windows 95 Getting Started manual and the 
     Microsoft diskette labeled "Disk 1 - Setup".
 
     Insert the Microsoft diskette labeled "Disk 1 - Setup" into the floppy
     drive.  For example, if the diskette is in drive A, then execute these
     DOS commands:
 
         A:
         SETUP
 
     Follow the instructions on each window to install Windows 95.
     One of the last steps in the installation is selecting the network 
     adapter driver.
     
     NOTE: To add the network driver after Microsoft Windows 95 has been 
           installed, shutdown Windows 95 and turn power off the PC, 
           install the adapter, and turn the power back on.  As Windows 95 
           boots it will detect the presence of the new adapter and start 
           the installation process (the card will not be detected for
           the HP DeskDirect (J2573A) 10/100 ISA LAN Adapter since this
           card does not adhere to the Plug-N-Play standard, see 
           \TECHNOTE\WIN95TR.TXT on the supplied support disk for further 
           details).
     
           If you are upgrading to Windows 95 from another version of 
           Windows, always upgrade first then install the new hardware
           after the upgrade has completed.
     
 
 3.  Select the network adapter driver.
 
     When Windows 95 detects the new adapter it will present a dialog
     box titled "New Hardware Found" asking if you want the install the 
     new device (the card will not be detected for the HP DeskDirect 
     (J2573A) 10/100 ISA LAN Adapter since this card does not adhere to 
     the Plug-N-Play standard, see \TECHNOTE\WIN95TR.TXT on the supplied
     support disk for further details).
 
     Check the "Driver from disk provided by hardware manufacturer" box 
     and select OK.
 
     When the "Install From Disk" window appears, insert the HP Support Disk
     into floppy drive and enter the path name at the prompt. For example,
     if the diskette is in floppy drive A, then enter:
 
         A:\

     Follow the prompts to alternatively insert Windows 95 diskettes or CDROM
     and the HP Support Disk.  Make sure to enter the the proper path name 
     whenever swapping to another diskette.
 
 
 4.  Finish installation of Windows 95.
 
     At this point, all the steps required for the installation of network 
     driver are done.  Select the "Continue" button to proceed with the
     Windows 95 Setup program until the complete setup procedure is finished.
 
     The installation and/or changes of network configuration will not take 
     effect until the computer is rebooted.
 
     If you wish to switch from the Bus Master driver mode to the I/O or
     Memory Mapped mode (or vice versa) and your HP LAN Card supports
     Bus Master Mode (please see your HP LAN Card product manual to verify
     that your model supports Bus Master mode) see the note below for the 
     required procedure.
 
 
 
 Note on Advanced Parameters
 ===========================
 
 Refer to the PROTOCOL.TXT file in the \NDIS2 subdirectory on the HP Support
 disk for the definition of each advanced (i.e. PROTOCOL.INI) parameter for
 the NDIS 2.01 driver.
 
 
 Note on OEM Information Files
 =============================
 
 When Windows 95 installs a driver from a vendor diskette, it also stores a 
 copy of the vendor's NETHPxxx.INF file in the WINDOWS\INF directory. The 
 WINDOWS/INF directory is often marked hidden so some utilities such as the 
 Windows Explorer may not show this directory unless they are enabled to 
 display hidden files.
 
 When Windows 95 network adapter setup utility is run from the Control Panel
 network icon, it scans all the *.INF files for any network drivers.  This
 scan can become confused if an old *.INF file containing dated information
 is used.
 
 To correct this situation and allow proper installation of the drivers
 from the HP Support Disk, copy the NETHPxxx.INF file from the HP Support 
 Disk into the WINDOWS\INF directory. The NETHPxxx.INF is in the root 
 directory of the HP Support Disk (see \TECHNOTE\WIN95TR.TXT on the supplied
 support disk for further details). 


 Note on reinstalling the NDIS3 driver. 
 ==========================================================================

 If the networking of your Windows 95 system is not coming up properly
 and you want to re-install the HP LAN Driver, please see \TECHNOTE\WIN95TR.TXT
 on the supplied support disk for further details).
