Appendix C: Starting Over in
Windows 98
If you experience installation difficulties, you may need to re-install all of the
Windows networking components from scratch. The following instructions
explain how to give your PC a blank slate so that you can retry the Adapter's
driver installation.
1. Start up Windows. Click Start, and select Settings. Open the Control
Panel.
2. Double-click the Network icon. When the Network screen appears, click
the Configuration tab.
3. If the Configuration box has a component called Dial-Up Adapter, go to
step 5. If it doesn't, go to step 4.
4. Remove any instance of the name Linksys in the box. This includes
IPX/SPX...Linksys, NetBEUI...Linksys, and TCP/IP...Linksys. Also remove
Client for Microsoft Networks, Client for NetWare Networks, and File and
printer sharing for Microsoft Networks.
In some cases, removing one of these components may in turn automatically
remove other components as well. If this happens, go to step 6.
5. For PCs with dial-up networking and/or an AOL adapter, remove any
instance of the name Linksys, all IPX/SPX protocols, all NetBEUI, all
clients, and File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks. Do NOT
remove Dial-Up Adapter, AOL Adapter, TCP/IP-Compatible Protocol-AOL
Adapter, or TCP/IP-Compatible Protocol-Dial-Up Adapter.
6. When you have completed the removal of the aforementioned components,
click the O K button. When you are asked to restart the computer, click the
No button.
Note: Linksys does not provide technical support for network
configuration or troubleshooting.
