Installing Host Computer Networking Software 2-43.
To establish Ethernet communication in your host computer, you must do the
following:
• Install a driver for the adapter
• Install a TCP/IP protocol stack and Windows Socket (Winsock) software
• Set host computer networking parameters
This section discusses installing the adapter driver and the TCP/IP protocol stack
and Winsock software. You should install the networking software that is most
appropriate for your operating system.
Windows 95 and Windows NT provide drivers for many Ethernet adapters, in
addition to the protocol and Winsock software. Users of Windows for
Workgroups can get protocol and Winsock software from Microsoft.
For Windows 3.1, use the adapter driver supplied with your adapter. You may also
need to install Trumpet or Newt networking software. The NetDAQ Logger
installation program can automatically install Trumpet networking software and
your adapter driver if you plan to use NetDAQ on an isolated network and your
host computer does not already have a TCP/IP stack.
If you are installing NetDAQ Logger for general network operation on a Windows
3.1 host computer, and your computer does not already have an NDIS or ODI
adapter driver and TCP/IP and Winsock software, install Newt networking
software. See Options and Accessories for ordering information and Appendix I
for installation information.
If you plan to install Trumpet networking software, or if your computer is already
operating on a network (using the TCP/IP protocol), skip this section. To install
Newt networking software (and an appropriate adapter driver) on Windows 3.1,
skip this section and see Appendix I.
Complete the following procedure to load the Ethernet adapter driver and the
TCP/IP protocol stack and Winsock software on Windows 95. Windows NT
installation is similar. The operating system may have already detected the
Ethernet adapter and added it. If so, you can skip steps 2 and 3.
1. Open the Control Panel | Network utility via Start | Settings or My Computer.
2. Click Add...; select Adapter, then click Add....
3. Choose the manufacturer and network adapter. Click OK. The support for the
adapter gets installed.
4. Click Add..., select Protocol then click Add... Select Microsoft TCP/IP. Click
OK. The protocol support gets installed.
