PC running Windows NT versions 4.0 or 3.51.
Do not use the AutoLink software to install the driver if you
are running Windows NT.

need the following information from your MIS department:
■ Whether you are on a LAN or are connecting to one
through a modem
■ Protocol used in the Microsoft Windows Network
(typically TCP/IP or NetBEUI)
■ Name of the Windows NT server domain or workgroup
you belong to
■ IP address if you are not using DHCP
