Exercise 10.1: Network Adapter Resource Settings
Objective: Become familiar with the process of configuring network adapter resource settings in Windows NT

Estimated time: 10 minutes

Earlier in this chapter, you learned how to install a network adapter card driver by using the Windows NT Network application. You also can use the Network application to check or change the resource settings for an adapter that is already installed.
1.Click the Start button and choose Settings/Control Panel. Double-click the Windows NT Control Panel Network application.
2.In the Network application, click the Adapters tab (refer to Figure 10.2).
3.Select the network adapter that is currently installed on your system and click the Properties button.
4.The Network Card Setup dialog box then appears on your screen (see Figure 10.6).
5.In the Network Card Setup dialog box, you can change the resource settings as required. You might want to use the Windows NT Diagnostics application to look for available settings (see Exercise 10.2). Don’t change the settings unless you’re experiencing problems, though, because you could introduce a hardware conflict with another device.
  1. Click Cancel to leave the Network Card Setup dialog box and click Cancel again to leave the Network application.
