Resolving The Problem

PROSet 2 in version 5.1 and version 3.0 software supports Microsoft Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 9x.

In general, the key functions and features on PROSet 2 are:

  • The GUI is set up with folders
  • The General folder shows adapter hardware data and network link status
  • Adapter Teaming or VLAN can be set by right click on one of the NICs
  • Users can select to show or hide the PROSet II display icon
  • The Advanced folder allows checking or setting advanced parameters
  • The Network Driver folder has both driver and driver statistics data
  • The Diagnostics folder allows end user to run adapter Windows diagnostics
  • The Boot Agent folder shows Boot ROM and Boot settings data

The installation of PROSet 2 is as followed:

Microsoft Windows NT 4.0

  • PROSet 2 is installed automatically with drivers install

Microsoft Windows 9x, Windows 2000, or Windows XP

  • PROSet 2 is not installed with drivers install
  • Use version 5.1 or version 3.0 software releases
  • To install PROSet 2 with Microsoft Windows 9x, Windows 2000, or Windows XP, proceed as follows:
    • Go to \Windows\PROSet2 on the sw CD and run Setup.exe
    • Or install PROSet 2 from the CD Autorun "Install Advanced Features" option

Setup.exe will install both the PROSet 2 GUI and Display Icon and the latest Network Management Software (NMS) service. The NMS software tracks and updates the adapter hardware/software/network status to PROSet 2 interface for all monitoring and management purposes.
