When you are installing Windows NT 4.0, your Cogent eMaster 110 Fast Ethernet
PCI adapter is detected as a DEC 21140 network card.

(a broadcast storm).

1. In Control Panel, double-click Network.
2. On the Adapters tab, click the DEC 21140 network card, and then click Remove.
3. Click OK, and then click Add.
4. Click Have Disk.
5. Enter the following path:
<drive>:\drvlib\netcard\x86\empci
-OR-
<drive>:\i386\drvlib.nic\empci
where <drive> is the drive letter for your CD-ROM drive.
6. Click OK.
