adapter in your computer. The EtherFast network adapter can cause a
resource conflict with Windows 98 PCI Steering.

adapter so that it no longer conflicts with Windows 98 PCI Steering. To
modify the resources of your EtherFast network adapter, consult the
adapter's documentation or contact Linksys for more information.
To work around this issue, disable the EtherFast network adapter. To do
so, use the following steps:
- Restart your computer. Press and hold down the CTRL key until you see
the Windows 98 Startup menu.
- Choose Safe Mode from the Startup menu.
- Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
- Double-click System.
- Click the Device Manager tab, and then double-click the Network
Adapters branch to expand it.
- Right-click the EtherFast adapter, and then click Properties.
- On the General tab, click the Disable In This Hardware Profile check
box to select it.
- Click OK, and then click Close.
- Restart your computer.

network programs, files, or printers.
