Put the NIC in the PC, and install the NIC's drivers. Configure the NIC using Windows, so that it has the appropriate addresses on the network and the correct network protocols. Test the NIC to verify that the PC can access resources on the network.
you configure by looking at your rear and you might find the light blinking on your NIC!
First you have to configure your NIC card, preferably with a static IP address. Then, tell the webserver software which port and which address to listen on.
Check mechenical part, the adapter was installed prorerly and in its place. Check software part, drivers were installed properly. Try to ping the router or the desktop itslelf. It will help only in the case when the adapter was damaged.
if by BUS you mean Frontside Bus, you dont need to configure anything, it is automatically configured when the computer is made
i.p address, sub-net mask and default gateway
NICs stands for network interface controller. In computer networking, a NIC provides the hardware interface between a computer and a network. A NIC technically is network adapter hardware in the form factor of an add-in card such as a PCI or PCMCIA card.
Hardware is the hard stuff you can touch, such as the case, the cards (NIC, Video, Sound, etc) hard drives, etc. Software is the stuff you can't touch, like the programs that run on the computer like the Operating System (Windows) Office, etc.
No, the NIC will automatically install its own protocols and use them if needed
It's call a NIC (Network Interface Card)
NIC is a computer connected to the outside world, is inserted into a LAN network interface board through the mainframe (or insert a PCMCIA card in a laptop).Just Like other hardware equipment in your laptop or desktop or other device, the network adapter(NIC) may needs you to install updated drivers for improved effectiveness.
