• Your machine MUST be properly set up for networking.  It is important to set the domain suffix under DNS to mit.edu:

• Go to Start  -  Settings  - Control Panel - Network.
• Select the TCP/IP protocol.   From here on what you need to do is operating system dependent.  You need to find the domain suffix box and make sure that it has mit.edu entered in it.

• On a Windows NT, 2000 or XP machine make sure you have administrator privileges. (Note that this has not been installed on a Windows XP machine, so currently this is unsupported if you have any problems.)

• You must be connected to the network through a valid MIT IP address.  Do not even think about downloading over a modem connection - you will be there forever.

• Under Windows 9x, you will need to map \\meche2.mit.edu\ADAMS_11 (more details about Win9x Microsoft Networking).

• You need to mount the installation folder on the server as a drive on your computer.

• Right-click on My Computer and select "Map Network Drive..."
• Set Path:    \\18.80.0.100\ADAMS_11 (For Win9x you will have to go directly to the share, it will not be viewable as a share on the computer \\18.80.0.100, because of DOS limitation that still exists in the Win9x OS.
• Log on as guest (no password) if asked.  (If this does not work on a Windows 95/98 machine, try logging on to your machine as "guest," with no password, before mapping the network drive.)

• Now, you are ready to install.
