Manually associate an NIC

To manually associate a network interface card (NIC) with KINGSTAR, complete the steps that follow:

1. On the taskbar, click Start > RTX64 4.5 Runtime > RTX64 Control Panel.
2. In RTX64 Control Panel, under Subsystem, click Manage RTX64 devices to launch Device Manager.



3. In Device Manager, expand Network adapters, right-click the network card you want to associate with KINGSTAR, and then click Update driver. The card must be supported by both RTX64 and KINGSTAR.



4. On the Update Drivers page, click Browse my computer for driver software.



5. Click Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer.



6. In the list of cards, do one of the following:
   • If your network cards shows in the list, select the card that includes RTX64 in the name, and then click Next.

   

   • If your network card does not show up in the list, click Have Disk.

   

   1. In the Install From Disk dialog box, click Browse and navigate to the RTX64 inf location C:\Program Files\IntervalZero\RTX64\inf if you installed RTX64 at the default location.

   

   2. In the Locate File dialog box, select RTX64PnpNet.inf and click Open.

   

   3. In the Install From Disk dialog box, click OK.

   

7. The RTX64 driver installs for the network card. Click Close after the installation is completed. The network card is now controlled by the RTX64 Subsystem.



8. Do one of the following to assign the card to KINGSTAR:
• Go to KINGSTAR Control Panel > Runtime Settings > Network Interface Cards. Assign the RTX64 controlled card to KINGSTAR.
• Add a driver to use the network card. See Manually add a driver.

We suggest you use KINGSTAR Control Panel because it provides a friendly interface for you to do it by one click. If KINGSTAR Control Panel doesn't work, you need to add the driver through a few steps.
