SYMPTOMS
========

If you have two ISA network adapters of the same model and type installed,
Setup's automatic detection finds only one adapter. If you click the Find Next
button, the second adapter is not found.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this issue, use either of the following methods:

1. During Setup, after the first adapter is detected, click Next to view the
  settings for the first network adapter.

2. Click Find Next. This should display the settings for the second network
  adapter and allow you to install it.

-or-

After Setup is finished, use the Network tool in Control Panel to manually add
the second adapter.
