Running diagnostics
===================

Intel's diagnostic software lets you test the adapter to see if there are
any problems with the adapter hardware, the cabling, or the network.

It's a good idea to run diagnostics every time you install an adapter.
You can also use diagnostics to isolate problems during troubleshooting.


DOS and Windows* 3.1 users
==========================

1  Restart your computer before loading any EtherExpress(TM) PRO/100B
   adapter network drivers.
   
   Note: If drivers are installed, you must remove them or disable them
         and reboot your computer before running the diagnostic software.

2  Insert the Intel Configuration and Driver diskette into a drive,
   switch to that drive, and at the DOS prompt, type:
      
      SETUP

3  From the Board Menu, select the adapter you want to test. (If you have
   only one PRO/100 adapter installed, the Board Menu doesn't appear.)

4  From the Main Menu, select Test adapter. Then select Test adapter
   again. The program runs a series of tests that make sure the adapter
   is functioning properly.

5  Repeat steps 3, 4, and 5 for each EtherExpress PRO/100B adapter
   installed in the computer.


To test the adapter with a responder on the network
---------------------------------------------------

1  Go to a computer on the same network segment with an EtherExpress 16
   ISA, Flash32, EtherExpress PRO or EtherExpress PRO/100 adapter
   installed.

2  If this computer already has EtherExpress adapter network drivers
   installed, restart the computer without loading them. For example, if
   the drivers are loaded from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, add REM in front of
   each line that loads a driver. Or, boot from a DOS disk.

3  Run the diagnostics program for the adapter that's installed in the
   computer.

4  From the Main menu, select the command for testing the adapter, then
   select Set up as diagnostics responder.

5  Return to the computer you want to test. Run SETUP, choose Test
   adapter, and then choose Continuous Network test.


Windows NT* users
================

1  Double-click the Network icon in the Control Panel.

2  Click the Add Adapter button.

3  Don't select an Intel adapter from the list. Instead, scroll to the
   end of the list and select:
   
   <Other> Requires disk from manufacturer.

4  Insert the Intel Configuration and Drivers disk into your floppy
   drive.

   The Intel PRO adapter setup program launches.

5  Click the Test button.

   If you've just added the adapter, the network driver won't be active
   and the diagnostics will test the adapter and it's connection to the
   network.

   If you're testing an adapter that's already been installed, the
   network driver will probably be active and the diagnostics will test
   the driver. This diagnostic tracks the driver's actual network
   activity.


Windows 95 users
=================

1  Select Shut Down from the Start menu. Then select Restart the computer
   in MS-DOS mode and click Yes. You can't run diagnostics in a MS-DOS
   window within Windows 95.

2  Insert the Intel Configuration and Drivers disk into a drive, switch
   to that drive, and at the DOS prompt, type:
      
      SETUP <Enter>

3  From the Main Menu, select Test adapter. Then select Test adapter
   again. The program runs a series of tests that make sure the adapter
   is functioning properly.

4  Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 for each EtherExpress PRO/100B adapter
   installed in the computer.

• Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.

• Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

• From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.

• Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.

Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
