Intel's diagnostic software lets you test the adapter to see if there are problems with the adapter hardware, the cabling, or the network connection.
Double-click the Intel PROSet icon in the Control Panel or system tray.
In Intel PROSet, select an Intel network adapter.
Click the General tab, then click Test Cable.
The results display in the Cable Test Results dialog box.
Double-click the Intel PROSet icon in the Control Panel or system tray.
In Intel PROSet, select an Intel network adapter.
Click the Diagnostics tab. A list of available tests will be displayed.
Click Run Tests to check adapter functionality. You can also select/deselect individual tests with the check boxes. If an error is detected, information about the error will be displayed.
Repeat steps 2 - 4 for each network adapter installed in the computer.
If you are not already at a DOS prompt, shut down the OS and start up MS-DOS*.
Insert the Intel CD or change to the installer directory that contains DIAG1000.exe.
At the DOS prompt, run one of these programs:
For PRO/100 adapters, type: DIAG100 and press
Enter.
For PRO/1000 adapters, type: DIAG1000
and press
Enter.
If you have more than one adapter in your computer, an Adapter Selection menu appears on the screen. From that menu, select the network adapter you want to test.
From the Main menu, select Test adapter and then select the type of test you want to run.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each adapter installed in the computer.
Also see Diagnostics.
The Intel adapter can send test messages to another Ethernet adapter on the same network. To set up this type of responder test in Windows (98SE, Millennium, NT 4.0, 2000, XP and .Net), see the Intel PROSet help.
