Overview
The EtherLink PCI NIC uses two types of NIC diagnostics
programs: a Windows-based diagnostics program and a
DOS-based diagnostics program.
Use the Windows-based 3Com NIC Diagnostics program if
you are running any of the following operating systems:
■ Windows 2000
■ Windows NT 4.0
■ Windows 98
■ Windows 95
Use the 3Com DOS Diagnostics program if you are running
any of the following operating systems:
■ DOS
■ NetWare
This chapter explains how to:
■ Run the NIC diagnostic tests.
■ View the NIC LEDs in the NIC Diagnostics program.
■ View network statistics.
■ Use the 3Com icon in the Windows system tray.
■ Remove the 3Com NIC Diagnostics program.
Before starting any diagnostics program, close all running
applications.
The following sections explain how to start both NIC
diagnostics programs. However, specific instructions are
provided only for using the Windows-based 3Com NIC
Diagnostics program.
