From the Hard Drive
Use the following steps to run the Diagnostics utility from your hard
drive:
1
Make sure
himem.sys
and
emm386.exe
are currently in
config.sys
and that files=30 is present.
If they are not, add the following lines to the top of the
config.sys
file:
device=c:\dos\himem.sys
device=c:\dos\emm386.exe /noems
files=30
Type the path to the DOS programs if it is not found in
c:\dos
.
2
Create a directory for the diagnostics on your hard drive.
3
Copy all files in this directory to the new diagnostics directory
of the hard drive.

Note:
The easiest way of testing a DuraLAN NIC is running
the Selftest.
