Testing Network Connectivity
This section describes how to test the network connectivity of the new
adapter with the operating system TCP/IP Ping command. This test
assumes the following:

The adapter is connected to your network.

The computer has an IP address. The address can be
a static address that you manually assigned it or a
dynamic address from a DHCP server.

You know the IP address of another network device.

If the new DNC10 adapter is the only network adapter
in the computer, you may test it either by having it ping
another device or by having another device ping the
adapter. However, if there is more than one network
adapter in the computer, you should test the new
adapter by having another device ping it.
To test the network connectivity, perform the following procedure.
1. Click the Start icon in the left bottom corner of the computer screen.
2. In the search box, type cmd and click OK .
3. If you are performing the ping command at the system with the new
network adapter, type ipconfig /all to display its IP address
configuration.
