Troubleshooting and Error Messages
This section explains how to troubleshoot the HP Ethernet Family Adapter using
the HPIEDIAG utility.
HPIEDIAG is an interactive diagnostic program. It includes easy to run diagnostics
for testing the LAN interface and the network links.
•
If the PC is supplied with a LAN Disk or the “Drivers CD-ROM”, the HPIEDIAG
utility is in the
\DIAG
subdirectory.
•
If the PC has preinstalled software on the hard disk, the HPIEDIAG utility is on
the PC's hard disk in the
LAN\DIAG
directory.
To display information on the LAN drivers and utilities, start Windows and click
on the README icon in the HPUTILS Window.
The README file explains how to copy the files to a diskette. You can then use
this LAN Disk to run the HPIEDIAG utility. For more information, refer to
“Driver
Installation - LAN Disk” on page 15.
