Make sure you’re using the correct drivers.
Make sure you’re using the drivers that come with this adapter. The driver file
name always contains the letter B (for example, E100BODI.DOS). Drivers that
support previous versions of this adapter don’t support this version of the
adapter.
Make sure the switch port and the adapter have the same duplex
setting.
If you configured the adapter for full duplex, make sure the switch port is also
configured for full duplex. Setting the wrong duplex mode can degrade perfor-
mance, cause data loss, or result in lost connections.
Testing the Adapter (Diagnostics)
Test the adapter by running diagnostics. For DOS or Windows 3.1, run Setup on
the Intel adapter disk. For Windows NT*, Windows 95 and Windows 98, run
PROSet by double-clicking the PROSet icon in the Windows Control Panel. To
run diagnostics, select the adapter and click the Diagnostics tab, then click Run
Tests. For additional information, click Help in the PROSet window.
