Driver Installation
This section covers driver installation for the NetBlaster adapter. At this stage the adapter should
be secure in the system and all Ethernet cables should be attached. If this is not the case, return
to the “Hardware Installation” procedure in the previous section.
Download the specific driver for your system from the ZNYX Networks web site
(www.znyx.com). Included on the web site with the driver is a release note with installation and
configuration instructions. Follow the directions on line to configure the driver.
Troubleshooting
All NetBlaster adapters support plug-and-play. If you have a plug-and-play system, your card will
configure itself automatically.
If the operating system does not discover the board, try running the DOS-based diagnostics
program.
Running DOS Diagnostics
DOS-based diagnostics are also available from the ZNYX Networks web site (www.znyx.com)
to help troubleshoot hardware problems. If you believe you have a hardware problem, and have
the capability to run DOS-based diagnostics, the steps below outline the use of the diagnostics.
PMC-to-PCI adapters are available from Catalyst Enterprises (http://www.catalyst-ent.com).
