!Troubleshooting

Setup displays the adapter’s configuration, then runs a series of diagnos- tic tests that makes sure the adapter and network are functioning properly. If Setup finds a problem, it displays the results and some possible solutions.

5When Setup finishes the tests, you’ll see the Install Network Drivers screen.

6Select the driver you want to install. Setup can install a NetWare client driver for you. If you’re installing other drivers, Setup displays a README file with installation instructions.

!Troubleshooting

If you can’t connect to a server, first try the suggestions here, then turn to page 14.

• Make sure you’re using the drivers for this adapter. The driver filename contains the letter B (for example, E100BODI.COM).

• If you’re replacing an existing adapter, make sure the LINK statement in your NET.CFG is correct for the new adapter. For example, the LINK statement for a NetWare client should be:

LINK DRIVER E100BODI

• Verify that the frame type in your NET.CFG file matches your network.

• If setting up a server, check your LOAD and BIND statements.

• Test the adapter by running diagnostics in Setup. Additional testing is available by using a responder (see below).

• Check the README files (see page 1 for instructions).

Responder testing on the network (optional)

Setup can test the adapter more thoroughly if you have a responder on the network while running the tests.

1Go to a computer on the network with any EtherExpress adapter installed (except EtherExpress 32 or EtherExpress 16 MCA).

2Run the appropriate configuration program for the installed adapter and set it up as a responder.

3Return to the computer with the new adapter. Run Setup and make the new adapter a sender. Test the adapter.
