Configuring the 100/10 PCI Ethernet Adapter

Troubleshooting

Make sure that you are using the drivers that come with this
adapter.

Make sure that the driver is loaded and the protocols are bound.
See the Network Bindings dialog box in Windows NT Server
3.51 to verify this.

Make sure that you are using Category 5 cabling when
operating at 100 Mbps.

Test the adapter using the instructions in “Configuring for
Windows NT Server 3.51” on page 68.

Check with your LAN administrator.

Configuring for Other Operating Systems

Refer to the help files on the Ethernet Configuration and Drivers
program for instructions on configuring for other operating systems.

To view the help files, insert the Ethernet Configuration and Drivers
diskette in drive A, and switch to that drive. At the
operating-system prompt, type SETUP \README. Then, press Enter.

Select Installing 100/10 PCI Ethernet adapter drivers.

Duplexing

Duplexing is a performance option that lets you choose how the
adapter sends and receives packets over the network.

There are three duplex modes:

Full duplex

The adapter sends and receives packets at the same
time, increasing adapter performance. This mode
requires a full-duplex hub.

Half duplex

The adapter performs one operation at a time: it
either sends or receives packets.

Auto-negotiate

The adapter negotiates with the hub on how to
send and receive packets, through either full or half
duplex mode.
