Before Using the Configuration and Diagnostic Program

To configure the 3C319 NIC, the NIC must be already
installed in your PC and connected to the network, as
described in

Chapter 2

.

The Configuration and Diagnostic Program is a DOS
application that will not function properly if the 3C319
drivers are already installed.

The Configuration and Diagnostic Program indicates
memory conflicts if you run it with a memory manager
without excluding the memory range used by the
3C319 NIC. Before you run the Configuration and
Diagnostic Program, you must bypass the drivers and
the /memory manager. Use a DOS diskette if you are
running DOS 5.0 or earlier.

If you are running Windows NT, perform a clean boot
from the DOS partition, or boot from a DOS diskette to
run the diagnostic program. If you use Windows 95 or
Windows for Workgroups, exit Windows and restart the
PC in MS-DOS mode, or boot from a floppy that has the
operating system installed on it.
