Testing the

Network

The Network Test option on the Diagnostics tab lets you verify IP
network connectivity. This test verifies if the driver is installed correctly and
tests connectivity to a gateway or other specified IP address on the same
subnet.

The network test uses TCP/IP to send ICMP packets to remote systems,
then waits for a response. If a gateway is configured, the test automatically
sends packets to that system. If a gateway is not configured or if the
gateway is unreachable, the test prompts for a destination IP address.

Note

The network test option is not available on adapters that are
grouped into a team. For information about teaming, see Chapter 2,
“Configuring Teaming” on page 43.

To run the network test, do the following:

1. Click the name of the adapter to test in the Device Management pane.

2. Click the Diagnostics tab. If the Diagnostics tab is not visible, then

from the View menu, select Navigate, Device Management, and then
Diagnostics.

3. From the Select a test to run list, select Network Test. If the

Network Test option is not available, then from the Context View tab
on the right side of the window, select Diagnostics and then select
Network Test.

The Network Test Page is displayed. See Figure 8 on page 25.

4. To change the destination IP address, select IP address to ping, then

click the browse button (...). In the Network Test window, enter a
Destination IP address, then click OK.
