Symptom Solution

EMDIAG

reports that

the PCI NIC is not

found.

Make sure an interrupt is being allocated in the BIOS

configuration. Make sure that you are using the latest

BIOS available for your computer.

NetWare workstation

server.

Make sure workstation and server are using the same

frame type.

The Adaptec network

NIC does not work with

a PCI SCSI NIC

installed.

Try moving the Adaptec network NIC to the lowest

numbered PCI slot.

Network performance

is extremely slow.

If you are using a TX NIC for 100 Mbps, be sure to use

CAT 5 UTP. Is your NIC configured for Full Duplex? If

so, make sure the switch is configured for Full Duplex.

Link status light does

not light when

connected to the cable.

Make sure the NIC’s network driver is loaded.

System hangs upon

boot up.

Determine if the problem is a memory conflict by

booting again with no memory manager present. If the

system now boots up, you may need to upgrade

EMM386 (PCI systems).

EMDIAG

reports that

not all test packets are

transmitted properly.

You are probably connected to an active network cable

and are simply encountering collisions on the cable. If

so, losing some packets is normal.

EMDIAG

reports that

the PCI BIOS does not

support PCI-to-PCI

bridge chip.

Make sure you are using the latest BIOS for your PCI

computer. You may use the NetWare and NDIS 2.0

drivers even without PCI-to-PCI bridge chip support.
