Troubleshooting Tips s Can I use the Adaptec Duralink64 v5.x software with NICs from other vendors? Duralink64 v5.x software works only with Adaptec PCI 10/100 DuraLAN NICs, but it is fully interoperable with products from other vendors. s Which protocols work with Duralink64 v5.x software and my DuraLAN NICs? TCP/IP and NetBEUI under Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000, and TCP/IP and IPX/SPX under NetWare. s Does Duralink64 v5.x software or the DuraLAN NICs support AppleTalk? No. s Does Duralink64 v5.x or my DuraLAN NIC support routing? Routing functionality is provided by network OSs, and not by NICs themselves. The NIC can be used with server OSs (like Novell's NetWare, Windows NT, and Windows 2000) that support routing. s What is the difference between the Duralink64 v4.2 or 5.0 and Duralink v3.0 software? Duralink64 v4.2 and v5.0 are the software drivers written for Adaptec's DuraLAN ASIC (used on the ANA-6x011/TX, ANA-6x022, and ANA-6x044). Duralink v3.0 is the software written for Adaptec's legacy NICs based on the DEC/Intel ASICs (used on the ANA-6911A/XX, ANA-6922A/XX, and ANA-6944A and B/XX. s Can I use the Duralink64 v5.x software with the legacy Adaptec DEC-based NICs? No. The Duralink64 v5.x software is written only for the new Adaptec DuraLAN NICs and will not support the legacy Adaptec DEC-based NICs. You can use both cards in one system if you load both the Duralink64 v4.x or v5.x and Duralink v3.0 software. However, you cannot mix and match Adaptec legacy DEC-based cards and Adaptec DuraLAN cards in a single Port Aggregation or Failover group. B-5
