The driver filename contains the letter B (for example, E100BODI.COM). • If you're replacing an existing adapter, make sure the LINK statement in your NET.CFG is correct for the new interface or adapter. For example, the LINK statement for a NetWare client should be: "LINK DRIVER E100BODI" • Verify that the frame type in your NET.CFG file matches your network. • If setting up a server, check your LOAD and BIND statements. • Test the interface by running diagnostics in Setup. Additional testing is available by using a responder. • Check the README files. Responder testing on the network (optional) Setup can test the interface more thoroughly if you have a responder on the network while running the tests. 1. Go to a computer on the network with any EtherExpress adapter or interface installed (except EtherExpress 32 or EtherExpress 16 MCA). 2. Run the appropriate configuration program for the installed interface and set it up as a responder. 3. Return to the computer with the new adapter or interface.
