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 (see Configuring Teaming). To run the network test 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, then Device Management, and then Diagnostics . 3. From the Select a test to run list, select Network Test.
