in the following figure.
• NIC Diagnostics—tests the functionality of the NIC. You can run tests on the NIC,
configure NIC settings, or register the NIC using this utility.
• Connection Assistant—helps diagnose general installation or operation failures
you may experience. It provides you with knowledgebase articles and information
that may assist in troubleshooting, even without network connectivity.

network cabling.
NOTE: The programs listed above launch only if the corresponding application
