Broadcom 440X User Manual page 19

From the Network Test tab, you can verify IP network connectivity. This test verifies if the driver is
installed correctly and tests connectivity to a gateway or other specified IP address on the same
subnet. The Network test uses TCP/IP. The network test sends ICMP packets to remote systems and
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 you for a destination
IP address.
Diagnostics
From the Diagnostics tab you can perform diagnostic tests on the physical components of the
Broadcom 440X 10/100 Integrated Controller network adapter. The tests are continuously performed
on the selected physical components. The number of passes and fails in the Pass/Fail column
increments each time the tests are performed. For example, if a test is performed four times and there
are no fails, the value in the Pass/Fail column is 4/0. However, if there were 3 passes and 1 fail, the
value in the Pass/Fail column is 3/1.
NOTE: The network connection is temporarily lost when these tests are running.
