Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Which PCI slot is best for my NIC.

Q. Which PCI slot(s) are "bus mastering" in my PC?
A: All PCI slots on the supported HP PCs support Bus Master.
Q. Where do I find the driver installation Readme files?
A. The various Readme files can be found in the \HELP directory of
diskette 3. For installation and configuration tips specific to HP
PCs, refer to the HPreadme.txt file.
Q. Can I use the NIC instead of the integrated LAN supplied on my PC?
A. Yes, but you will need to deactivate the integrated LAN. Your
PC's User's Guide will tell you how to do this. You might not be able
to use the Remote Power-On feature of your NIC because some PCs
with an integrated LAN do not have a remote wake-up connector.
Q. I have a old version of the driver already installed on my system, how
do I successfully install the new driver?
A. If you have an older version of the driver already installed on
your system, the NIC Doctor diagnostics will not install correctly. To
correct this, you must remove the old driver files before you start
the installation. You then need to delete two files,
from your
TCAITDI.INF
also be present in your
one, these should be deleted also. You should now be able to install
the driver and then use the diagnostics without any problems.
Q. How do I remove the software that comes with the NIC from my
system?
A. You can remove the 3Com NIC Diagnostics Program from your
system at any time by running the uninstaller in the Add/Remove
Programs Control Panel. This will remove the diagnostics program
and the 3Com tray Icon. If you remove all the Fast EtherLink
XL/EtherLink XL NICs from the Network control panel the uninstall
program will be run automatically.
