4. Place Netfinity Gigabit Ethernet Adapter CD into the CD-ROM drive of your
computer.
5. From the MS-DOS prompt, type the following commands to access the proper
directory (where X is the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive):
X:
cd \dosdiags
Note: If you acquired the diagnostic software on a diskette or from the IBM support
Web site, specify the path to where the files are saved on your computer.
6. From the MS-DOS prompt, type the following command to run diagnostics:
dos4gw altdiag [-c card_number] [-l c:log_filename]
If more than one adapter is installed in your computer, the optional -c parameter can
be used for specifying the adapter card to be tested. Cards are numbered starting with
0. By default, ALTDIAG tests only the first card (number 0) detected in the
computer.
The optional -l (letter L for "log") parameter is used for defining a file in which to log
the test results. A text copy of the ALTDIAG test results is placed in the specified file
on the specified drive.
Example: To test the second card in a system and store the test results in log.txt in the
current directory on the C: drive, the following command could be used:
dos4gw altdiag -c 1 -l c:log.txt
7. Review the test results.
The test result from the previous example might look like this:
