-Make sure the driver is loaded and the necessary protocols are installed and configured for your Intel network adapter.

-Check the Windows* Event Viewer for error messages.

-Test the adapter with the Intel® PROSet for Windows* Device Manager advanced configuration utility or with the DOS diagnostic provided in the Tools Directory contained in this archive.

-Check with your LAN administrator - you may need to install supplemental networking software.

Known Issues:
In some instances, Intel PROSet for Window* Device Manager may be missing tabs after upgrading from an older version of PROSet.  It is recommended that you uninstall the older version of PROSet before performing the upgrade.

Adapter teaming is allowed in Windows XP for Intel server class adapters. However, after setting up teams in Windows XP, you will need to reboot the computer for the changes to work properly. This will be corrected in Windows XP Service Pack 2.

After you have set up your team, Intel® PROSet for Windows* Device Manager allows you to check your switch for the correct configuration with the Check Switch Configuration button. Please allow a few minutes for the network to register the settings of your team before checking your switch configuration. Checking your switch configuration too quickly may result in a system lockup.

Please visit http://support.intel.com and check the FAQ’s for your adapter model.
