Can't you find a ohmmeter around ? It's still the most useful tool and cost/benefit ratio for coax cable analysis. :) // diagnostics seemed ok on windize box, except failed loopback test. BUT // on bsd box i had a failed ram test/memory conflict. the setup program // allows 2 addressing modes: ram base and i/o mapped. i set to ram base // and used 0d800 and set kernal to this as well. the setup only allows a // range of c000 - ee00 step 200. kernal apparently has much larger range // 000000 - ffffff (?). is there provision for i/o mapping? auto media // detection is on; PnP is off. testing would not progress to loopback: // stopped when ram test failed. I strongly suspect of hardware problems. If you can fix this, try also the remote repeater test. Hope your card's diagnostic program has this test.
