winipcfg, at least on winblows 95.

// ok as to hardware. loopback test with T-connector and 2 terminators
// failed on windoze box. auto media detect is on. LED's are present and
// flash. cables are not leftovers from cable guy. they are new. as are
// terminators and T-connectors., but i only have the 2 of each, so i
// cannot test if they are good. 

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.
