NETEST v1.00

WHAT THE #@%!! ARE THE %@#$%^&* JUMPER SETTINGS ON THIS NETWORK CARD???
Ever asked yourself that question?

I wrote NETEST as a cheap & dirty Netware crowbar to assist with finding the 
correct jumper settings on mystery NE1000 Ethernet cards whose documentation 
was long gone.  It can easily be expanded to include NE2000 or other NIC's by
you.  Just follow the format you find in the batch files.  You can recompile
your new batchfiles using BATLITE, which is included.

Basically, just plug the unknown NIC into a computer, set the jumpers to your 
best guess, and run NETEST.  You must have a working server connected, with the 
file LOGIN.EXE in the F:\LOGIN subdirectory.

If you don't communicate, readjust jumpers and run it again.  Sooner or later,
you'll hit on a valid combination.  Although it's not an intelligent program,
it can save you hours of keyboard input, rebooting, and may keep you from 
trashing those old NIC's.

The IRQ/ADDRESS combinations are the standard Novell NE1000 driver setups:

	2/300	2/320	2/340	3/300	3/320	3/360	

	4/300	4/340	4/360	5/320	5/340	5/360

Notes on Installation and Use:

1.  To install, make a C:\NETEST subdirectory and copy all the files in 
    FILES.LST into it.

2.  You can change the original NETEST.BAT to include other Netware drivers
    and recompile with BATLITE into NETEST.COM or run it via the NETEST.BAT 
    (batch mode).  Add the IPX drivers to the NETEST directory.  Rename them
    from IPX.COM to a similar filename convention to those used for the 
    NE1000 drivers included in this release (i.e., NE1K2300.COM for the
    NE1000 IRQ:2, ADDR:300 driver).

3.  TEMPFILE is created upon successful attachment to file server, and if
    subsequently found by NETEST, it will cause an early bailout.  After 
    finding TEMPFILE, the program will delete it.  You simply restart it a 
    second time.

4.  You can change NET5.COM to any version shell driver.  Edit the file
    NEST.BAT to reflect the updated (or backdated) driver.  NEST.BAT cannot
    be compiled by BATLITE and must remain in batchfile form.

5.  You must have a copy of NETx.COM in the NETEST subdirectory.  You may
    also add your own compiled versions of IPX.COM to the system.

Hope it helps!
