摘要： An computer program product and a method is presented for diagnosing hardware and software problems on a network computer through the use of a diagnostic adapter card. The diagnostic adapter card is installed in an open slot in the system bus and thus has access to all the network computer electronics and peripherals. Diagnostic programs are run and the results are logged. By analyzing these results, the source of the problem can be determined and reported for service or repair. The diagnostic adapter card contains its own processor, read only memory, random access memory, and interface logic for connecting to the system bus, a set of external wrap cables for peripheral connector testing, and an external reporting device. Some tests require use of a wrap cable to connect two or more ports together. Other tests, such as system bus timing or memory integrity, do not require the use of wrap cables.

摘要： A method and system for specifying a targeted device by its network address and inducing the targeted device to produce a user detectable action are disclosed. Initially, an echo locator is invoked by the user at a first device (the initiating device), such as by entering a predetermined keyboard sequence. Upon invoking the locator, the targeted device is then specified by the user with an IP address, a host name, or with some other suitable identifier. If the targeted device is specified indirectly, the locator determines the network device that is associated with the specified device. Once the targeted devices has been identified, the locator of the user device issues one or more messages such as ICMP echo requests that generate a response from the targeted device. In one embodiment, the echo requests do not produce a response unless a threshold number of locator requests are detected within a predetermined time limit.
