ABSTRACT:
A system and method for on-line diagnosing a network interface card (NIC) includes a NIC configuration test module, a NIC communication test module and a test response generator. An information handling system includes a server having a NIC that is able to communicate with a network. The NIC configuration test module detects configuration errors associated with the NIC. The NIC communication test module determines if the NIC can communicate with another server by identifying at least one associated address, sending at least one packet to the associated address and receiving at least one packet from the associated address.
