Have NT4 PC's; 3com 10/100 nic cards, SP 5+, and I am an administrator.
Can't seem to see the nic card properties, under the adapter tab in ntwk neighbourhood. Can't adjust the speed of the card, as a result...

Does anyone know how I can get this utility? Or is there an easier way?

If you go to www.3com.com, and click on the "Downloads" link, you can put in your cards model (3c905c-tx-m, for example) and get utility software and documentation. You should be able to install utility or management software that will enable you to specify NIC settings.

Sounds like the account you are using to see the NIC's properties does not have administrative privileges. If you can add/remove the NIC device driver then you have admin privileges and going to 3Comms site will help you. However I know that you can load the device driver with diagnostic tools from the CD. Hope this helps.

no. you can still be an admin and not see the utilities stuff. Have to add them, as above...from 3com site
