Diagnostic utility

The diagnostic utility uses a combination of utilities to gather information about your computer and network to help identify problems. The utility can be run by clicking on the Test My Computer link at the login screen or using the -diag command line argument. It stores the results to a text file called NetworkDiag.log in your Guild Wars directory.
