No worries. Thanks for the update!

I have experience running the PCI portion of the HLK from Windows 8, so
that gives me the basic idea. Those tests required two machines: the
one with the device and the driver and the one with the HLK server.
Network device testing is more complex because the test needs to control
both the OS' end of the traffic and the external traffic. I found this:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/test/hlk/testref/lan-testing-prerequisites
(apologies if Exchange or Outlook mangles that link... ):
It appears that you need three devices: the HLK server, the device with
the 'hardware' and the driver for testing ('Test Machine' with a 'message
device'), and the external traffic source/sink ('Support Machine'). All
three probably need a backchannel link to the HLK server, while the Test
Machine and Support Machine do best with a dedicated link through the
device whose driver is being tested.
There should be a predefined set of individual tests that are required
by the signature service, probably NDISTest 6.5.
I'd be happy to review failure logs to help figure out what's going wrong.
Cheers,
Jon
