problems. Search the table for the problem you are experiencing, then try the corrective
action. Some problems have more than one corrective action.
Problem Possible Cause(s) Corrective Action

IP address conflict. Two or more Profile XP systems
have the same Ethernet IP
address. Refer to the procedure “Set
machine name and IP address on
each Profile XP system” on

Only the local Profile XP
system is listed in Network
Neighborhood. Missing network connection. Check that the port link
indicator is lit on the hub or
switch the Profile XP Ethernet
cable is connected to. If not,
make sure the network cable is
properly connected, then refer to

action.

in the network neighborhood.
Not even the local Profile XP
system. Some component of Windows

switched off. It may be several
minutes before refreshing the

from the list. NA
