Ethernet problems
• Problem : My computer cannot connect to the network.

Ensure that:
– The cable is installed correctly.
The network cable must be securely connected both to the Ethernet connector of your computer and to
the RJ45 connector of the hub. The maximum allowable distance from the computer to hub is 100 m
(328 ft). If the cable is connected and the distance is within the acceptable limits but the problem
persists, try a different cable.
– You are using the correct device driver. To install the correct driver, do the following:
1. Go to Control Panel, and ensure that you view Control Panel by Category.
2. Click Hardware and Sound ➙ Device Manager . If you are prompted for an administrator
password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
3. Double-click Network adapters to view all network adapters. If an exclamation mark ! is displayed
next to the adapter name, you might not be using the correct driver or the driver might have been
disabled.
4. Right-click the highlighted adapter, click Update driver , and then follow the instructions on the
screen to update the driver.
– The switch port and the adapter have the same duplex setting.
