Networking problems
The following are the most common networking problems:
Ethernet problems
• Problem : Your computer cannot connect to the network.
Solution : Make sure 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 meters. If the cable is connected and the distance is within acceptable limits but the problem
persists, try a different cable.
– You are using the correct device driver.
1. Go to Control Panel and click Hardware and Sound ➙ Device Manager . If you are prompted for
an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
2. If the exclamation mark ! is displayed next to the adapter name under Network adapters , you
might not be using the correct driver or the driver might have been disabled. To update the driver,
right-click the highlighted adapter.
3. Click Update Driver Software , and then follow the instructions on the screen.
– The switch port and the adapter have the same duplex setting.
If you configured the adapter for full duplex, make sure that the switch port also is configured for
full duplex. Setting the wrong duplex mode can degrade performance, cause data loss, or result in
lost connections.
– You have installed all networking software that is necessary for your network environment.
Check with your LAN administrator for the necessary networking software.
