Problems with the Network

„
Change the PCI BIOS interrupt settings. Try the “PCI Installation
Tips” below.
Diagnostics pass, but the connection fails:
„
Make sure the network cable is securely attached.
„
Make sure you specify the correct frame type in your NET.CFG file.
The Link LED doesn’t light:
„
Make sure you have loaded the network drivers.
„
Check all cable connections.
„
Try another port on the hub.
„
Make sure you have the correct type of cable between the adapter
and the hub. Some hubs require a crossover cable while others
require a straight-through cable (for more information on crossover
cabling, see your hub documentation).
The Activity LED doesn’t light:
„
Make sure you’ve loaded the correct network drivers.
„
Network may be idle. Try accessing a server.
The controller stopped working when an add-in adapter was installed:
„
Make sure the cable is connected to the port from the onboard
network controller.
„
Make sure your PCI BIOS is current. Try the “PCI Installation Tips”
below.
„
Make sure the other adapter supports shared interrupts. Also, make
sure your operating system supports shared interrupts; OS/2 does
not.
„
Try reseating the add-in adapter.
The add-in adapter stopped working without apparent cause.
