Wrong physical connections
For a wired connection, make sure that the numbered LAN port LED is lit for the port to which
you are connected.
Check to see that the appropriate LEDs are lit for your network devices. If your router and
computer are connected to a separate Ethernet switch, make sure that the link LEDs are lit
for the switch ports that are connected to your computer and router.
•
Wrong network configuration
Verify that the Ethernet card driver software and TCP/IP software are both installed and
configured on your computer.
Verify that the IP address for your router and your computer are correct and that the
addresses are on the same subnet.
