Network Adapter / Ethernet Problems
The Ethernet adapter does not work -
Go to [Start > Settings > Control Panel > System >
Hardware > Device Manager]. Double-click on Network
Adapters and check if VIA Compatible Fast Ethernet Adapter
appears as one of the adapters. If it does not exist, Windows
has not detected the VIA Fast Ethernet adapter or the device
driver has not been installed properly. If there is a yellow mark
or red-cross on the network adapter, it may be a device or
resource conflict. Replace or update the device driver from the
factory CD-ROM disk or consult Windows manual on how to
solve the resource conflict problem.
Make sure the physical connections on both ends of the
cable are good.
The hub or concentrator may not be working properly.
Check to see if other workstations connected to the same hub
or concentrator is working.
The Ethernet adapter does not appear to operate in the
100Mbps transmission mode -
Make sure the hub you are using supports 100Mbps
operation.
Make sure that your RJ-45 cable meets the 100Base-TX
requirements.
Make sure the Ethernet cable is connected to the hub
socket that supports 100Base-TX mode. The hub may have
both 100Base-TX and 100Base-T sockets.
