ROUBLESHOOTING

 1. Symptom

You cannot connect to the network.

Probable Causes

• You did not install the software driver and

Ethernet converter as indicated in this manual.

Possible Solutions

• Uninstall the driver from your operating system,

power off and disconnect any devices attached
to the converter, and disconnect it from the USB
port. Reinstall the converter according to the
installation instructions in this manual.

 2. Symptom

You cannot access a Windows or NetWare service
on the network.

Probable Causes

• The Windows service you are trying to access is

restricted to a specific workgroup or domain.

• You have not enabled NetWare service on your

computer.

• You do not have a valid user ID or password for

the server you are trying to access.

Possible Solutions

• Open the Network icon under the Control Panel

and assign your computer to a workgroup or
domain. Then reboot your computer to enable
the new settings.

• Open the Network icon under the Control Panel,

add NetWare services, and then reboot your
computer to enable NetWare.

• Contact your system administrator to obtain a

user ID and password for the server you want to
access.

 3. Symptom

You cannot connect to the Internet.

Probable Causes

• You have not yet configured your computer for

TCP/IP.

Possible Solutions

• If your network does not have a DCHP server

(which can dynamically assign an IP address to
your computer when it connects to the network),
contact your network administrator to obtain a
valid IP address. Click on the Network icon in
the Control Panel, and specify the required TCP/
IP settings. Then reboot your computer to enable
the new settings.
