Troubleshooting Ethernet Communications Problems

 The Link (L) LED next to the Ethernet port should be on (FIG. 2). If not, check your

cables and connectors.

 Verify that the IP address and Subnet Mask settings are appropriate for your network

configuration.

 If you are connecting to the server via a direct connection with a PC (using a crossover

Ethernet cable), be sure that the IP Address of the Network card in your PC is in the same

range as the server, but not the same address as the server.

For example, a network card setting of 192.168.1.31 will work with the default server IP

address of 192.168.1.30.

Changing the IP Address of Your PC

1. Go to the Control Panel, Network Connections.

2. Double-click the Network Connection that applies to the network card you are using to connect

to the server.

3. Double-click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).

4. Select Use the Following IP Address and type in the IP Address of the MAX Server, plus one.

For example, if the server’s IP Address is XXX.XXX.1.30, then set the PCs IP Address to

XXX.XXX.1.31.

5. Set the Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0.

6. Click OK and try to establish communications with the server.

 If you are connecting to the server via a PC network, be sure that the IP address and

Subnet Mask settings are appropriate for your network configuration. Consult your

network administrator for help with this.
