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 Intel Gigabit PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter appears as
one of the adapters. If it does not exist, Windows has not detected the Intel Gigabit 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 100/1000Mbps
transmission mode -
Make sure the hub you are using supports 100/1000Mbps operation.
Make sure that your RJ-45 cable meets the 100/1000Base-TX requirements.
Make sure the Ethernet cable is connected to the hub socket that supports 100/1000Base-
TX mode. The hub may have both 100/1000Base-TX and 100/1000Base-T sockets.
