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 Realtek RTL8510EX Family Fast

Ethernet NIC appears as one of the adapters. If it does not

exist, Windows has not detected the Realtek RTL8510EX

Family Fast Ethernet NIC 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 the 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 are 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 100Base-TX and 1000Base-T sockets.
