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 National Semiconductor DP83815/816

10/100 MacPhyter PCI Adapter appears as one of the adapters.

If it does not exist, Windows has not detected the National

Semiconductor 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.
