Network Problems
Check the network activity indicator on the front of the computer — If the activity indicator is off, the network is not active. Check the network cable
connection on the back of the computer to ensure the connector is seated properly.
Check the network cable connector — Ensure that the network cable is firmly inserted into the network connector on the back of the computer and the
network jack.
Check the network lights on the back of the computer — If the Activity LED flashes yellow with network activity, and the Link LED is:
l Green – indicates a 10 Mbps connection
l Orange – indicates a 100 Mbps connection
l Yellow – indicates a 1000 Mbps connection
If either the Activity LED or Link LED is off, no network communication is occurring. Replace the network cable. Restart the computer and log on to the network
again.
Check your network settings — Contact your network administrator or the person who set up your network to verify that your network settings are correct
and that the network is functioning.
