Chapter 3: Troubleshooting

•Make sure that all computers are using the same Subnet Mask.

•If you assigned IP addresses to the computers, make sure that all computers have different IP addresses. For home networks, IP addresses should be 192.168.N.N where N is a number you assign between 0 and 254. The first N should be the same for all computers on your network and the second N should be different for all computers on your network.

The computer does not recognize an add-in Ethernet card

•Shut down and restart your computer.

•Make sure that you have installed the required software. For more information, see the documentation that came with your Ethernet card.

•Reseat the card. For more information about your Ethernet card, see the documentation that came with your Ethernet card.

Your Ethernet network is running slower than you expect

•If your Ethernet network is running slower than you expect, check the speed of each Ethernet component. For best results, all Ethernet components should be standard Ethernet (10 Mbps), Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps or 10/100 Mbps), or Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps or 10/100/1000 Mbps). A mixture of Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet components will result in your network running at the slowest component speed.
