Network Connection Problems

If the Ethernet controller cannot connect to the network, check the following conditions:

Make sure that the cable is installed correctly.

The network cable must be securely attached at all connections. If the cable is attached but the problem remains, try a different cable.

If you set the Ethernet controller to operate at either 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps, you must use Category 5 or higher cabling.

Check the Ethernet controller LEDs on the device back panel. (See Figure 1-2.)
