	v Check all connections at the Ethernet controller and the hub.
	v Check the cable. A crossover cable is required unless the hub has an X

	v Use another port on the hub.
	v If the hub does not support auto-negotiation, manually configure the Ethernet
	controller to match the hub.
	v If you manually configured the duplex mode, make sure that you also manually
	configure the speed.
	v Run diagnostics on the LEDs.

	v Make sure that you have loaded the network device drivers.
	v The network might be idle. Try sending data from this workstation.
	v Run diagnostics on the LEDs.
	v The function of this LED can be changed by device driver load parameters. If
	necessary, remove any LED parameter settings when you load the device drivers.
Data is incorrect or sporadic.	Check the following:
