Cannot Connect to a Server

θMake sure you are using the drivers that are shipped on the system Configuration Software CD for the onboard network controller.

θMake sure the driver is loaded and the protocols are bound.

θMake sure the network cable is securely attached to the connector at the system back panel and that the network controller Link LED is on (visible at back panel). If the cable is attached but the problem persists, try a different cable.

θMake sure the hub port is configured for the same duplex mode as the network controller.

θCheck with your LAN administrator about the correct networking software that needs to be installed.

θIf you are directly connecting two servers (no hub), you will need a crossover cable (see your hub documentation for more information on crossover cables).
