Network and Internet Problems

This section will help you solve common installation and setup problems as you integrate the switch with a new or existing network.

My computers recognize my network, but it is not working correctly.

OVerify that you have the correct network settings.

Incorrect network settings will prevent networked computers from communicating properly. For example, a computer might try to detect a network by using the wrong name or by using a different communication protocol than that of all of the other computers on the network.

You can view and modify network settings by clicking Network in the Windows Control Panel. For more information about determining or verifying network settings, see Windows Help.

My network is slow.

OTry decreasing the number of computers that are simultaneously accessing your network.

Your network has a limited amount of bandwidth for transmitting data. As more computers access your network at the same time, the bandwidth must be split up between all computers. By reducing the number of computers accessing your network, you can increase the bandwidth available to each computer.

You might find that you need more bandwidth to use all of your computers on the network. If your connection is still too slow, contact your Internet service provider (ISP) to verify that there are no problems with your connection or to inquire about upgrading to a faster connection.

My computer can’t find my workgroup.

OCheck the name of the workgroup in network settings on another computer in the workgroup.

The workgroup name is on the Advanced Network Settings page, which you can access from the Customize Your Network page in the Broadband Network Utility.

If your computer can’t find your workgroup, it might be looking for the workgroup with the wrong name or you might be logged on to a domain. You cannot be logged on to a domain and a workgroup at the same time.
