Network Interface Cards - What adapter are you using?

The following section is very helpful in the event that you cannot connect to the router interface. This will show you how to change the actual speed of your adapter and properly identify its Make/Model. You will also want to have this information handy if you need to contact Technical Services for any reason.

§Click “Start”, and then go to “Settings” and click on “Control Panel”. Double- click the “Network” Icon and then you will see a list of adapters. Usually the network interface card will include 10/100 or LAN in its actual name.

§If you have a problem connecting to the router interface, there may be a problem with the auto negotiation features of your adapter. In this case you would need to hard-set the speed of the adapter. To do this, double-click on its name in “Network” and go to the Advanced tab. Look through each setting and change the “media type” or “link speed” to 10Mb Half Duplex/10BaseT. Then press OK to save the changes.
