Make sure that the other end is plugged into a router. • Make sure that all computers are plugged into a powered electrical outlet and turned on. • Make sure that the router is plugged into a powered electrical outlet and turned on. Most routers have lights that indicate they are working. For more information, see the documentation that came with your router. • Make sure that all computers on your network have the same workgroup name. • Make sure that all computers are using the same Subnet Mask. • If you assigned IP addresses to the computers, make sure that all computers have different IP addresses. For home networks, IP addresses should be 192.168.N.N where N is a number you assign between 0 and 254. The first N should be the same for all computers on your network and the second N should be different for all computers on your network.

For more information, see the documentation that came with your Ethernet card. • Reseat the card.
