If the new NIC functions properly, the problem is related to the original NIC. s Install the NIC in another functioning computer, and run the tests again. If the NIC works in this machine, the problem is related to one of three areas: - The computer is faulty - There is a hardware conflict - There are problems with the cables or connectors Troubleshooting Use the following table to help answer common questions.
