Connection occurs, but network seems inactive ■ Using the Device Manager utility in your operating system, verify that the network adapter device driver is properly installed. ■ Verify that the TCP/IP or other required networking protocol is bound to the network adapter and properly configured. ■ Verify that you are using a valid address for your network. For network address information, contact your network administrator. ■ Verify that the network resource you are trying to reach is on and connected to the network. Troubleshooting 2-33

Network Problems
Notebook cannot connect to the network
For information about the network status indicator(s) on
your notebook, refer to your model-specific documentation.
Verify that the network cable is a Category 5 (CAT-5) twisted-pair
cable.
Verify that one end of the network cable is securely plugged into
the RJ-45 (network) jack on your system and that the other end of the
cable is securely connected to an Ethernet network wall jack (not to
a digital telephone wall jack or other similar-looking wall jack).
Try connecting to a different Ethernet network wall jack that you
know is functioning correctly.
If you are plugging directly into a hub or switch, make sure the hub or
switch is turned on and that you are not plugging into the uplink port.
Connection occurs, but network seems
inactive
Using the Device Manager utility in your operating system, verify
that the network adapter device driver is properly installed.
Verify that the TCP/IP or other required networking protocol is bound
to the network adapter and properly configured.
Verify that you are using a valid address for your network. For
network address information, contact your network administrator.
Verify that the network resource you are trying to reach is on and
connected to the network.
