The computer is unable to communicate with the product 1. Test network communication by pinging the network. a. Open a command-line prompt on your computer. For Windows, click Start, click Run, and then type cmd. b. Type ping followed by the IP address for your product. For Mac OS X, open the Network Utility, and then supply the IP address in the correct field in the Ping pane. c. If the window displays round-trip times, the network is working. 2. If the ping command failed, verify that the network hubs are on, and then verify that the network settings, the product, and the computer are all configured for the same network. The product is using incorrect link and duplex settings for the network Hewlett-Packard recommends leaving this setting in automatic mode (the default setting). If you change these settings, you must also change them for your network.
