Chapter 8: Troubleshooting

Networks

You cannot see the other computers on your wired Ethernet network
Make sure that your Ethernet cable is plugged into the Ethernet
■
jack on your computer. Make sure that the other end is plugged
into a router or cable or DSL modem.
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.
Your wired Ethernet network is running slower than you expect
■ If your Ethernet network is running slower than you expect,
check the speed of each Ethernet component. For best results, all
Ethernet components should be standard Ethernet (10 Mbps),
Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps or 10/100 Mbps), or Gigabit Ethernet
(1000 Mbps or 10/100/1000 Mbps). A mixture of Ethernet, Fast
Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet components will result in your
network running at the slowest component speed.
You cannot connect to your company network
Every network is unique. Contact your company computer department
or network administrator for help.
