Additional Troubleshooting Suggestions

If the suggestions in Table 4-1 do not resolve your problem, refer to the following
troubleshooting suggestions.
Network Adapter Cards
Make sure that the network adapter cards installed in the PCs are in working
condition and the software driver has been installed.
Configuration
If problems occur after you change the network configuration, restore the original
connections. Then find the problem by making the changes, one step at a time.
Make sure that cable distances, repeater limits, and other physical aspects of the
installation do not exceed the Ethernet limitations.
Switch Integrity
You can verify the integrity of the switch by resetting the switch. To reset the
switch, use the Tools> Reset command, or remove AC power from the switch and
then reapply AC power. If the problem continues, contact NETGEAR technical
support. See the Support Information Card that shipped with your product.
4-2
One or more devices are
not properly connected,
or cabling does not meet
Ethernet guidelines.
A network loop
(redundant path) has
been created.
v1.0, March 2006
Verify that the cabling is correct.
Be sure all connectors are
securely positioned in the required
ports. Equipment may have been
accidentally disconnected.
Break the loop by ensuring that
there is only one path from any
networked device to any other
networked device.
