Suggestions
Make sure your machine is powered on and is on-line and in Ready mode.
Print the Network Configuration list to see your current Network settings.
(See How to print a report on page 65.) Reconnect the LAN cable to the hub
to verify that the cabling and network connections are good. If possible, try
connecting the machine to a different port on your hub using a different cable.
If the connections are good, the upper LED of the back panel of the machine
will be green.
If you are having Network problems see the Network User's Guide on the
CD-ROM for more information.
