•
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.
Internet Explorer is unable to access the Internet
•
Reset the power on your cable or DSL modem and your
access point. This reestablishes communication between
your Internet Service Provider and your modem and
between your modem and your access point.
•
If you previously accessed the Internet through a dial-up
modem, Internet Explorer may not be set up to access
the Internet through a network. Remove the dial-up
connection in the Internet Options in Internet Explorer.
