Suggestions
Make sure that your machine is powered on and is online and in Ready mode.
Print a Network Configuration list (see Reports on page 83.) and check the current
Network settings printed in this list. 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 machine shows LAN Active for 2 seconds. (If you are using a
wireless connection (MFC-845CW only) or are having Network problems, see the
Network User's Guide on the CD-ROM for more information.)
