Intel Ethernet Setup and Use

The S1836DLUAN models have the Intel 82558 10/100 Ethernet chip onboard,
which makes setting up your Ethernet connection quite simple. The following
installation and configuration instructions are courtesy of Intel, and the

tion, data sheets, white papers, or demos, visit their networking web site at

You can use your modem or Internet connection to download drivers, trouble-
shooting tips, and more. When downloading new drivers, make sure the
archive is for the PRO/100B adapter (not PRO/100). This information can be
found on Intel's website, as well as their FTP site and BBS service.

100BASE-TX Wiring: Twisted Pair Ethernet (TPE). Use category 5 cable and
RJ-45 connector for this adapter. Do not use category 3 wiring at 100 Mbps. At
100 Mbps, connect to a TX hub, not a T4 hub. For full duplex, see instructions
on page 13. Note: For more information on 100BASE-TX wiring requirements
and limitations, see "Fast Ethernet Wiring" in this guide and refer to the
README files on the installation disk.
To configure the adapter, continue with the procedures specific to your
operating system on the pages which follow.
Enable the Wake-on LAN Power Jumper (JP26)
In order for the Wake On LAN (WOL) feature to work correctly, the adapter
must be connected to a continuous power source. This allows the PRO/100
adapter to "listen to" the network even when the computer is turned off. The
WOL power jumper (JP26) is enabled when the jumper is connected or closed
