LAN problems

If the built-in network adapter doesn't connect to the LAN
• Check all cables and connections. Try connecting at a different network station, if
available.
• If the green light next to the LAN port does not light, the LAN cable may not be
connected to the network or the network may be down. Try connecting a different
computer to the cable.
• For Windows 98, open Network in Control Panel. Make sure you have the correct
clients and protocols installed.

(Windows 98 or 2000) or Start, Control Panel, Performance and Maintenance, System
(Windows XP). If the network interface is disabled, try to enable it. If it has a conflict,
try disabling another device.
