Troubleshooting and Maintenance
Troubleshooting Your Computer
If you can't log in to Netware servers
• If a Netware server is using IPX/SPX protocol, you may need to force your frame
type to match the server's frame type. Check with your network administrator.
If the computer stops responding after booting
• Check whether you have a TCP/IP network with no DHCP server. This can cause a
long delay at startup because DHCP is enabled. Contact your network administrator
to determine the proper TCP/IP configuration.
If you have slow or dropped connections on a 10/100 network switch or hub
• The switch may be forced to 10 Mbps. For Windows 98, use Network in Control
Panel to disable Auto Polarity for the network adapter.
If a network connection responds slowly
• For Windows XP, if your network connection uses a proxy server, try enabling the
option for bypassing the proxy server for local addresses. You can do this in Control
Panel under your network connection properties.

Memory Problems

If a message says you are out of memory
• Make sure drive C is not running low on free space.
• For Windows 98, use the Memory Troubleshooter in Windows Help: click Start,
Help.
• If you are having memory problems while running MS-DOS programs, use the
MS-DOS or Application and Software troubleshooter in Windows Help: click Start,
Help (or Help and Support).
• Not all third-party memory cards have been tested for use with the computer. Please
check the HP Notebook Web site (www.hp.com/notebooks) for a list of approved and
