Troubleshooting within the Network

Why does the network environment not show the releases?
The network environment is delayed in time. Check the release by
searching for the respective PC name.
Why does an error message appear when I click on the network envi-
ronment?
The PC name must be unique on the network and may not be the
same as the task group.
It appears that the network boards are unable to communicate. What
might be the problem?
Maybe one of the used network boards works with a different
speed (for example, 10 instead 100 Mbit) and your network PC is
unable to recognize this. If necessary, set the network driver to the
compatible speed.
If two PCs should be linked you require a cross-link cable, oth-
erwise use a patch cable.
In addition, check the protocols and the configuration.
The data transmission is incorrect or very slow. What might be the
problem?
Maybe you have the wrong cable (UTP / CAT3 or lower) or the
problem is the proximity of a power cord or another source of
interference.
For further hints on troubleshooting refer to the Windows help under "Network er-
rors".
