Troubleshooting and Maintenance
Troubleshooting Your Computer
If the computer won't boot from the floppy disk drive
• Make sure the drive is installed in the module bay or connected correctly—see "To
connect the floppy disk drive to the parallel port" on page 74.
• Make sure the floppy disk drive is selected as the boot device—see "To change the
boot device" on page 30.
If the computer stops responding after booting
• Check whether you are connected to 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 the computer takes a long time to resume after being suspended
• The computer can routinely take a minute or more to resume if it has a network card
installed. While the operating system is loading drivers and checking hardware and
network connections, you will see a blinking cursor on your display. As soon as the
hardware has been re-initialized, the Windows desktop will appear.

People (Windows XP) to locate the computer.
If you cannot connect to a particular computer on the network
• Make sure the computer is properly connected to the network.
• Make sure your TCP/IP setup is correct for your network: in Control Panel, open
Network and Dial-up Connections (Windows 2000) or Network Connections
(Windows XP).
