Local Area Network (LAN) Problems

If the Built-In Network Adapter Does Not Connect
to the LAN
Check all cables and connections. Try connecting at a
different network station, if available.
Make sure the LAN cable is Category 3, 4, or 5 for 10Base-T
operation, or Category 5 for 100Base-TX operation.
Maximum cable length is 330 feet (100 meters).
Select Start > Help and Support > and use the Networking
troubleshooter.
Open the hardware Device Manager. Select Start > Control
Panel > Performance and Maintenance > System. If the
network interface is disabled, try to enable it. If it has a
conflict, try disabling another device.
If You Cannot Browse the Network Neighborhood
or My Network Places
Select Start > Search > Notebooks or People to look for a
notebook.
If You Cannot 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 frame type. Check with
your network administrator.
