Ethernet

You cannot see the other computers on your network

• Make sure that your Ethernet cable is plugged into the

Ethernet jack on your computer. Make sure that the

other end is plugged into a network router, switch, hub,

or other network device.

• Make sure that all computers are plugged into a

powered electrical outlet and turned on.

• Make sure that the router (if you are using one) is

plugged into a powered electrical outlet and turned on.

Most routers have lights that indicate they are working.

For more information, see the documentation that came

with your router.

• If you are using a router, try rebooting it by unplugging

its power cord, waiting five seconds, then plugging it

back in.

• Make sure that all computers on your network have the

same workgroup name.

• Make sure that all computers are using the same Subnet

Mask.

• If you assigned IP addresses to the computers, make sure

that all computers have different IP addresses. For home

networks, IP addresses should be 192.168.N.N where N

is a number you assign between 0 and 254. The first N

should be the same for all computers on your network

and the second N should be different for all computers

on your network.

The computer does not recognize an Ethernet expansion

card

• Shut down and restart your computer.

• Make sure that you have installed the required software.

For more information, see the documentation that came

with your Ethernet card.

• Reseat the card. For more information about opening

your computer case, see “Opening the case” on page 37.

For more information about your Ethernet card, see the

documentation that came with your Ethernet card.
