Network Adapter / Ethernet Problems

The Ethernet adapter does not work -

?? Go to [Start > Control Panel > System > Hardware >

Device Manager]. Double-click on Network Adapters and check

if SiS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter appears as one of the

adapters. If it does not exist, Windows has not detected the SiS

Ethernet adapter or the device driver has not been installed

properly. If there is a yellow mark or red-cross on the SiS

network adapter, it may be a device or resource conflict.

Replace or update the device driver from the factory CD-ROM

disk or consult Windows manual on how to solve the resource

conflict problem.

?? Make sure the physical connections on both ends of the

cable are good.

?? The hub or concentrator may not be working properly.

Check to see if other workstations connected to the same hub or

concentrator are working.

The Ethernet adapter does not appear to operate in the

100Mbps transmission mode -

?? Make sure the hub you are using supports 100Mbps

operation.

?? Make sure that your RJ-45 cable meets the 100Base-TX

requirements.

?? Make sure the Ethernet cable is connected to the hub ?

socket that supports 100Base-TX mode. The hub may have

both 100Base-TX and 100Base-T sockets.
