3.6 Troubleshooting Connection Problems
Many connection problems are easily solved, especially with Windows® XP operating systems.
Windows XP is currently the preferred operating system, and has enhanced connectivity over other
operating systems. Vista is good also, but may impose user security restrictions. Windows 2000 is
almost as simple, but may require an extra step or two, as discussed.
If your computer uses Windows 95, 98, or NT 4.0 for the operating system, we strongly recommend
upgrade to Windows XP for easiest connectivity. This may require a full computer upgrade, as older
computers may not have the processor speed, memory, or connectivity required to run Windows XP
with full Ethernet compatibility.
