Check the cable to ensure it is plugged in

and not damaged.

The link integrity light on the integrated network

connector lets you verify that your connection is

working and provides information on the status:

a 10-Mbps network and the computer.

a 100-Mbps network and the computer.
Off — The computer is not detecting a

physical connection to the network.
