Network Problems

Wireless Connections

If the wireless network connection is
lost
— The wireless router is offline or wireless

has been disabled on the computer.

• Check your wireless router to ensure it is

powered on and connected to your data

source (cable modem or network hub).

• Ensure that wireless is enabled on your

computer.

• Re-establish your connection to the

wireless router (see “Setting Up a Wireless

Connection” on page 20).

• Interference may be blocking or interrupting

your wireless connection. Try moving the

computer closer to your wireless router.

Wired Connections

If the wired network connection is lost — The

network cable is loose or damaged.

• Check the network 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:

– Green — A good connection exists

between a 10/100-Mbps network and the

computer.

– Orange — A good connection exists

between a 1000-Mbps network and the

computer.

– Off — The computer is not detecting a

physical connection to the network.

NOTE: The link integrity light on the network

connector is only for a wired network

connection. The link integrity light does not

provide status for wireless connections.
