Adapter Problems
Problem Possible Solution
Host adapter is
not found.
The PCI system in your computer is supposed
to configure the bus address locations
automatically. An address conflict is probably
not the problem. If the driver is correctly
installed, a driver message should appear in
the system driver event log after bootup of your
computer.
1 Make sure the adapter card is seated
correctly in the bus expansion slot. Try
another PCI slot. Try another adapter that is
known to operate correctly.
2 Check for correct configurations of the
network cable into the adapter card. Verify
the cable is properly connected at both
ends. If the cable is connected correctly, the
Link LED will be on.
3 Ping the failed system from another host on
the network.
4 Reseat the adapter card.
The card cannot
communicate with
other hosts on the
network.
1 Check the network cable and all connections.
2 Try to ping other hosts on the network from
your host computer.
