Disconnecting the Ethernet Adapter 53
Disconnecting the
Ethernet Adapter
To disconnect the Ethernet Adapter:
CAUTION: Disconnecting the Ethernet Adapter ends the network
association. To avoid possible data loss, exit all networking applications on
connected devices before you disconnect the Ethernet Adapter.
VORSICHT: Wird die Verbindung des Ethernet-Adapters getrennt, wird
damit auch die Netzwerkverbindung unterbrochen. Zur Vermeidung von
eventuellen Datenverlusten müssen alle Netzwerkanwendungen auf
verbundenen Geräten beendet werden, bevor die Verbindung des
Ethernet-Adapters getrennt wird.
1 Unplug the Ethernet Adapter Ethernet cable from the hub or other
device.
2 Unplug the Ethernet Adapter power cord.
Symptom Solution(s)
You are running Windows NT.
After you connect the
Ethernet Adapter, your
computer cannot obtain a
valid IP address.
The Ethernet Adapter configuration settings may not be
compatible with the network. If they are not, and your
Windows NT computer is set up to obtain its IP address
from a DHCP server, the Ethernet Adapter is unable to
associate with the network to obtain the IP address.
To work around this, set a static IP address on your
computer. Then set the Ethernet Adapter
configuration to match the network. When the
Ethernet Adapter is able to associate, reset your
computer to obtain its IP address from the DHCP
server. If the Ethernet Adapter should also obtain its IP
settings from the DHCP server, make sure this is
configured properly on the IP Network page and
applied just before ending the session.
Access to the Ethernet
Adapter through Ethernet is
blocked because of incorrect
settings in the Access Control
List.
Restore the Ethernet Adapter to factory default settings
(see “Restoring the Ethernet Adapter to Factory Defaults”
on page 45). The factory default setting for the Access
Control List is disabled. After the factory default settings
are restored, the Ethernet Adapter can be accessed
through Ethernet again.
