Troubleshooting

A network can be simple to install and maintain. However, occasionally something

might go wrong. The best approach to troubleshooting network problems is to start

at the very simplest level and work your way up.

If more than one computer on your network has the same "Computer Name,"

communications may be negatively affected. Also, each computer must have the

same "Workgroup" name to communicate properly. Use the steps in Networking

Basics to ensure that each computer on your network has a unique "Computer

Name" and identical "Workgroup."

If your Network Adapters were not properly installed, including the Network

System Software or device drivers, your network will not function properly. Use

these steps to verify that your Network Adapters are properly installed:

1. Double -click the "System" icon in the Control Panel.

2. Select the "Device manager" tab on top of the "System Properties" dialog box.

3. Double -click "Network adapters." You should see "D-Link DFE-528TX Fast

Ethernet PCI Adapter" or "Realtek RTL8139C(A)" branching out after double -

clicking "Network adapters."
