This section describes some of the com-

mon problems you may encounter while using
your network adapter. When troubleshooting, you
should make sure that the network you are con-
nected to is functioning. If you suspect that the
adapter is malfunctioning, replace it with another
adapter which is known to function properly. Also
try the adapter in another computer. This can
indicate whether the adapter or computer causes
the problem.  If you can not resolve your difficulty
after reading the following information, contact
your dealer or vendor for assistance.

Most adapter failure after installation is

caused by A) I/O base address and IRQ Line
conflict, or B) Cable problems.

used by the adapter is not already in use by
another device in your PC. If your PC has built-
in serial ports then you will not be able to use IRQ
4 (COM1) or IRQ 3 (COM2). Other adapters in
your system may already use addresses 0300H or
0320H (example: sound/audio card). Vary the
settings on your network adapter by running
SETUP again to eliminate the conflict. Running
the diagnostic in SETUP will also help to detect
configuration conflicts.
