Verify cable connections
• Make sure that the computer(s) you are troubleshooting are connected correctly.
• Each network adapter must be connected to the network with Category 5 UTP
(unshielded twisted pair) cables.
• Examine the network cables and make sure that they have not been damaged. Also,
make sure that no electromagnetic interference, like unshielded speakers or
appliances on the same circuit, is affecting your network.
• If you are using a hub, router, or switch, make sure that your network cables are not
plugged into a dedicated Uplink port. The Uplink port is only used when connecting
your hub to another hub or switch.
