Network connection errors

 

These are solutions to problems that occur when a local console fails to connect to a system over a network.

Try these possible solutions:

• Make sure the network is working.

• Verify that you provide the correct password that allows the system to access your service device information during the configuration wizard. Also, verify that you provide the correct service tools user ID and password.

• If you are using Ethernet for your network, you can use a crossover cable to directly connect the PC to the adapter temporarily. This will isolate the PC and system from any potential problems on your network that might interfere with proper operations.

  A crossover cable is a standard network cable but has the transmit and receive signal wires reversed. This virtually allows each end to act as if a hub, switch, or router is between them.
