 Trouble Shooting

    1. Everything is OK in Device Manager, but the network adapter still
       doesn't function properly. Please make sure that your Computer
       name is different from others in the same network.  You can change
       your Computer name in

       "Computer Name" -> "Change" icon.

    2. Everything appears to be OK but the network adapter still doesn't
       function properly. Please make sure that the adapter is properly
       connected to a network device (ex: HUB) and the "connection type"
       for this adapter set to "Auto-negotiation" or the correct
       media type. You can check it in "My Computer" -> press right key of
       your mouse and select "properties"->"Hardware"->"Device Manager"->"Network Adapter" 
       -> "Properties" icons. Select "Advanced" item.
