To begin, single click on the Start Button in the lower left corner.

• Click on Settings, then on Control Panel, then double-click on Network.
• You should see a screen with 4 tabs on top. You only need to use the "Adapter" and "Protocol" tabs.
• Under their respective tabs, make sure both a "Network Adapter" and "TCP/IP" are listed ONLY ONCE. If either of them are listed more than once, highlight one of them and then click on Remove.
• If you're not sure what to look for, Network Adapters have small green 'cards' next to them in the list of network components. You can see a list of the four symbols used here by clicking the Add... button. The Network adapter listed should match the type of ethernet card you have in your computer.

If there is no Network Adapter or TCPIP listed, follow the steps below accordingly.

• Choose the "Network" tab.
• Single click on Add
• Your computer might start building a database of known adapters which could take a couple of sconds. Please be patient.
• You should see a screen with most of the known adapters of network cards used today. choose the one that is specific to your network card. If you have a disk already with the necessary drivers on there for your particular card, single click on Have Disk .
