Problems Network Communications Failure Symptom The system is unable to communicate over the network Action Your system conforms to the Ethernet 10 100BASE T standard which states that the Ethernet 10BASE T link integrity test function should always be enabled on both the host system and the Ethernet hub The system cannot communicate with a network if this function is not set identically for both the system and the network hub either enabled for both or disabled for both This problem applies only to 10BASE T network hubs where the Ethernet link integrity test is optional This is not a problem for 100BASE T networks where the test is enabled by default Refer to the documentation provided with your Ethernet hub for more information about the link integrity test function If you connect the system to a network and the network does not respond use the OpenBoot PROM command watch net all1 to display conditions for all network connections ok watch net all For most PCI Ethernet cards the link integrity test function can be enabled or disabled with a hardware jumper on the PCI card which you must set manually See the documentation supplied with the card For the standard TPE and MII main logic board ports the link test is enabled or disabled through software as shown below Remember also that the TPE and MII ports share the same circuitry and as a result only one port can be used at a time 254 Sun Enterprise 250 Se
