Compaq LTE Elite User Manual

o Ensure that the network cable is securely attached to the expansion base.
A loose cable is the most common cause of network problems. If the cable
is loose, secure it and see if the computer communicates with the
network.
o Ensure that the I/O address and interrupt level do not conflict with
another option.
o Determine whether another computer other than the computer currently in
use has communicated with the network from the expansion base. If so,
determine whether anything was added or changed that could have stopped
the network interface from working.
o Run Computer Checkup (TEST) to test the network interface and determine
if a problem is being caused by a controller or by a cable. Computer
Checkup can be run before installing the network drivers to verify that
the network interface is working correctly.
IMPORTANT: For the Compaq LTE Lite Family of Personal Computers, use the
diagnostics diskette included with the SmartStation Adapter
to run Computer Checkup.
Network Adapter Patch
A file from the Network Install diskette must be installed when using the
Compaq LTE Elite with certain network adapters while in certain operating
environments. The Network Install diskette is included with the Compaq
SmartStation and the Compaq LTE Lite Desktop Expansion Base Upgrade Kit.
The README.DOC file on the diskette details how to use each file and
specifies the network interface cards and network operating systems that
require it.

a network adapter or the Compaq LTE Elite with the built-in Ethernet
controller in the Compaq SmartStation.
