ETHERNET TECHNOLOGY

Networking today has opened a whole new world in data communi­cations. Networking is simply connecting individual computers in a

way so that they can share resources such as files, applications,
and peripherals connected to the Local Area network (LAN).

The most popular and cost efficent type of network is an “Ethernet”
network, which has created a large abundance of Ethernet prod-

ucts on the market today.
A Local Area Network is the most convenient way to share infor-

mation and resources. A LAN is a network that covers a “local”
area, like a floor or building. It let’s you easily transfer files

between PCs, share printers, and share a Cable or DSL modem
among several users.

The basic components of a network are: PC’s, Cables, Network
Interface Cards (NICs), Hubs or Switches, and Network Operating

Systems (NOS).

TROUBLESHOOTING

Computer Networking can be easy to install and maintain, giving the
user the ability to share and transfer files. Occasionally, network prob-

lems arise and the user is faced with having to troubleshoot the net­work problem. Taking the best approach to trouble shooting a network

problem is to start at the very simplest level and work your way up.

On the following pages we have covered common troubleshooting sit­uations. Please read the following section. (Please see the disclaimer

on page 43).

UNDERSTANDING INDICATORS

10

Indicator Lights:
Power The power LED will light up when DHN-1000 is

powered up.

Ethernet Will light up when corresponding port is sending

data over the network.

HPNA Will light when HPNA to Ethernet is being bridged.
Activity Will light up when there is network activity.

Problem 1: The LEDs on my DHN-1000 are not lighting up.
Solutions

· l Make sure the DHN-1000 bridge is plugged into

a power strip.

· l Make sure that your HPNA network does not
exceed 1,000 feet. If your HPNA PC's are more
than 1,000 feet apart, your network performance

may be diminished, which may result in data
loss.

· l Make sure that your RJ-45 cable is properly
inserted into the DHN-1000's Ethernet port as
well as your Gateway or Switch.

Problem 2: My DHN-1000 is not working.
Solutions

· l Make sure the Cat5 cable from the Gateway to
the DHN-1000 is in good condition.

· l When connecting the bridge to your PC, Switch
or Gateway, make sure all your network

devices are powered down. Connect all cables
to your devices, then power on.

Problem 3: Cannot get connected to the LAN network
using only a 10/100Mb Ethernet NIC card and HPNA 2.0
PCI or USB adapters.
Solutions

l Make sure that your Cat5 cable is in good working

order.

l Check for proper configuration of your 10/100

and DHN-520 adapters in your Network
Neighborhood properties.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem 4: What if I can't connect to the network and
suspect a faulty RJ-11 cable.

Solution

l You may wish to plug a standard phone into an

active phone jack to test both the line and the cable.

Note: Theoretically, 30 PC’s are the maximum accommodated on
the network, with the entire length of cable not exceeding 150
meters (500 feet). However, due to phone line conditions, D-

Link recommends 5 to 10 PC’s on your HPNA network.
Note: After installing a 10/100 NIC card, make sure that the

card and hub both have “link lights” when connected.
Check for proper installation of HPNA PCI and HPNA USB

adapters in your Operating System.

Problem 3:continued
Solutions
(Please refer to the Network basics for proper configuration)

l Refer to pages 14 & 15 under Computer

Identification and Workgroup name.

l Refer to pages 27 thru 39 for configuring both

dynamic and static addresses for TCP/IP.

Note: A “cross-over” or “straight-through” cable can be used
on the DHN-1000 Ethernet port. The DHN-1000 will auto-detect

a “straight-through” or “cross-over” cable, and make the
appropriate connections.

NETWORKING BASICS

in the "Computer name:" box. This will be the name that other
computers on your network will use to communicate with this
computer. Each computer’s name must be unique on a

particular network or confusion will result. (The computer’s
name should be 15 or fewer characters with no spaces.)

D.Type the workgroup name this computer will be a part of in

the "Workgroup:" box. All of the computers on your network
should have an identical Workgroup name.

E. The "Computer Description:" box is optional. You may enter

a description that will help you identify this computer on your
network. Then click "Close".

F. Repeat this process for each computer on your network to

ensure that they all have a unique "Computer Name" and
identical "Workgroup".

15

NETWORKING BASICS

Sharing Files

With your computers connected together on a network, you
may now open and save files on another computer. You will

be able to specify particular folders or disk drives to "share"
and even password protect them. The steps below will enable
you to share specific files and folders with other computers on

your network.
A. On your Desktop, right-click the icon "Network

Places" and select "Properties" from the context menu.

B. This dialog box is where you will come to configure most

of your computers network settings. It is also available through
the "Network" icon in the Control Panel.

17

NETWORKING BASICS

Sharing Files

H. You will now be able to identify a particular folder or disk

drive to share. You may want to share a folder that both you
and a colleague/family member needs to access occasionally.
Or, maybe you want to share a CD-ROM drive so your other

computer that does not have one can read CD’s. Both of
these processes are the same. Only the disk drives and folders
that you specifically identify as shared will be accessible to

other computers on your network.

I. Find the disk drive or folder you want to share with

Windows Explorer or the "My Computer" icon on your desktop.

J. Right-click on the disk drive or folder icon and select "Sharing·"

18

NETWORKING BASICS

Sharing Files

K. Select "Share As:" to set the parameters for sharing this

particular disk drive or folder.

L. The "Share Name:" box is used to identify the disk drive or

folder you are sharing to other computers on the network.
You can give it any name you wish. However, a specific
identification may help as more resources on your network

are shared.

M. The "Comment:" box is optional. You can use this box to

further describe the disk drive or folder for others on the network.

N. "Access Type:" allows you to designate how much

someone else on the network can do with this disk drive or
folder. "Read-Only" allow others to only look at or open the
files on the disk drive or in the folder. "Full" allows other to

read, write, open, save, copy, move, and delete files on the
disk or in the folder. "Depends on Password" gives other
computers access conditional upon the password they provide.

19

NETWORKING BASICS

Sharing Files

O. "Passwords:" allow you to apply a level of security to your

shared disk drives and folders. Another computer (user) will be
required to enter the password you designate here before

accessing the disk drive or folder. Two passwords are used to
give two levels of security (or access) to others on the network
using the "Depends on Password" setting. Leaving the

"Password" boxes empty gives everyone on the network
access to the disk drive or folder.

P. Click "OK" to continue. You will be prompted to enter the

password(s) you provided for verification. Retype the
password(s) just as you entered them the first time.

20

NETWORKING BASICS

Sharing Files

Q. You may now access this disk drive or folder from another

computer on your network. Do so by double-clicking the
"My Network Places" icon on your desktop or inside
Windows Explorer.

R. Navigate to the computer with the shared disk drive or

folder (recognized by the "Computer Name" you provided),
double-click. You should now see the disk drive or folder,

double-click. If you specified a password when sharing this
disk drive or folder, you will be prompted for the password.

S. You can access a disk drive or folder shared over the

network from most Windows applications. To make this
process easier, Windows allows you to map these disk drives
and folders to a drive letter on another computer. For example,

on a computer where you are accessing a shared folder from
another computer, inside Windows Explorer right-click and
select "Map Network Drive·" You will then be able to assign

an available drive letter. Checking "Reconnect at logon"
allows Windows to map this network drive each time you
start your computer.

Sharing Printers

"Sharing" a printer connected to one computer with other
computers on you network can be very convenient - allowing

you to print from any computer on the network. The steps
below will enable you to print with other computers on your

network.

A. On your Desktop, right-click the icon "Network

Places" and select "Properties" from the context menu.

22

NETWORKING BASICS

Sharing Printers

B. Click the "File and Print Sharing·" button.
C. Click to place a check mark next to "I want to be able to

D. Click "OK" on the "File and Print Sharing" dialog box.
E. Click "OK" on the "Network" dialog box.

23

NETWORKING BASICS

Sharing Printers

F. You may now share any installed printers connected to

this computer with other computers on your network.

From the Start select Setting then select "Printers".
Right click on the printer you want to share with others on

the network and select "Sharing·"

G. Click "Share As:" and provide a "Share Name:" to identify

the printer to other computers on the network. "Comment:"
and "Password:" are optional. Then click "OK".
For a computer to access a Network Printer, the device driver
or software for that printer must be installed and pointed to the
proper location of the printer. This is done much the same way
you installed the printer on the computer it is connected to.

H. Go to a computer that does not have the printer connected

to it. From the "Start" button on the Task Bar select "Settings"
and then "Printers".

I. Double click the "Add Printer" icon.
J. The "Add Printer Wizard" will appear. Click "Next >".

24

NETWORKING BASICS

Sharing Printers

K. Choose "Network printer" and click "Next >".
L. Now you will identify the location of the Network Printer.

If you know the name of the computer and the share name of
the printer, you can type it into the "Network path or queue
name:" box. However, it is easier to click the "Browse·" button

and navigate to the location of the printer. Click "OK" when
you have selected the desired printer. Finish the installation by
continuing the "Add Printer Wizard" normally.

M. You may now use the Network Printer as if it was connected

directly. Note: the computer that the printer is connected to
must be on to use the printer. If you find this inconvenient,
devices known as Network Print Servers are available from

D-Link including the DP-301 and DP-101P. A Network Print
Server would allow you to directly connect your printer to
your network without worrying about which computer is 'on'.
