       does't function properly. Please make sure that your Computer

       your Computer name in

       "My Computer" -> "Control Panel" -> "Network" -> "Identification"
       icons

      Everything appears to be OK but 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 is set to "AutoSense" or the correct media type.
       You can check it in
