Section 3 - Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
Do I need to use a crossover cable or straight-through cable?
With most of D-Link’s switches/routers, the Ethernet ports are Auto MDI-II/MDI-X. This means the port will auto-sense the cable
type. Auto MDI-II/MDI-X ports may react dierently if the Ethernet cable is not properly pinned. If you make your own cables,
it is very important that they follow the industry standard pin-out (568A and 568B).
Computer connections to a hub, switch, or router typically use a straight-through cable. When connecting a computer to
another computer or to an uplink port then a cross-over cable is typically required. Rule of Thumb: ”If there is a link light, the
cable is right.”
How do I verify that my DUB-E100 is properly installed?
Windows
You can verify that the adapter has been properly installed in Device Manager by following these steps:
• Right-click on the My Computer icon and select Properties.
• For Windows XP, 2000, and Server 2003: Go to the Hardware tab and click on the Device Manager button
• For Windows Vista: Click on the Device Manager item under the Tasks group.
• Expand the Network Adapters heading by clicking on the plus (+) sign next to Network Adapters.
• Right-click on the My Computer icon and select Properties.
• The D-Link USB DUB-E100 should appear with a green and gold network adapter symbol.
If the D-Link USB DUB-E100 in Device Manager appears with a bright yellow exclamation mark or a red x, please
contact D-Link Technical Support.
Mac
• Click the Apple icon on the task bar, select System Preferences, and then click the Network icon.
• You will find that a new Ethernet network interface is available. It is usually named Ethernet Adapter (en1) or Ethernet
Adapter (en2).
