Network Connection Problems

Assume you own a cabled network device and you are not able to establish any connection via one of the UTP wall sockets,
did you consider the following:


1. Has the UTP socket already been patched?


2. Has my device already been registered on the DHCP server?


3. Is the network cable I'm using physically ok, resp. could it be, that it is not working?

  • Ask the hardware responsible of your Institute for a alternative cable.


4. Did I deactivate WLAN of my device?

  • If not, do so, because WLAN activated in parallel to cabled networking can cause problems.


5. Did I deactivate 802.1x authentication of my device?

  • If not, do so, because if 802.1x is activated, the registered MAC adress will be ignored, as a consequence you won't be able to get into the correct network.


6. Has a dumb switch been connected between my device and the UTP socket?

  • If yes, pull the dumb switch' power cable for approx. 20 seconds to empty it's port cache. After that, try again.
