12.11.2 Incorrect parameter setting/switches
The idea of Incorrect Parameter Setting/Switches on the printer drivers applies here to the NIC drivers. In some instances, NICs and NIC drivers are installed that have numerous amounts of configuration software and parameter settings or switches. The correct driver may have been installed. However, the NIC may still not be functioning. In these instances, check the software settings that may have been provided. Sometimes after installing the drivers, specific settings or switches must be configured to allow the NIC to work properly.
