8. If none of the previous suggestions works, return to the network adapter
Properties dialog box, click the General tab, and then click Troubleshoot.
Windows Server 2008 Help will open and lead you through a series of steps to
try to resolve the problem.
9. When you have solved the resource problem as best you can, close the
network adapter Properties dialog box and close the Device Manager. If you
made changes in the resources, you may be told that you need to restart
your computer and asked whether you want to do it now. Click Yes, and the
computer will restart.
10. If you successfully made a change to the resources, you should now see a
networking icon in the system tray in the lower right. If you do, go to the next
major section, ???Install Network Functions and Configure Protocols.??? If you
don??™t see a Local Area Connection icon, continue with the following section.
Network Adapter Not Functioning
If neither installing a network adapter driver nor changing its resource allocation caused
the networking icon to appear, it is very likely that the network adapter itself is not
functioning properly. The easiest way to test that is to replace the network adapter with
a known good one, ideally one that is both certified to run with Windows Server 2008
and Plug and Play??“compatible. It is wise to have several spare network adapters; they
are not terribly expensive (see Chapter 5), and switching out a suspected bad one can
quickly solve problems.
