These are some solutions to problems that occur when a local console
on a network (LAN) fails to connect to a server.
Try these possible solutions:
Verify the network is working.
Verify that you provide the correct password to allow the
server to access your service device information during the configuration
wizard. Also, verify that you are providing the correct service tools user
ID and password.
If you are using Ethernet for your network, you can use a crossover cable
to directly connect the PC to the adapter temporarily. This isolates the PC
and server from any potential problems on your network that might interfere
with correct operations.
Note: A crossover cable is a standard network cable
but has the transmit and receive signal wires reversed. This essentially allows
each end to act as if a hub, switch, or router is between them.
