Xerox Workcentre m20i - tcp/ip

I wonder if your network kit is bad or possibly the connection from it to the main board is just not good. Try a couple of things. remove the back cover and check the connectors and the network accessory kit to be sure it is properly connected. Once that is done if that doesn't work give this a try, this is a total memory reset.
You will see 2 RAM chips One is a SIMM the other A Dimm. With the machine off, remove both. With those 2 memory sticks removed, turn the machine back on and let it come to full ready. ( what you have done is removed the fax and network memory cards in essescense) . Then when the machine comes to ready, shut it off, unplug the machine, reinstall the SIMM and DIMM and power it back on and let it come to ready. You may have to reenter the addressing again. But that will give you a clean firmware, software restart. Often times that's all thats required. If those things don't work let me know, We will work from there.

Good evening niebs, The first thing I would do is eliminate the network connection as an issue. The easiest way (if you don?t have a network testing device) is disconnect the network cable from the printer and connect a laptop. Then configure the laptop using the same IP, subnet mask, gateway and DNS server IP you used in the printer and test for a good network. I would make sure I had Internet access on the laptop as well as the ability to ping. This test has the added effect of ensuring these numbers are in fact correct. If you have eliminated the network connection the next thing to check is the person who configured and maintains your network and servers. Checking with them will eliminate the possibility that they have setup the network to prevent anyone from connecting network devices without permission. By default I prevent my switches from allowing people to plug in other equipment that isn?t registered with me. That trick has saved me from a lot of problems over the years. You mentioned resetting the Network Interface Card (NIC) but I would go a step further, restore the factory settings on the entire machine and start from scratch. You might want to check with your network administrator to find out what you network switch connection speed is set to. If it?s set to auto make sure your print server is as well. If that doesn?t work try setting your print server to 10Mbps, half-duplex. I?ve had some problems in the past with auto not working correctly on print servers. If this printer is still under warrantee then I would get on the phone and contact the help desk, you might just have a lemon. Let us know how things go and please don?t forget to rate the posting.
