Troubleshooting
1. Can I use my DUB-E100 on a USB 1.1 port?
The DUB-E100 will work on a USB 1.1 port but the transfer speeds will be limited to the
limitations of USB 1.1. If your computer does not have USB 2.0 ports, you can purchase an
add-in USB 2.0 adapter to add USB 2.0 functionality to your computer.
D-Link offers the following USB 2.0 adapters:
• DU-520 (5 Port USB 2.0 PCI Adapter) for desktop computers.
• DUB-A2 (2-Port USB 2.0 PCI Adapter) for desktop computers.
• DUB-C2 (2-Port USB 2.0 CardBus Adapter) for laptops computers.
2. Do I need to use a crossover cable or straight-through cable?
With most of D-Link's Ethernet adapters, the Ethernet ports are Auto MDI-II/MDI-X. This
means the port will auto-sense the cable type. Auto MDI-II/MDI-X ports may react
differently if the Ethernet cable is not properly pinned. If you make your own cables, it is
very important that they follow the industry standard pin-out (568A and 568B).
Computer connections to a hub, switch, or router typically use a straight-through cable.
When connecting a computer to another computer or to an uplink port then a cross-over
cable is typically required. Rule of Thumb: "If there is a link light, the cable is right."
3. How do I verify that my DUB-E100 is properly installed?
You can verify that the adapter has been properly installed in Device Manager:
• Right click on the My Computer icon and select Properties.
For Windows 98 and ME: Go to the Device Manager tab.
For Windows XP, 2000 and Server 2003: Go to the Hardware tab and click on
the Device Manager button.
For Windows Vista: Click on the Device Manager under the Tasks group.
• Expand the Network Adapters heading by clicking on the plus (+) sign next to
Network Adapters.
• The D-Link USB DUB-E100 should appear with a green and gold network adapter
symbol.
Note: Please refer to manual for the validation of Mac OS and Linux
If the D-Link USB DUB-E100 in device manager appears with a bright yellow exclamation
mark or a red x, please contact D-Link Technical Support.
