The following points discuss the functions of a network controller, reasons for it to not functioning properly, and ways to resolve the issues:

  • Role of a network controller (NIC)
  • Reasons for malfunctioning
  • Tips for resolving the issues

Role of a network controller (NIC)

The Network Interface Card (NIC) plays a very important role in the proper functioning of the system. It acts as the physical interface between the system and the network. The network card is important as it contains the 48-bit serial code called the Machine Access Code (MAC) address, which helps it to be differentiated from the other systems on the network. The network cards are of different varieties, for example, of 10/100 and 1000 Megabits per second.

Reasons for malfunctioning

The fault in the network controller may be caused due to a couple of reasons with the system. This may be because of the wrong drivers that are installed on the system. If the drivers that are installed on the system may not be compatible with the hardware, this will result in a conflict, and the system will give an error on startup. If this is the case, then open 'Control Panel' and roll back the network card driver to see if the error is resolved. If it does, then there is a hardware fault on your Adamo By Dell Pearl laptop and it can be resolved by taking the machine to a tech support service provider.

Tips for resolving the issues

If the BIOS has been updated recently, it might result in a problem. The BIOS should not be updated without the assurance that the new version is authentic and compatible. If the new BIOS installed is not an update of the existing BIOS, then this will result in an error.
