  • If you set the startup time of the machine's network function by following the procedure in "Setting Startup Time," execute the PING command only after the time set as the startup time passes.
  • If you connect the machine to a switching hub, the machine may not be able to connect to a network even though your network settings are appropriate. This problem may be resolved by delaying the startup of network communications for the machine. See "Setting Startup Time," for information on how to set up the startup time.
  1. Press (Main Menu) to return to the Main Menu screen.

The machine is successfully connected to the Internet using IPv6.
