1. Windows doesn't detect new hardware with the Gigabit USB Network Adapter hardware connected,  
or it continues to detect the adapter each time I restart the PC.  
You might not have correctly or securely installed the adapter into your computer. Check that the adapter  
is securely inserted into the appropriate USB Port.  
The system BIOS might not be USB compatible, your PC’s USB settings may not be enabled, or the  
motherboard may have USB options not supported by Windows Millennium, Windows 2000, or Windows  
XP. If you are not sure, contact your PC’s manufacturer.  
Refer to the PC’s User Guide.  
2. Windows can't locate the driver for the Gigabit USB Adapter  
You may have inserted the wrong Driver CD into your PCs CD-Rom drive.  
The Driver CD may be defective or files may be missing, or you may be pointing Windows to the wrong  
drive. Ensure that the driver CD includes the files “USB1000.inf” and “USB1000.sys”.  
3. The Windows Logon screen doesn't appear after restarting the computer.  
Click on Start, then Log Off. Log back in. If this doesn't solve the problem, your PCs manufacturer may  
have disabled Windows' networking. Contact your computer's manufacturer for help. If using Windows  
2000, refer to your Microsoft documentation.

Appendix E: Warranty Information  
LIMITED WARRANTY  
Linksys warrants to You that, for a period of one year (the “Warranty Period”), your Linksys Product will be substantially  
free of defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. Your exclusive remedy and Linksys' entire liability under  
this warranty will be for Linksys at its option to repair or replace the Product or refund Your purchase price less any  
rebates. This limited warranty extends only to the original purchaser.  
If the Product proves defective during the Warranty Period call Linksys Technical Support in order to obtain a Return  
Authorization Number, if applicable. BE SURE TO HAVE YOUR PROOF OF PURCHASE ON HAND WHEN CALLING. If You are  
requested to return the Product, mark the Return Authorization Number clearly on the outside of the package and include a  
copy of your original proof of purchase. RETURN REQUESTS CANNOT BE PROCESSED WITHOUT PROOF OF PURCHASE. You  
are responsible for shipping defective Products to Linksys. Linksys pays for UPS Ground shipping from Linksys back to You  
only. Customers located outside of the United States of America and Canada are responsible for all shipping and handling  
charges.  
ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE LIMITED  
TO THE DURATION OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. ALL OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS AND  
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, ARE DISCLAIMED. Some jurisdictions do not  
allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to You. This warranty gives  
You specific legal rights, and You may also have other rights which vary by jurisdiction.  
This warranty does not apply if the Product (a) has been altered, except by Linksys, (b) has not been installed, operated,  
repaired, or maintained in accordance with instructions supplied by Linksys, or (c) has been subjected to abnormal  
physical or electrical stress, misuse, negligence, or accident. In addition, due to the continual development of new  
techniques for intruding upon and attacking networks, Linksys does not warrant that the Product will be free of  
vulnerability to intrusion or attack.  
TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL LINKSYS BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST DATA, REVENUE OR  
PROFIT, OR FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY  
OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE PRODUCT  
(INCLUDING ANY SOFTWARE), EVEN IF LINKSYS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT  
WILL LINKSYS’ LIABILITY EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR THE PRODUCT. The foregoing limitations will apply even  
if any warranty or remedy provided under this Agreement fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the  
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to You.  
Please direct all inquiries to: Linksys, P.O. Box 18558, Irvine, CA 92623.
