Hello Bennie, Thank you for sharing your feedback. It’s disappointing to hear that the Workstation Dock isn’t functioning as expected with your ThinkPad P16 and we understand how frustrating that must be. Here are a few troubleshooting steps that might help resolve the issue. 1.Update Drivers and Firmware: Use the Lenovo Vantage app to check for and install updates for both your P16 and the Thunderbolt 4 dock. 2. Verify BIOS Settings: Check your BIOS settings to make sure Thunderbolt is enabled and that no security settings are preventing it from connecting properly. 3. Check Device Manager: In Windows Device Manager, look under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" or "Thunderbolt" for any error icons or issues. Try disabling and re-enabling the network adapter in the docking station, or scan for hardware changes. 4. Perform a Full Reset: Unplug all cables from the docking station, including the power cable, and disconnect it from your laptop. Wait a few minutes, then reconnect everything and try again. 5. Try a Different Cable or Dock: An old or faulty Ethernet cable can cause issues. If the issue persists, you may need to try a different, compatible Thunderbolt 4 dock, as some users have reported issues with specific dock models or batches. If the issue persists after following these steps, we recommend reaching out to our tech support team at 1-855-253-6686. We're committed to ensuring your satisfaction and appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this matter. Regards, Thomas, Lenovo
