A1 Verify whether the wireless LAN function of the computer is on by doing the
following. If the wireless LAN function is off, turn it on.
ꢀFor Windows XP, verify that the wireless network connection has been set to
“Enable” in Start > Control Panel > Network Connections.
ꢀCheck if the wireless LAN is turned on.
A2 Verify whether the same network key (encryption key) has been entered in both
the AP and the computer.
The network key is an encryption key for encrypting data transmitted between the
AP and the computer. It is recommended setting the network key manually.
Check the AP Settings
For the AP settings, refer to the User’s Guide provided by the AP manufacturer.
A3 Verify whether the environment is suitable for using a wireless LAN.
The use of a wireless LAN may be restricted according to the environment and
distance. Obstacles such as walls or doors affect the use of a wireless LAN.
ꢀInstall the AP in a high and open space 50cm from the wall and far removed
from any other radio signal sources.
A4 Verify whether the AP is operating properly.
ꢀWhen the AP is not operating normally, turn off the AP and after a short while
turn it on again.
ꢀVerify whether the AP’s firmware is the most recent version. (Contact the AP
manufacturer or the place where you purchased the AP for details of the AP
firmware.)

Chapter 7. Recovering the Computer 7-19
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
A6 Check the network key settings (encryption key).
When automatic code conversion (a passphrase function) has been selected and
data communication is not functioning even with a normal wireless connection, it
is recommended entering the network key (encryption key) manually.
A7 Check the AP settings as follows. (The following is recommended for a standard
environment and thus may differ according to the specific wireless network
environment.)
ꢀ When several APs are present simultaneously, check the channel setting for
each AP. When different APs are using nearby channels, interference may
occur between electronic waves. Set the APs’ channels further apart from each
other. (Ex: Ch1, Ch5, Ch9, Ch13)
ꢀ When an AP’s SSID (Service Set ID) option is set to “Hide”, you cannot search
for that AP on the computer. We recommend canceling the “Hide” option for
an AP. The SSID is a name for distinguishing one wireless LAN from another
wireless LAN.
ꢀ It is recommended using Long Preamble. Preamble is a signal for data
transmission synchronization. Short Preamble may be supported by some
types of APs but may cause compatibility problems.
ꢀ It is recommended using a static IP.
ꢀ Since static channel selection is more reliable than auto channel selection, it is
recommended setting a static channel.
Q5 In the Windows XP ‘Available wireless networks’ window, the
Wireless Network Connection is displayed as ‘Not Available’.
A1 Check if the wireless LAN is turned on.
A2 Check if there is additional program for a wireless LAN connection installed.
Windows XP supports wireless LAN connections through the Wireless Zero
Configuration (WZC) service. Therefore, an additional program for wireless LAN
connection is not required, unless the network requires a specific program.
However, installation of some wireless LAN related programs may sometimes
disable the [View Available Wireless Networks] window supported by WZC
service. Exit the wireless LAN related program then check whether the window is
enabled.
A3 Initialize the device driver.
Click Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance >
System > Hardware tab > Device Manager > Network adapters,
and select the wireless LAN adapter. Right-click the network adaptor and select
'Disable' from the popup menu. Then right-click over the network adaptor and
select 'Enable' after a short wait to check that the device is operating properly.

wireless network using the Windows XP program, this option should be selected.
Q6 When connecting to a computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network,
I cannot connect to another computer connected to the same
computer-to-computer network.
A1 Make sure that the security settings and network name of the computer-to-com-
puter (Ad Hoc) network is correct.
A2 Check the TCP/IP properties of the computers to be connected through the com-
puter-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network. All of the computers to be connected
through a computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network should be configured so that
their IP addresses are within the same subnet range.
ꢀ If the TCP/IP Settings are configured to DHCP, the address is automatically
configured to an address within the subnet IP range. This will take about 2~3
minutes.
ꢀ If the IP address is configured to static IP in TCP/IP properties, select Use the
following IP address in the TCP/IP properties of the wireless adapter,
configure IP address:10.0.0.1~10.0.0.254, and Subnet mask:
255.255.255.0, and then try again.
ꢀ A fixed IP is recommended for a small-size network.
Q7 When using a computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network,
sometimes I cannot search the access point.
A
It may happen occasionally when you are using a computer-to-computer (Ad
Hoc) network connection. Even if you cannot find some access points, the

address simultaneously. To use either the wireless or the wired network in turn
with the same IP address, you have to Disable whichever network device will not
be using in the network connection of the Control Panel.
Q10 The wireless LAN does not work properly when there is a
device operating on an adjacent frequency in the vicinity of the
product.
A1 Channel interference may occur when a wireless video transceiver or a
microwave oven is being used.If you experience channel interference from other
equipment, it is recommended changing the channel to connect to the AP. For
more information about AP settings, refer to the User Manual supplied by the AP
manufacturer.
A2 Since IEEE802.11g equipment operates in hybrid mode when there is active
IEEE802.11b equipment, the data rate may be degraded.
Q11 An established wireless LAN connection is disconnected after
2~3 minutes, and the connection is not recovered.
A1 This may be caused by channel interference. Change the channel of the AP, and
reconnect.
A2 This may be caused by selecting the ‘Use IEEE 802.1x network authentication’
option when IEEE 802.1x authentication is not available.
Check the properties of the AP in the wireless network settings. If the ‘Use IEEE
802.1x authentication in this network’ option is selected, deselect the option on
the Authentication tab.For more detailed information about authentication server,
ask your network administrator.
A3 If the AP is configured to ‘Use network authentication (Shared Key)’
